I’m intrigued by the deconstruction of colour: purple with it’s tones of red and blue. Here red onions are edging towards purple and eggplants have an undertone of black-blue. I really wanted to photograph squashed mulberries for their extraordinary integrated richness of hue but it’s some months before they ripen up.
Many associations come to mind with the colour purple, but with the recent passing of Jon Lord, I draw inspiration from Deep Purple’s “Smoke on the Water”, fire in the sky. Although nowhere near Montreux, the scene is a sunrise over a dam near Citrusdal (Western Cape). Can’t you just hear the rhythmic underpinnings of guitar and keyboard? If only one could paint the music. He was one of rock music’s greatest. RIP.

Yes, of course I can hear them!! They are great, even today. Goodl old vontage. Deep Purple rocks you …
Great… rock on!
Lovely shiny veges, great take on the subject 🙂 I so rarely see those colours in the sky, I get lots of oranges and yellow and gold. Smoke on the water, Fire in the SKY!
Thanks for the comment. The fiery skies are a treat, tho’ they don’t happen that often.
Beautiful pictures. Great interpretation of this week’s theme.
Thanks for the comments Arindam.
I hear a purple perplexing rhythm raining down from the lovely purple sky
trickling through the soft clouds, filtered by greenery
to gently lull my mind to calm serenity 🙂
Love both images – nice take on the theme 🙂
Thanks for the poetic comments, lovely 🙂
clever to have thought of onions and eggplant …
well done
Thanks muchly!
