name that blue.

sydney is a city painted blue- blue everywhere. i am running out of ways to describe all of blues that make up my daily landscape here.

i can't talk enough about the sky- the brilliantly clear azure sky, the hazy white-blue sky, the eternal cobalt big top that billows over this city. the sky goes on forever. the blue of it is enough to break your heart. honestly. it is that perfect.

when i was on the bus across the bridge today the water colouring the harbour was the most brilliant indigo. blue like the crayola blue of a kindergarten seascape. finger paint blue. irresistibly blue. sapphire if you're fancy. the people who make up names for paint colours must come to sydney when they're naming blues (big sur, wisteria, calypso).

the city buses. the school uniforms. the flags. the denim shorts. the eyes. blue blue blue blue blue.

perfect.

the view from balmoral beach. just a little blue.
