    Certainly is very blue – what about the German work – blau. All those latin derivatives are related anyhow…

  • Glenn Alderson replied

    This is all the info I’ve found on Blue,bleu,blwe,bla & blao:
    The modern English word blue comes from the Middle English, bleu or blwe, which came from an Old French word bleu of Germanic origin (Frankish or possibly Old High German blao, “shining”). Bleu replaced Old English blaw. The root of these variations was the Proto-Germanic blæwaz, which was also the root of the Old Norse word bla and the modern Icelandic blár, and the Scandinavian word blå, but it can refer to other colours. A Scots and Scottish English word for “blue-grey” is blae, from the Middle English bla (“dark blue,” from the Old English blæd). Ancient Greek lacked a word for colour blue and Homer called the colour of the sea “wine dark”, except that the word kyanos (cyan) was used for dark blue enamel.

    like your use of light & silhouette of tree branches… nicely composed with the light coming from the side - eye catching electric blue :)

  • Glenn Alderson replied

    I’m experimenting with colour at the moment, playing with old images & seeing what happens.
