Marmalade Skies
A stormy sky and a river of buttercups - this is a photo from the suburbs of Liverpool but why did it make me think of the famous song by the Beatles: 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds'?

You know the lines:

"Picture yourself in a boat on a river,
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.

Cellophane flowers of yellow and green,
Towering over your head.
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes,
And she's gone...."

Very nice Ian. Great color and still it has a "troubled" feeling over it, much thank to the way you chosen to developed it. Like it..!

Ian Bramham  Thanks Thomas!....this was one of those 'spur of the moment' type shots which just happened to work out better than expected.

Very beautiful! Love the colours and the angle
Best regards Carola
Ian Bramham  Thanks Carola!....this was taken with an extreme wide angle lens (sigma 10-20 at it's widest setting) which produced this slightly distorted view.

I wanted a photo of this stormy sky so walked into the field to try and photograph it against a crop of yellow rapeseed oil plants - those photos were no good but these buttercups on the field margin worked much better.
Beautiful colors and makes me think of spring.
Ian Bramham  Thanks Angela....this is one of my rare photos in colour so it's great to get it accepted here!
