Greenwich

In case you wonder what you are looking at, this is a close up from Greenwich Museum. One can easily spend whole day both indoors and outdoors exploring this rather important place on Earth. After all, we measure time from a line on the ground here.


Since I am not a scientist, this is as far as I would go with any scientific talk and begin to focus on what caught my eye this time I visited Greenwich.


I just love the combination of the subtle tones on these two photographs. Despite the fact that both were taken indoors I believe it was the sun shining through the glass roof and big windows that helped set up this atmosphere. Of course, the material of the propeller and the beacon also needs to be thanked for to catch my attention.


The shine & reflection, the yellows & greys, the lightness & darkness that would help break the images to simplicity. All of this is so similar to the two following and contrasting photographs. These are close ups of boats from some time ago.

Stripped bare from the decoration it is the colour scheme that I find so striking. So bold. At the same time, notice the harmony within the colour patches dividing the space on the photographs into such balanced sections.

Just squint your eyes and see...






Over the past few weeks I have collected number of inspirational images that have created ideas in my head. It is about time I started sketching them up so that you can see where I am going with my line of thinking. Just bare with me for a bit longer. The weather has been so good recently that I do not want to sit at home but prefer to go out and collect material for cold dark winter days. Therefore, enjoy the rest of this Indian Summer and see you with my next post. Kx
