Seeing the Blues...

It's been something of a blue/grey/blue/grey week so far around these parts, presenting all manner of fluctuating natural light conditions & challenges in which to indulge in the drawing process.

Monday tended rather gloriously towards the blue, & wonderfully clear, & a potter outdoors for the purposes of taking the fresh air resulted in a most aesthetic find, of the view from the local 'top field' over the rooftops of the town across the Dee estuary to the Wirral beyond. With the tide to a greater extent up & in, & the river surface calm, the blue sky thus reflected from this natural mirror &, in tandem with the length of quite similarly blue-painted (& toned) wooden panel fence, its hue intensified in the direct sunlight, providing the nearmost boundary of the scene, formed a pair of parallel horizontal bands across its width as pictorially framed, a most striking coincidental occurrence of design:


The double blue lines, as noticed & pictured, might, of course, be claimed to relate somewhat to the local occurrences of 'double black lines' road markings as regularly featured hereabouts...

Pictured also is a composite panorama of the wider scene, taking in the entire length of the fence:
