The Colours of White - Photography by Sarah Myers

Jasmine White
Sarah Myers, Photography

What are the colours of white? The pure scent of the jasmine blossom, the billowing shoulders of an unstained cloud; the pearl-cold, pearl-small dot of the moon among the palm-fronds; the delicious ivory of a new rose; that burst of exultant happiness, the Star of Bethlehem flower; the frail lace of an apricot bloom which is the delight of an eager bee. Here are many tints of white, the colour without shadow.

Roses and Rainstorm - Photography by Sarah Myers

Roses After Rainstorm, Sarah Myers

A moment after the last glittering rain has fallen, rose blooms sway against the sky, drinking the cool air and the bright water. It is a glimpse of a gentle magnificence, refreshing the mind...

The Evening Cloud - Photography by Sarah Myers

Tumult
Sarah Myers, Photography

    One immense cloud-bank spread its towers across the South-eastern sky as the sun went down opposite. Scaling the clear, empty desert night, the cresent moon looked backward at these monarchs of water and air, who took the form of a fantastical surf, a radiant bastion of remaining day, a crowd of staring faces, an ethereal fog of cold blue and pearl-pink. At last the clouds disappeared in the rising night, save for an occasional, sullen flash of lightening.  The moon continued on its way, growing brighter and lonelier and stronger. But the night remains only in the imagination, while the clouds and the last of the sun left their glory, in some small way, in this collection of pictures.

      Except for cropping and my signature, there is no edit on these pictures. They are what the camera saw.

Simple Roses and Sky - Photography by Sarah Myers

Simple Rose, Arch and Sky

Returning from a walk in my sister's rose garden, the radiance of these roses against the sky persuaded me to create a post dedicated to their grace. They are simple, open blooms because of the warmth and light, the late summer brightness you see surrounding them.

The Clouds - Photography by Sarah Myers

The Many Clouds
Photography, Sarah Myers

 While the earth of the desert twinkles monotonously and changelessly mile after mile, with gravel and the dark network of dry creosote bushes, the sky stretches over it a reign of overwhelming, unshakable but temperamental power. And on those days when into the intense and endless blue sail the giants of the sky - the desert thunderheads - it is as if a mighty, unknown world has opened out above, with its own language of wind, light and space. We small strangers peer upward into the next sphere...
