Blue Moods

Egyptian Door Knocker and Blue Door, Rome, Italy  © Doug Hickok
(Velvia slide film)


Today is the last bluesy post of the series. After two weeks of feeling the blues, I am moving on to the final hue in the color spectrum, violet. In the mean time, say hello to the Egyptian keeper of the gate...
Do you know the pass word?

    How are you going to beat your blue images. Looking forward to Violet. PS I think the password is "Giza".

    your 'blue phase' was a joy to behold, doug, and this is a worthy conclusion to it! as an avid reader of harry potter books i suggest 'caput draconis' as password ;-)
    have a happy and blessed easter, you and yours !!

    Great eye Doug--beautiful range of blues within the frame and I love the simple symmetry of your composition.

    A superb image that brought to mind Luther Allisons quote... "before I left, I opened a lot of doors for a lot of people to play the blues."

    Great detail in blue... Rome offers so many little things to catch: and your eye caught one of them. So nice!
    Have a nice day.
