Steel floor of the Isle aux Coudres ferry boat, only a Ukrainian might appreciate.

... or somebody from the 'Peg. Nice contrast matey! Didnt realize you had the colour challenge, as your work is generally spectacular - I would have never known.

Colours have to be bright and saturated to "impress me much" (like the Shanya Twain song, you know). What I see is totally beautiful, even if I can't name the exact colours of what I see. I never tried painting as the results would certainly look "weird" to normal-vision people but I trust my cameras (set to the VIBRANT colour palette) to show the true colours of the universe around me as they would see it for themselves. I have become good at "hiding my condition" as I never venture forward to identify or discuss colours in front of others. OTOH, I'm lucky in a sense, I have this talent, I SEE things most people don't in their daily life.

Thank you for your kind words of appreciation

Very nice color composition. Striking and vivid.

Without reading my first impression was Ukrainian flag. Great color combination.

Exactly ! My son-in-law is Ukrainian. His grandmother fled the "Stalin famine" and found refuge in Canada. His grandfather passed away in a Siberian camp. I knew and appreciated very well his parents who were both Ukrainians. I learned about their culture and mostly, their eating habits. His father once told me "Chto lat !", I think it means "Live to be 100". When I visited them, he often offered me a glass of spirits, saying "We will never see each other this young ever again, let's drink to that !" He was an adorable man.

Regards

That's what I was thinking and I recognized it right away...I'm from the 'Peg.

Cool - I grew up there... and there's some Ukrainian blood somewhere in my family tree. If I could only get the good perogies...

It's a "SMALL WORLD", isn't it ...

Travel I'm sure this is yellow and blue. A gift for my Ukrainian friends.
