D.O.P.-T. (yesterday)

According to an article on color to which the ljshootout community linked, people don't notice what color the sky actually is. That's bizarre. The intense blue here repeatedly surprises me: it's more of a Chartres blue than a sky blue. In Kansas, the summer sky tended to be a preternaturally clear blue, like water. In England, cloudless blue skies are rare, and they are robin's egg blue, or baby blue, so to me that is "sky" blue. But I rarely see such a pale color any more, except at dawn. And then there's the shading effect, with the lower sky being whiter, presumably from haze, so that the high sky looks like pooled glaze. And the reverberations from adjacent colors. And the multifarious colors of clouds, including the faint high diaphanous ones that you can hardly see . . .
