...blue realities...










Sheffield centre: Cathedral and near by...
Some observation and shoots of ordinary-every-day-things can reveal the actual beauty and meaning of those tiny moments... Different actions and thoughts under the rain cover, some waterproof equipment or even a label provide a private shield by drawing a broader border line around the peoples' comfort zone...

They fight to suppress their gestures and body language but hopefully they can't... The bad weather conditions and the common shelter provoke the social instincts to generate communication without the modern social conventions and rituals!
