Icebergs are the perfect symbol of life. Only a small portion of who we are is visible to the world, while the vast majority remains hidden and undiscovered.

This is a very close up image of a beautiful iceberg. The shapes and the blues are mind blowing in person.

Vandyke print onto HPR,

MT12 Cobalt toner setting: 12+8+7+4+ad450ml 2 mins,

MT7 4+2+4+2+450ml 45 secs,

Lead acetate toner about 1% sol.15 secs.

The Iron toner starts in the lights, after 20 secs the shadows are still red, but a longer time is necessary in order to get a little more than the desired density. The following lightly alkaline Lead solution acts as a slicer, it removes the cyan colour from the shades and turns the lights to a brighter and more bluish tone.

Better known as Blue Primulas,

Very floriferous and vigorous, Primula 'Belarina Cobalt Blue' is a short-lived, semi-evergreen perennial forming a rosette of bright green leaves, topped with sturdy stems bearing large, fragrant, rich blue, double flowers...

"The deeper the blue becomes, the more strongly it calls man towards the infinite, awakening in him a desire for the pure and, finally, for the supernatural... "

- Wassily Kandinsky

“If you see a tree as blue, then make it blue.”

- Paul Gauguin

“In 1984 Gurudeva planted 108 trees with his own hands. He dedicated this forest to pilgrims and all Kauaians, inviting them to sit among the sacred trees to rest, meditate, have a picnic or tell stories to their children. Today the trees are fifty feet tall and produce hundreds of thousands of fruits each year. The English name is Blue Marble tree, since the one-inch diameter fruits are a rare cobalt blue. Their unusual color was written about in a Scientific American article. It seems there are two, and only two, living species on the Earth that create color using refraction and not reflection: a deep-sea crustacean and Eleocarpus ganitrus, the Rudraksha tree. Underneath the blue skin is a thin layer of flesh which is edible, but not too tasty. In Ayurveda, Rudraksha seeds, ground with healing herbs, are given to patients of heart disease to strengthen the cardiac muscle. The wood is also unusual. Almost white in color, it is said to have been the wood of choice in World War I for making airplane propellers; and in India the trees practically became extinct when they were chosen as the timber for railroad ties.”

While in Whistler recently, I saw this row of rental e-bikes. And as I had my Oreston lens on my camera, I thought I could get lots of bike bokeh with the lens wide open. Shot at f1.8.
