Colors of the Fall

The other day I went to a funeral service in a small village near my town. The atmosphere was overwhelming, and the weather was cold and cloudy. Gray, compact, stratus clouds. A heart attack; and he was not even old. Nor young, yet not old...

On the way towards the church and the graveyard, I've noticed many colorful chrysanthemum by the fences.

In a churchyard by a river,

Lazing in the haze of midday...

While on my way back, I've shot some of them because I saw pretty colors in a gray day.

Mehedinti County Roads

After a rainy summer, I thought we'll enjoy a sunny autumn. I was pretty wrong. We've had our sunny days at the beginning of the autumn, only the forest was still green. I wanted some sunny days while there are a large palette of colors in the hills towards the Godeanu Mountains in Mehedinti county, Romania.

In between the above mentioned periods of time, I saw some interesting cloud formation near my city (or is it a town?! - I was always wondered), Drobeta Turnu Severin. So I drove that way, and I wanted a better angle, then a better panorama, then a higher ground, then a view after the next corner, and the next... So I've reached a higher altitude village (430 m asl) at some 30 km away from Severin, Ciresu (the cherry tree).

The Wrong Turn

The road is winding among forests, meadows and grasslands.

Sometimes a calf is just sitting in the middle of the road like a veritable statue.

But the best pictures were the flora ones! In order to enjoy the beautiful autumnal flowers, one might want to pull over and make a few steps in the surrounding forests. He or she will be enchanted by a wide variety of colors and sounds! I leave you with the colors, and invite you to listen the sounds by yourselves!

Frozen Melted Snow

Yes! It was snow, it melted, then it was freezing in the evening!

Three photos of the same surface (the roof of my car), in three different places, at three moments in time: 17:39, 18:05, 18:10 (Jan. 14th, 2014).

Three different colors: light blue, silver, copper.

Pink Floyd - The Colours

A while ago I posted somewhere on the web a "theory" about PINK colour. The original post was about a pink lizard.

So I thought that in Pink Floyd's name we find the colour PINK.

Pink is a combination of red and white. The main colors are red, yellow and blue. By the combination of the other two colours, yellow and blue, we obtain green, so "Green Is The Colour". Corporal Clegg had a coloured medal:

Corporal Clegg had a medal too

In orange, red, and blue 

He found it in the zoo.

In Stay, "A yellow moon is growing cold" (from the album Obscured by Clouds).

Pink is the only colour that we will not find in the rainbow. The rainbow reminds us about their album: Dark Side Of The Moon. See you on the dark side of the moon!

Any Colour You Like is another great song!

Blue... Good Bye Blue Sky!

Us And Them, black and blue...

So: PINK is quite a colour, and PINK FLOYD quite a band!
