I always think that images that contrast Blue and Yellow work particularly well, like the image of a newly painted warehouse above, even though theory says the Blue – Orange is a true complimentary colour pairing.

In the Deep Wood
It’s Saturday. The country park is busy; I get the last parking space. People are not abroad sunning themselves on beaches, or going en-masse to shopping malls: cinemas and sports clubs are shut. But they can come to the parks and many have done so.
