I spotted another pale grey door, this time at the top end of George Street in Saltaire. Grey must be one of the Saltaire Conservation Area 'approved colours'. I have taken quite a liking to this shade. It looks really attractive with these orange berries draped around it. I think this plant is some kind of cotoneaster. It has so many berries - does that foretell a harsh winter? It looks quite Christmassy, doesn't it - and I suppose we should be turning our thoughts in that direction. Saltaire (thankfully) doesn't go in for Christmas lights strung up everywhere - but I hope to show you a few hints of Christmas from around the village in the next few weeks.

Orange berries, grey door

What tremendous colours. The grey of the door and the brown of the stone act as perfect foils to those amazing berries.
ReplyDeleteNot sure about the Old Wives' Tales, but who knows. The berry colours really come out well in this shot. Agree with you on the lights, if they are not done well they are awful.
ReplyDeleteWe have included your blog in our guide Around The World.
ReplyDeleteThe guide is both a record of old blogs and a listing of new blogs. Although originally arising from the "City Daily Photo Blog" lists this is an independent publication. Inclusion here does not imply that a blog qualifies for nor is officially a CDPB. Our criteria are that photographs mainly from and related to a specific geographical location (not necessarily a "city" but usually more specific than a whole country or region) are posted at dated intervals (not necessarily daily) and archives are kept which are readily searchable by date.
Please keep us informed of any changes to your details.
