Greetings @qwerrie ,
What a lovely day-out....the light is perfect...is it not.
Thank you for describing the different swings.
Historically speaking, regarding the black colour dominanace in clothing...I was thinking on the same subject the other day. The query that came to mind: How could this trend have lasted this long? and others....something to think on!
Enjoyed your lovely post and photographs....thank you!
Kind Regards, Bleujay
I have read a few years ago several books by French medieval historian, Michelle Pasture, his 'The History of Color' cycle. The colours he investigated, were Red, Green, Blue and Black. This was fantastic reading, if you let me to recommend it to you and if only you have time you can invest in reading. Black color has a contradictory fate. The color of the primordial darkness, in the Middle Ages it migrated to the robes of monks, soon began to dominate the Protestant wardrobe, turned into a favorite color of lawyers and businessmen, in the romanticism era it became the sign of melancholy, and later - a marker of elegance and style ... and at the same time an indispensable attribute of mundane everyday life. But I am rather sick of it (tho I appreciate B-W Monochrome in photography).
