THEME DAY YELLOW - K IS FOR KERRIN

The long and winding staircase leading me to ..... Kerrin?

April Theme Day Yellow

Abc this week if brought to you by the letter K


Two themes in one again and blogger is being a pain. Something to do with meta tags on the code. Anyway. No daffodils, sunsets, or yellow houses. Wanted something a little obtuse on the eye. So here for your veiwing pleasure/discomfort the library/Town hall steps. Not really yellow a trick of the sunlight. No filters, no post production and no I can't spend all day telling you how to get this image. Blogger won't let me it's being a blue meanie.


Manx words again K is for Kerrin which is pane

Kerrin glonney - pane of glass
Kerrin unnaig - window pane


It should really be pain, as it was a "pain in the neck to get this image." Just for fun though and a little optical enigma. Literally a library image. So use your illusion this April Fool's day and check out those other yellow perils or mellow yellows at........

  9. I liked your phrase a blue meanie so I Googled the phrase and sure enough there was an entry on Wikipedia ... Also, as normal your photo is very impressive and to catch this much yellow via a trick of the sunlight.

  13. Very clever combination of themes.

  14. Even if I didn't love staircases (and photograph them every chance I get) I would love this photo. The deeper yellow radiates warmth, and yet, there's an element of danger with that staircase winding its way skyward.

    Good tension.

  18. I should think the long and winding yellow staircase must lead to Dorothy's yellow brick road -:)

    In case I'm being too obscure, I refer to the Wizard of Oz.

  37. Nice and bright.
    Guess what. This just reminds me I'm living in the yellow house. Yes, my house is painted low scene special effect yellow which is called Tuscan and some white particle in the formula. It was completely out of my mind...

  47. Cool shot, even if it is a bit disorienting at first. According to the hit counter I'm 99,895. But I suppose I could keep refreshing the page until I got to 100K.

  56. Oooh, I like the yellow picture - but I love the Manx words! They sound so quaint! I hope that isn't insulting to the Manx people, it's not meant to be.

    I just love words.
