This was the first image that came to mind when I reflected on this challenge.
These organ pipes in the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona reflect a full spectrum of colours from the church’s gorgeous stained glass windows.
Here the major hues are a delicious lapis and turquoise blue.
Divine!
With my birthday in December, the month of turquoise, it seems fitting that the colours that most resonate with me are those depicted here.
And there’s just enough of the warmer shades to provide a sense of balance.
Blue is a spiritual colour. The colour of communication. The colour of the Throat Chakra.
As a writer and communicator this seems entirely appropriate.

Eyes to Heart 
So cool! I couldn’t tell what they were! Beautiful!
Thank you … I just about fell over when I saw the coloured light reflecting in these metal organ pipes. Just spoke to me so loudly. I didn’t mention that I am also musical. 🙂 … Thanks for stopping by … Be well, Dorothy 🙂
I hope you have it up on your wall!
I’m thinking about it … 😉
Get on it! Lol!
🙂 …
Beautiful color! It glows.
Thank you! I believe you’re right … 🙂

Wow, great colors! If you ever decide to print this, I’d definitely go with either metallic paper or on metal itself. It would look amazing.
Thanks, Jeff. I’d never thought of printing it, but it’s a cool idea. Metallic paper sounds interesting. 🙂
The 3-D quality of metallic paper is amazing. The only reason it’s not my paper of choice is because I’ve yet to find pen or marker that writes well on it. I sign all my prints, and the surface of the paper is so smooth that every marker/pen I’ve tried just beads up before it dries.
Where would a person have a print like this made? .. Perhaps there’s a way to emboss your signature …
I’ve had outstanding luck with Bay Photo,
http://www.bayphoto.com/ They are the lab that handles the printing for orders placed through my website.
In fact I do have a digital copy of my signature, the same one used in my watermark. It’s applied to all prints ordered through my website regardless of paper type. But for local sales I like to hand sign them. I feel it adds value to the print. I wish there was an easy way to hand sign everything, including website orders.
Thanks for the info, Jeff. I’ll check them out. My first foray into printing any of my images. 😉
Their ROES uploading software is free and easy to use, their prices are pretty good, on par with any of the other pro labs I’ve tried. Also, for what it’s worth, I go with “full color correction” when I order my prints. Though I calibrate my monitor, that’s the extent of my color management. They are way more knowledgeable about printing than I’ll ever be, and the prints have always been great. Lastly, the while the Kodak Endura Metallic paper is beautiful, the Fuji Crystal Pearl is worth the small price difference.
Thanks for the tip. I’ll keep it in mind … 🙂
