starlight7 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 That’s Melbourne, especially the city areas. When you go up to Queensland you notice the difference. What are the colours in your city? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARYROSE02 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 After a few minutes contemplation about the colours of Sydney roofs (rooves?) as seen from a plane - red, marroan (sic), ochre I started singing "Colours" by Donavan. What is the colour of nostalgia? Turquoise? Mellow Yellow?! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydney is all about red terracotta roofs, deep blue sky, mauve jacarandas. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARYROSE02 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 The jacarandas are biding their time before they display their finery, not unlike bluebells in the way they are almost invisible for 10 months of they year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Invisible maybe but the seem to drop crap for most of the year! In our last place a neighbours jacaranda overhung our drive and made a right mess! Was lovely when it flowered though..I forgave it. Then the driveway turned purple and the broom came out again! I do love driving down the streets lined with them in the city and Eastern suburbs of Adelaide though. Very few in the Hills, probably too cold in winter. Adelaide also has lovely golden sandstone buildings and lots of green against blue skies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marisawright Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 (edited) I am loving living in Melbourne but the colour palette is undeniably depressing. If it wasn't for the blue sky, I'd think I was back in Aberdeen! Edited July 20, 2019 by Marisawright 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three songs about colour actually, although I only knew two of them - Mellow Yellow & Colours. When I Googled his hits I found there was another - Turquoise - a minor hit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlight7 Posted July 23, 2019 Author Share Posted July 23, 2019 We have a Jacaranda in the garden but it is not a patch on the ones you see in NSWales I have to admit. Must be the wrong climate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
