“Blue colour is everlastingly appointed by the deity to be a source of delight.”

When I got a look at my first batch of film scans from our recent trip to Croatia I was quite struck by the blues.

The Adriatic seemed to anchor so many of my photos as the foreground,

the background,

or the main event

While we were in Croatia, I was overwhelmed by the range and intensity of blues every single day.

And how they changed throughout the day.

The water ranged from turquoise in the shallows

to midnight – almost navy.

The sky provided a range of blues all it’s own up from the horizon, resulting in expansive, ombre planes of blue.

and there were some places, a bit farther out from shore, where the blue was so intense and pure, that even in photos it makes me a bit dizzy with delight.
