Olympian confusion on Richmond cobbles......- # 352

Playing with the new Olympus E3 I accidentally took this strange photo of the cobbles along the riverside. The blue was the result of accidentally mixing two "White Balance" settings.

I found this quote in a learned German tome (Schmatz/Zobernig "Farbenlehre") on the subject of "Colour Theory".

.......Pythagoras wrote 6th Century B.C.
"Bodies have a surface. Colour. Colours have a gender. White, Black, Red, Yellow. The surface is the exterior of the body. Their exteriors differentiate animals from each other. The differences lie in food, the environment where they live, and the different latitudes under the heavens that they inhabit. That is what determines the multitudinous differences in their natures. The mixing of the elements results in the mixing of the colours. Touch the surface and deep down the colour rubs off. It’s one and the same thing. One thing follows the other in harmony. Like recognises like."
