Good morning, Linda
The contrasts in this are simply stunning! Superb blues and wonderful composition. I would have a hard time resisting these in a store, that’s for sure. Good thing you were on your motorbikes :)

Linda the backlighting certainly enhanced the glass pieces, rich blues, the item on the far right looks like a tropical fish (looking up) lol
Hey if you had sddlebags, some of that blue could be in your window!
Nice attention to the detail and colors in this

Linda the temperatures you descrivbe are beyond my comprehension. How do you have energy left to do something at all. But I can see that visiting such a shop can revive you - love shops like this - although blue is not my colour, I love the effect of the light playing through the glass. (for me 1000 colours will do ^-^).
Now suppose I see something beautiful, the of course I have to travel by car......, good thing then that you were on your motorbike.

Hi Linda,

The lights are special here. Backlighting adds the mood.
The tones are great, and the concept framed well.
Just think of a light , falling in the foreground object on the left.. and that would make a big difference in frame..
Thank you for the share, and I wish you many more happy rides through Texas..
Enjoy !!

Hiya Linda

I just love this one... of course its my favourite colours but the light and detail is also good, nicely composed and captured my friend.. an I couldnt help but notice you cracked the 30,000 mark. I know points are not what its all about but its still an amazing feat that shows true dedication here and worth mentioning and congratulating on

TFS regards Helen

Hi Linda,

Blue happens to be my favorite color. Brilliant "sky blue"..preferably seen from a plane! I too like blue in my decorating. I have a lot of blue and white in my kitchen. This is very nice the way the lighting is shining through the blue glassware. Every time I look at the photo I see something I hadn't noticed before.

Blue also brings me peace. A peaceful shot! Thanks Linda. Lisa

Hello Linda
A nice collection of old / blue items.. I like the low light coming in the window! No distractions either from the window.. focus is all on the lovely glass..

Hi Linda,
Against the light through the window, these beautiful cobalt blue glasses looks so rich and gorgeous! I like the way you managed the lighting without overexposition.
Very nicely done! Annie

Backlighting well captured on the blue glass including the fish on the right. Interesting stuff in those places. Riding your motorcycle prevents bringing home large things from those shops.

Hi Linda: I like the colors and arrangement in this picture. As to your note: I have long suffered under heat stress at work, and as a safety rep I found what worked for me (and my fellow workers) was a cooling vest, described here. It workes the same way as you said about soaking your vest in water, except that the weave retains moisture for several hours. Tested and guaranteed by me!
Cheers

hello Linda
hope you are geting better each day.

So you are an antique collector too. very nice hobby to go along with.
i have just finished all my smileys for the day but before winding up i must write something for this shot, this is a nice composition of blue crystel/glass. the light is just perfect to highlight the outer area of the glass.
superb contrast.
nice POV

i too have bought some entiques from an old store here in India. hope to share pictures with you all.

thanks for sharing this.

I love the blues Linda. I once had a collection of various bottles in just this colour, unfortunately travelling acrosss Australia with my possessions most were broken. Good colour and light and lovely semi silhouettes,
