wind-blue

Updated: June 7, 2025

Blue sky at the far horizon rich deep blue overhead a dark-brown blue deep yonder in the gorge among the trees. I feel a sense of blue colour as I face the strong breeze; the vibration and blow of its force answer to that hue, the sound of the swinging branches and the rush rush in the grass is azure in its note; it is wind-blue, not the night-blue, or heaven-blue, a colour of air.
