Week 19: Colour or Color?

It's colour with a "u" here in the UK.  Took this shot of an Orange amp while at an Alabama Shakes gig in Glasgow (of all places!).  Really up close and personal as it is a tiny venue and we were right up against the stage.  If you haven't heard them yet then check them out http://www.alabamashakes.com/video/
Orange is my son's favourite colour so this is dedicated to him.

Roll on next week.


Cheers,
Dot

Next week's theme is Sleep.

Week 18: Music

Music has a huge influence on many people's lives.  Certain songs or singers/bands conjure up loads of memories and often benchmark a particular time or event in their lives.  Since I met my Hubby in 2003 music has had a massive influence on my life as this is his PASSION!  It was music that took us to Nashville, TN this past week as we travelled from Scotland to see Van Halen in concert.  With all the concerts I have been to, it still sends shivers down my spine when I hear that one song - the one that I have heard hundreds or perhaps even thousands of times through a radio or music player - being played LIVE!  I love loads of different types of music and so had a little giggle to myself to think that on the Friday evening we were rocking out with Van Halen and on the Saturday evening we were sitting at The Grand Ole Opry listening to some classic country greats.
Til next week.

Ah, the California Celts! Based out of Yucca Valley, California they are one of my favorite bands. I haven't been to a show in a couple of years (sad I know) so I went back in my stash and pulled out this picture. They performed at the Irish Music Festival at Deer Valley in Park City, Utah. The Festival was awesome and these guys absolutely kicked ass! If you can, google the California Celts and get their album, trust me you will be toe tapping, hand clapping and grinning from ear to ear:).

Cheers!

Week 17: Technology

Hubby and I were on holiday to Nashville for a few days so I'm a bit late in posting this but glad I held off as I took these photos when we were away at Hatch Show Print.  Famous the world over for it's letterpress printing and a style that I absolutely love.  Every print is run through by hand (often a number of times if there is more than one colour).  Fascinating to watch and an excellent example of 15th Century technology.

Next week's pic is ready to post already and the theme is Music.  (Couldn't really be anything else when we've had a trip to Nashville).

Til then,
Dot

Week 17's theme is Technology and obviously, without my computer, I would not be able to do my job:).

Cheers!
