Wonderful gallery! I love how you bring your ideas to life. Beautiful work!

I've been to your galleries many times over the last year. Now I'm a full member too and have come back to actually vote and see your wonderful works once again. This Blue one has always been one of my fave. Chris :)

I love this one! I have a " blue obsession" gallery too. voted

I finally assembled my blue gallery, then decided to separate out the man-made world from the natural world. Thus, I have two blue galleries. Still like yours better! Blue: http://www.pbase.com/bbellngr/blue Blue, naturally: http://www.pbase.com/bbellngr/naturalblue

I have been assembling images for a blue gallery. Seeing yours I am now not as confident in many of my images! This is an exceptional gallery. You have used the color blue to create a mood rather than just presenting images with "blue stuff in them" (as I have been doing, I fear.)

Very Cool!! Great winter gallery!

I see your Blue gallery is still growing. On the subject Blue, how about this one? http://www.pbase.com/image/28093710

vera		31-Jan-2004 03:10
Thanks for your mighty lovely message, PK! :-) and my apology for procrastinating my reply..."Everybody's talkin'" is one of my favourites, too, although it does not make its way to my "favourites of my favourites of the TBS songs" list. ;-) I finally managed to get hold of a copy of their latest album "Gaze", and I love it! :-) As for your request in the message... don't worry, I will try my best to make certain that it is the latter that turns out to be the one and the only true one! :-) Thanks again, PK!! many cheers, Vera.

photokhan		10-Jan-2004 23:14
Do you know "Beautiful South" is also one of my favorite bands? :) :) :) This gallery is very, very good (along with all the other ones, I guess...) It transpires a strong view on things covered by a deceptive simplicity. One can see it is either the product of a transient young person or a young endearing spirit. My only request? That, as you grow older, you make sure the later is the true one and it stays lit forever, sustained by an ever increasing life portfolio. Kind of: �I'm going where the sun keeps shining Thru' the pouring rain Going where the weather suits my clothes Backing off of the North East wind Sailing on summer breeze And skipping over the ocean like a stone� (From a BS favorite of mine: �Everybody's Talkin'�) PK

Rodney		29-Dec-2003 02:06
I'm always amazed just how many blut things you have found.....quite great eye (or two! hahahaha) :)

Hi Rapunzel, Thanks for your compliments on my photos! :-) Yes, you may use any photos in my galleries as you wish. I would be very happy if you tell people where the photos are from, and also put a link to my page somewhere in your website. :-) :-) Happy Holidays (and to everyone that visits here, too)!!! :-) Vera.

rapunzel		22-Dec-2003 10:49
hey, your gallery is really great! in fact, i really like all of your galleries...and i was wondering if you could allow me to use a few of your pictures on my website...hope you won't mind. my site will be at www.geocities.com/punsai_17...i'm still working on it, though.

Lou Smith		10-Dec-2003 15:01
Seems to be a big hit this blue gallery, I can see why. Such a simple concept, so beautifully executed.

vera		23-Nov-2003 08:34
Jackie, thanks soooooooooooo much for sending me this enchanting, delightful speech you've made about our favourite colour!! :-) And yes indeed, everything under the clear blue sky looks exceptionally lovely, doesn't it? Vera. :-)

Jackie Cheung		20-Nov-2003 04:44
Hi,vera~nice to receive ur reply. i am a chinese girl, and when i was a middle school student, before our english lessons, we were asked to take a 5-mins speech. hehe~i find out my manuscript of my little speech "blue", let me show u. It is known that the sun gives us seven colours -- red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purepl and so on. Among the total, blue is my fabourite colour. Blue stands for the sky. Look! Outside the window, the weather is fine and the sky is blue like a mirror. Please try to imagine, now you are standing under the sky, the sun was shining on you then you looked into the sky to feel its blue. What do you feel? Warm? Soft? Relax? In my opinion, the sky is clear, the sun is bright and everything is lovely. Blue also means the sea. When you fail, the blue sea show you its vitality; when you feel restless, the blue sea wil calm you down; when you get some success, the blue sea will shown you its strong power. In a word, blue sometimes is cool and calim, sometimes is fresh and soft, sometimes it gives you power. But sometimes it can make you sad. I like blue, because it show me a complate world, an exciting world. I'm so sorry that there are so many grammatical and spelling mistake, but it is real my manuscript, i dont want to correct it.^-^ Thank you for giving me a chance to pick up my sweet memory!

Jackie Cheung		11-Nov-2003 04:49

marie		06-Nov-2003 07:23
I love blue, that color makes me happy. so your gallery filled with happiness. thanks for sharing.

vera		31-Oct-2003 02:22
Hi Christian, thanks for your visit & your compliment! :-) I created this gallery on 27th March, and most of the photos here were taken since then. It starts to become difficult by now finding blue subject matters, not to mention finding those with good lighting & standing against interesting background! ;-) cheers, Vera.

