Excellent traffic lights capture and perspective!

Thanks, William.

I love the colour contrast between yellow and blue, John. I hope you have a great new week. Kindest regards, Joe

Thanks, Joe, and the same to you.

A good composition and quite an array of lights.

Thanks, George. The City of Toronto loves traffic lights.

Big City Lightshow ! Another nice candid, John !

Thanks, Ulrich. Tronto is addicted to traffic lights.

Well captured John. Great colours
Have a good week

Thsnks, Carol, and the same to you.

For me, this is a window into an very different world of bright blue/yellow vibrant, contrasting colours. It made me think of a Wallace Stevens poem: ‘On the Surface of Things’:

‘In my room, the world is beyond my understanding;
But when I walk I see that it consists of three or four
hills and a cloud.’

Or, as here, poles, bricks, yellow lights, wires like the strings on a blue guitar. Things exactly as they are, yet…heightened? The seeing engenders a lighter sense of being. Perhaps this is what the walking photographer seeks and, by happenstance or with deliberation, seeks to capture and convey.

In other words, I quite like it, I do.

Thank you very much, Steve. Your comments and the quotation from Stevens clarifiy why I have all those photos in my Everydayland album. Thanks again. I'm not familiar with that particular poem but -- honest -- I have a collection of his poems on my phone and will look it up.

Speaking of blue guitars, "The Man with the Bluw Guitar" has a highly interesting related theme. Some friends of mine and I recorded (for circulation among ourselves) an extract from "The Man with the Blue Guitar" (starting with "Am I a man that is dead"), with a punk arrangement and sensibility.

"I have a collection of his poems on my phone" -- why, when I was a boy if I'd said that everyone would have thought I was newly arrived from Mars.
