L is for Lavender
When I took a trip to Provence in France last November, I couldn't help but notice how the evenings were purple there. Here in Brooklyn, the sky can go on fire. Wild orange and red as the sun sets behind the East River and Manhattan. But in Provence, there was such an extraordinary haze of lavender at dusk. And I loved it. What color does the world turn where you are?

It turns pink here as the sun goes down.
ReplyDeleteThe lavender is just perfect. I can almost smell the colour. Beautiful, restful, calm photographs - just right for the close of day.
I love the pics!!
ReplyDeleteIt depends. Some days its blue and others its a reddish-purple. Great post. Lavender is beautiful. I burn lavender scented incense often. Good luck with the challenge!
ReplyDeleteI love the lavendar. At home the colours that strike you are hues of green. I guess that is why it is often called the Emerald Isle.

It kinda goes all pinkish and orangey at the other end of the island.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are beautiful. I read that volcanic activity can create sunsets that are strongly orangey or purplish.