Christian Hadidjaja		30-Oct-2003 19:23
Superb!! I found this gallery is very soothing. Thank you for sharing. I wonder how long you took to compose all these photos... http://www.photo.net/photodb/member-photos?include=all&user_id=825571

thanks for visiting my gallery. the colour tone of ours are so different. I prefer warm colours. so blue is not my favourite but it becomes very attractive in your shots. if time permits, i wish i could keep shooting the colours of evening. like what you do in your galleries, i can explore the possiblities of using colours as the subject. thanks again.

Rodney		23-Oct-2003 16:02
Very cool and very very fun. I had no idea so much blue things existed. Let me guess...you like blue? :p

Panos E. Kazanelis		22-Oct-2003 13:11

What a wonderful concept--and so well-executed!! :-) Thanks for sharing it with us!!!

golfpic		06-Aug-2003 02:49
You have a nice blue gallery here. While we're on the theme "blue", how about a blue song: "Beautiful blue" by Holly McNarland.

alex		02-Aug-2003 08:46
beautiful! u've truly captured the spirit of blue.

Jal		31-Jul-2003 19:16
I keep on returning to this gallery. You chose a nice theme and your work is wonderful! Jal

vera		30-Jul-2003 19:15
Hi Sam, glad to be appreciated by another blue lover! :-) In response to your question, yes, Nikon Coolpix 4300, the camera that I use to take those photos, is 4.0 megapixels. However, I mostly use 1024x768 for my photos (including all those you see in this gallery). I only have a 10GB harddrive, so can't afford to have photos of higher resolution (and hence greater file sizes!). cheers, Vera :-)

Sam T		30-Jul-2003 17:42
Stunning! Beautiful shots for a beautiful theme. Blue is my favourite color. Thank you for sharing them. Are thse pics taken on a 4.0 Mega Pixel camera?

Apostolis Kalliakmanis		30-Jul-2003 08:03
Amazing! Wonderful! Very nice work.

ppacco		29-Jul-2003 07:05
Very clever gallery. Congratulations for your good taste!

guest		26-Jul-2003 21:39
I like the cool theme. You'll eventually come across some blue Delphiniums. They're hard to miss and quite a sight. It's a very rich, saturated blue. I know you will stop and take a picture :-)

Denise Dee		26-Jul-2003 16:32
lovely gallery. i'm sure you've heard that blue is the color of healing, and if you want something/someone healed to bathe them in blue light. which you are doing for us with these photos. thanks, denise

Marcin		18-Jul-2003 08:32
Interesting. Creative. Found it by accident - reviewing all these CP4300 pictures @ PBase(most of them terrible, make you loose faith in the cam) and suddenly, it's your gallery... So it is not the cam, it is the soul that "makes" pictures... Cam only TAKES them :) This one might suit your Blue Rapsody... http://www.pbase.com/image/18460500 Cheers, Marcin

Guest		17-Jul-2003 10:33
Vera, a splendid blue gallery!

vera		14-Jul-2003 21:37
Thanks for your comments, Ray. :-) I'm delighted that my gallery gives someone a pleasant surprise! Surprises add spices and enchant our lives - even unpleasant surprises ('coz what come after any unpleasant experience is always especially sweet!); but much more so if they are pleasant! ;-) Sorry for my philosophical mood (I'm working on an essay assignment for my PHIL course now). The only alternative to 'Blue is the Colour' is 'Little Blue' (a song title of the band). Yet it more easily leads to misunderstanding, hence my final choice. :-) cheers, v.

Ray :)		14-Jul-2003 21:02
Vera Your gallery is cool in more ways than one. Just goes to show how wonderful some everyday objects are. I was pleasantly surprised indeed. When I first read your intro and saw the words "Blue" and "band", I thought of another outfit instead of Beautiful South. What a relief! Ray

v v		29-Jun-2003 10:02
just my favorite colur!

Calvin		22-Jun-2003 07:47

miguel CANON_G3		29-Apr-2003 12:13
I love each and every photo in this gallery. These are much much better photographically and in quality than I could ever hope to come up with. Thank you very much for sharing.

Guest		13-Apr-2003 21:10
WOW! You where able 2 cath every thing i love about the color blue. Superbe gallerie and subject choise. Sorry for typo, I speak Qu�becquois.

Trance		03-Apr-2003 10:45
cool colour..

vera		29-Mar-2003 11:03
Hi Thomas! Same here, I was ecstatic that the gallery title caught attention of a fan of TBS out there! :-) Although I never get tired of listening to their previous albums, I certainly hope that they won't stop making new ones -- although Jacqui has already left the band, so chances are they won't make another album until they can find a new female vocal. You know they have an official website, do you not? Keep an eye on it, who knows, maybe they have already found the right substitute as we speak! :-) cheers, Vera :-)

Thomas		29-Mar-2003 04:13
Stunning!!!!!! I too am a Beautiful South fan. I saw your title and was mesmerized. I was even more intrigued by the fact that there are fans of this wonderful band still out there. Hope they release a new album soon!!!
