Blue, the colour we usually associate with sadness, but whyis that? The question comes to me as I stare out over the city, marvelling atthe clear blue sky; it’s so utterly perfect today, not the faintest trace of acloud to be seen, not a single aeroplane trail. An Indian summer.
At the end of October it’s not uncommon for it to becomeunseasonably warm, and this, we are told, is known as an Indian summer. Why isthat? Everyone agrees; yes, we are having and Indian summer and I nod my head,but I don’t know what the hell it means. Why ‘Indian’? I feel so ignorantsometimes.
“E, why is this called an Indian summer?”
She’s not listening.

Blue never means sadness for me... it means renewal, pure, focused energy...like the ocean or the very bright blue center of a flame.
I have no idea why it's called Indian Summer. Hrmmm...
Hope you had a lovely New Year's Eve, Jonas :) Here's to a great 2010.
Gorgeous photo...what kind of camera do you use?
Grey is a sad colour for me...it's like nothingness.
I love the photo! The details are exceptional.
yeah. i also wonder why is it call indian summer..
nice photo:)
Somehow I managed to find a face in that photo.
I don't know why I do that with everything but I do.
Even the face seems confused.
How appropriate x
I also never think of blue as sad...I agree with Phoenix. Many of the things that inspire me are blue...the sky on a glorious day, the ocean always...it's inspiring and refreshing and motivating.
When I think of sadness, in terms of a color, I immediately see gray.
