This week, for the Lens-Artists Photo Challenge, Ritva asks us to Pick A Colour.
I ruminated on red, pondered about purple, almost opted for orange, nearly yielded to yellow, gleaned several greens, prevaricated over pink, but in the end, went for ….
Well, obviously you have to have sky … even if day is long past and evening’s getting on for being midnight blue …
And water’s a must too. Nothing idyllic here. Just industrial sprawl near Rotterdam.
And let’s keep up our less-than-picturesque watery scenes, on the River Thames….
… before nipping off to the fishing town of Arenys de Mar in Catalonia. That’s better. Mended nets hung out to dry.
Let’s stay in Catalonia, but head to Barcelona and some street art …
We’ve got ourselves about a bit. Maybe we need another car wash. That’s where we began, and it’s shown in the featured photo.
From Pyrenees to Pennines 
Okey doke! Going to be singing Car Wash all day now. Thanks for giving me the blues, Margaret xx

Well, I’m dismayed at how long it took me to figure out those were brake lights in your header shot. Can’t resist that fishing village photo.

Ha! Well, we all have our moments of misunderstanding! And fishing nets are evocative, however displayed. Yet it must be one of the toughest jobs going, sea fishing.

Sorry to hear you are off colour, if you are up to a Zoom I myself have a boringly free day so any time

Good choice! And I like that you showed various shades of blue, not just the sky blue.

The arrangement of colours in the fishing nets is spectacular. I confess though that I’m even more drawn to the rusty Thames barge (or whatever it is!)

My trouble this week has been spam, most of the entries have gone there, but I haven’t got the blues yet. I have to truthfully say, I really like your choices, from the header to the rustic boat, and the blue nets. I usually see the orange ones. I am happy you enjoyed this challenge

Blues hues! Great photos as always. I hope you had an amazing birthday. I’m so overloaded as I near the end of the year it gives me the blues and also it gives me a boost of endorphins knowing that in a handful of days, I’ll be done for the summer. But the days are fleeting and I have to be mindful of that. Have a wonderful Friday and a fabulous weekend.
