Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #98 – Delicate Colors – Part 2

[Categories: Photography, Photography 101 Forever]

The Lens-Artists Challenge is hosted this week by Leya/Ann-Christine.

Says she: “I thought we would indulge in some Delicate Colours! They are everywhere in nature, but also to be found anywhere you look, in for example fashion, art and architecture.”

She did mention architecture. That immediately reminded me of what I consider to be one of my super-lucky right-place/right-time photos, the Bayeux Cathedral, Bayeux, France, home to the famous ELEVENTH-century Bayeux Tapestry (narrative embroidery?)

We were visiting the town and tapestry while on a WWII ‘follow in their footsteps’ battlefield tour for the 104th Infantry Division, ‘The Timberwolves’. We had been to the Normandy Beaches, Omaha et al, 25km away.

It had been raining in Bayeux. It must have been afternoon, because as the clouds broke, the sun shone on the cathedral in the direction we were facing. The streets were still damp, a faint rainbow attempting to display behind the church. DELICATE.

An old mill near the cathedral now has delicate flowers adorning the walls:

Stay safe be well.

Kudos to the tireless leaders of the weekly Lens-Artists challenge.

General Weekly Challenge info from Tina:

“Each Saturday at noon EST we will publish a photo challenge similar in form to the now-defunct WPC. If you choose to participate, please make sure to tag your post with the name of our group LENS-ARTISTS so that all of the responses can be found together in the WP Reader. Please also include a link to the challenge moderator’s post. One of our 4 moderators will host the challenge each week.”
