If you have ever seen the opening sequences of the splendid 1960 film Jazz on A Summer's Day you will recognise both the inspiration for, and the content of, this photograph I took during a walk around the yacht harbour at Puerto Benus a couple of weeks ago. The water was the most amazing colour and the reflections of the anchored yacht have had most of their harsher colours bleached out of them. And talking of jazz, I have a weekend at the Scarborough Jazz Festival planned. I know it is not Newport, but it is Yorkshire.
Beautiful image. We're watching Ken Burns' Jazz documentary, and it's delicious. Not as delicious as live jazz, but still tasty. Enjoy the festival.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful color..the water looks just dreamy:)
ReplyDeleteI didn't realise it was a yacht... thought at first it was a building. Must get the eyes fixed....
ReplyDeleteGorgeous image. I hope you'll enjoy the festival.
ReplyDeleteA lovely minimalist abstract photograph
ReplyDeleteHaven't seen the film - I will look out for it now. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteI have the DVD, Alan. Anita O'Day in full flight, and looking such a picture of elegance.
ReplyDeleteAh yes, I recognized the hommage; I've seen the movie many times. Great work, Alan!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot. Almost as blue as my now clean pool . . .c'mon Summer!
ReplyDeleteAlan...this is a work of art! I love it. It plays with the eye.
ReplyDeleteStunning photo!
ReplyDeleteLucky old you. I'll be heading South and will have to content my self with Philip Larkin's Jazz CDs in the car.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend.
