iPhriday – Keeping the Colour

Hello everyone!

I feel like I have been away for so long! I have been super busy with work and also sick – not sure what’s wrong, we’re looking into it.

But I missed you guys and thought I would share this photo with you – I snapped it outside the doctor’s office yesterday.

Given that it’s an iPhone shot, I thought it was well-suited to Lisa’s iPhriday event.


This is one of Mebourne’s iconic trams. Just a regular tram. I would usually post shots like this in black and white but I couldn’t resist the wonderful colours in this frame.

Here’s what it would look like in black and white:

I hope you’re all doing well and I’m looking forward to catching up with you all soon.

    Hi Desley,
    I’m sorry to hear you have been unwell. I hope you get it sorted and are well soon.
    I love the full-on colour in the photograph – so vivid. I’m not so keen on the black and white.

      Thanks Norah, I appreciate that. The b&w is a little boring by comparison.

    Wow! That’s the best shot I’ve seen from anyone for some time. I love the colours, the composition, the fingers, the editing, the imagination to see it and the speed to capture it – everything.

    Hope you’re soon feeling better. x

    The coloured version certainly looks better than the black and white version. The coloured version is lovely; it actually has so many colours in it!
    You mentioned in your blog post that you’re sick. How are you now?

    I wondered where you were. I’m very sorry you have a doctor’s certificate to explain absence! I hope all is well now. Health is so vital to … everything.

      Oh thanks Meg. I’m doing ok. I’m back in Brisbane for a week of work (and two weekends!). Both times I’ve come back here I’ve come down with a cold. Last time was bronchitis, thankfully this time is not so bad. Beautiful city this one!
