  1. What a great entry for the theme Martin ,Nice shot 🙂

    1. Thank you Jake 🙂

  2. I need to put my thinking cap on. All I’ve come up with so far was a song … by somebody else. :(. You’ve come up with some interesting takes on ‘blue’ … so appropriate. I love that blue door. Beautiful!

    1. Thanks Marcy – Joni Mitchell’s Blue album and Status Quo’s Blue for You did come to mind and I bet your Blue song was neither of those 😉

      1. You’ll have to drop by and find out. 🙂 But so far, you’re right. You can scratch ‘The Moody Blues’, too. 🙂 See you soon, I hope. 🙂

  3. Especially like the blue door in the last shot!

    1. Thanks – That blue does sing out in the equatorial sun. We don’t normally get such rich blues in the UK 🙂

  4. just loved the blue door….
    the picture is a winner!

    1. Thank you Sheetal – I wasn’t totally happy with the composition but it seems that the people like it so I guess it’s about right 😉 I hope you are keeping well:-)

  5. Blue sky, blue sea, blue door… This picture is beautiful. Wingate & Finchley’s jersey color is blue; so I am hoping that blue must be your favorite color. 🙂

    1. Thanks Arindam 🙂 I probably don’t have a favourite colour. I love the green of the leaves on the trees, the red on a London bus and the blue on my team’s shirt… and just about any colour in between. I guess it’s a matter of context about whether I like a colour – if it’s a green Hendon FC shirt I hate it 😉

  6. terrific…love the first one, and the second…oh and the door. Heck I love them all

    1. Jo – nice to hear from you and I owe you a visit! Glad you liked the photos 🙂

    Love the blue door. Where does it lead?

    1. Out to the sea as befits a blue door… The building is a ruin 🙂

        Very cool.

  8. All wonderful.
    But should have expected that first shot, Up the Blues!
    🙂

    1. LoL – thanks Judith 🙂 The team finished mid-table so it was a successful first season at the higher level.

  9. Great entry, the blue door is stunning, the footie one made me laugh and I love the Blues and Royals one. xxx Ailsa

    1. Thank you Ailsa 🙂

  11. Martin, what a great collection of UK blues! That blue door to Tenerife is so inviting . . . . 🙂

    1. Isn’t it just Patti 🙂

  12. You must have been thrilled by the theme for this weeks challenge, Martin!
    As we are by your entries, of course!
    🙂

    1. LoL Bob – yes… Come on you Blues 🙂

      1. I don’t know if I’ve told you this before or not, but the professional hockey team in St. Louis is called the Blues, too, Martin! Kind of interesting!
        🙂

      2. You hadn’t, so thanks for the info Bob 🙂 Any chance of a photo or two of them?

      3. I wish I had a few to share, Martin! Maybe some day!
        🙂

  13. Lovely entries! I especially like the last one. Those blues are stunning. 😉

    1. Thanks AD – it’s that glorious near-equatorial sun making the blues sing out 🙂

  14. Exciting and fun. The third is my favorite. Like a door leading to paradise…”Blue Sky, Blue Sea, Blue Door.” Cool post my friend!

    1. Thank you – Sadly it is the only bit of paradise left in the overtly tourist targetted southern Tenerife.

  15. This is a great action photograph my friend
    and I hope that you are enjoying your photography 🙂
