Life in Colour

To find out more about this year’s photo challenge here on Travel Words, please read this post.

This month we will be looking for Black or Grey. Black is not a colour at all. Theoretically it is the absence of all colour. Yet black is distinctive. Lines are bolder, shadows deeper, colours brighter against a black background.

“There’s a reason we don’t see the world in black and white”
~ Celerie Kemble

This month is not about creating black and white photographs, but in finding the true blacks or greys in a colourful world.

I have lived in the UK for most of my life, but when young I definitely had wanderlust and even ended up living in South Africa for several years which was a wonderful experience. I now look forward to a long and leisurely retirement doing what I like most - gardening, photography, walking and travelling.

  1. This could be fun. When I was at school, my art teacher would not stock black paint, because black doesn’t exist in the real world and we had to mix our own. Let’s see!

    1. Perhaps not flowers this month, but there should be plenty of buildings and other man-made objects.

        1. And as Tish has mentioned – shade and shadows and silhouettes too! All of which you are excellent at discovering.
