An interesting fact ;~} This is currently the most interesting photograph tagged with Bruges on the whole of Flickr! Wow and thanks to lthomas for pointing this out to me!
These stones are strewn everywhere by the river Sutlej, at Tattapani, near Shimla in India. A river originating in the Himalayas, it has washed over these stones for ages giving these a very smooth surface and wonderful round / oval shape . With beautiful colours these stones catch ones eyes immediately. This is a random shot, the stones were not collected for photography.

Hopefully the Gordon Lightfoot fans will get the song title reference. This image sat around for awhile because I was unsure of what to do with it. I tried to tweak the colours at first but I didn't really like how it came out. Now after mulling over it for awhile I went with the black and white conversion. I knew it would work out well because of how blue the sky was in the original image. Adding adjustments like burning was incredibly easy since the telephone pole has sharp edges. Overall I am quite pleased with how this image came out. Images like this are the reason I never get rid of any photos I take. Even though not many photos are salvageable, when you sit on the image and tweak it over the course of a few months you can get a result that you never expected after taking the image.

Since it's Super Bowl Sunday, I'll put it out there that I'm going for Denver to win the Super Bowl tonight! Hopefully that doesn't sway your opinion of this image!
This beautifully preserved Victorian home in San Francisco is a vibrant example of the city’s architectural heritage. Painted in deep blue, with ornate accents of gold, red, and green, this residence is a masterclass in Victorian craftsmanship. The intricate detailing around the windows and cornices reveals the delicate handwork of the era, with floral motifs and decorative molding that harken back to the late 19th century.
The curved bay window on the left side of the house is an iconic feature of San Francisco’s Victorians, allowing natural light to flood the interior while creating a visual centerpiece for the façade. The overhanging cornice, adorned with intricate brackets and a balustrade, adds to the home’s grandeur. The combination of colors—blue, gold, green, and red—creates a striking visual contrast against the clear sky, emphasizing the home’s opulence and meticulous restoration.
Situated on a quiet, tree-lined street, the home’s front garden is framed by a pair of lush green trees, adding to the vibrant color palette of the setting. Cars parked on the street reflect the modern-day life of the neighborhood, while the historic charm of the house remains untouched. From the elaborately decorated entranceway to the precision of the roof’s shingles, this house is a stunning example of San Francisco’s iconic Victorian style.
Whether you’re an architecture enthusiast or a casual passerby, this house invites you to appreciate the grandeur of a bygone era, perfectly blended with the vibrancy of the city today.

Holi is celebrated as festival of colour in India and Nepal. People splash colour to each other to enjoy this day. Nepalese in Christchurch NewZealand also enjoyed this festival by offering colour to each other.

Gender and Color
Some authors use the modern associations between colors and genders as a way of determining gender in old paintings. There is much reason to believe, however that the blue-for-boys, pink-for-girls idea is a fairly modern one, even a 20th-century convention. Other colors such as the idea that wedding dresses must be white are fairly recent, many dating to the Victorian era.
Chronology
I'm not positive just when the color conventions for children developed. Despite the very strong modern color associations, available evidence suggests that it was not until well into the 20th Century that our modern pattern became fixed. Many such conventions were set during the Victorian era, but the modern gender associations with color does not appear to be one of them. While I have little information at this time, it is a subject I plan to pursue.
Specific Colors
The most widely held modern color convention is of course pink for girls and blue for boys. This association has not always been accepted and it appears to be a relatively modern one.
Blue
Blue was used for boys' charity school uniforms in the 17th Century. This was not because blue had any special significance, but in part because blue dyes, relatively easy to produce, were inexpensive. The Blue Coat schools are renowed to this day. Blue at times has been widely worn by girls. Some considered it more suitable for girls as it is a softer, more subdued color. Blue is also the color most associated with the Virgin Mary. In the Middles Ages, blue was often associated with true lovers and faithful servants. At the turn of the 19th Cenntury, blue was the preferred color for girls' waistbands on white Empire dresses.
Pink
HBC has noted pink used for children's clothes as early as the 18th century. We do not, however, yet fully understand the gender connotations. We have noted pink use in paintings and variety of observations. At one point pink was considered more of a boy's color, as a watered-down red, which is a fierce color) and blue was morefor girls. The associate of pink with bold, dramatic red clearly affected its use for boys. An American newspaper in 1914 advised mothers, "If you like the color note on the little one's garments, use pink for the boy and blue for the girl, if you are a follower of convention." [The Sunday Sentinal, March 29, 1914.] A woman's magazine in 1918 informed mothers, "There has been a great diversity of opinion on the subject, but the generally accepted rule is pink for the boy and blue for the girl. The reason is that pink being a more decided and stronger color is more suitable for the boy, while blue, which is more delicate and dainty, is pertier for the girl." [Ladies Home Journal, June, 1918] This undoubteldy strikes modern readers as very surprising indeed. Some sources suggest it was not until the 1940s that the modern gender associations with color became universally accepted.
Red
Laura Ingalls Wilder's in her Little House books talks in great detail about her upbringing in the 1870s-80s. Her blonde younger sister always had blue hair-ribbons and brunette Laura always had red, because apparently it was an accepted convention that blondes wore blue and brunettes red. I have tried to assess the colors in the hairbows worn by boys. Most appear to be white, but there are colored ones and some do appear to be red. A HBC reader tells us, "My Grandmother told me of time when Red dresses were a boys color and girls wore blue dresses girls. My whole life the boys' color was and still is blue.
