A Paler Shade of Blue

I was trying to think of a nice title for the lovely photos I took as I was walking home from my Mum’s house today, and “A Paler Shade of Blue” came into my mind. It somehow seemed fitting, given that the sky and sea were so blue and enticing for an artist with a camera phone in her hand. For a moment the old song “A Whiter Shade of Pale” played inside my head and I had to wrack my brains to come up with the correct title. Then I had the brilliant idea of checking out “A Paler Shade of Blue” in Google…

One should never feel too surprised when searching the Internet – of course, other people, too, had thought the words, “A Paler Shade of Blue” had a nice ring to it. Not only is there a 1992 movie of that title but also a beautiful song written by singer/songwriter/musician Michael Armstrong. I liked it so much that I copied and pasted for you. And here my photos of a paler shade of blue, not that they are especially pale – just very blue!
