Blue Cobblestones (again)

2009.11.23
Canon G9, 1/320th Second, F4.0, ISO 80, handheld, Auto White Balance. Only sharpened for screen, and branded. Straight out of the camera otherwise.

I couldn't stay away. Several days ago I posted a horizontal image of similar blue tinted cobblestones. This past week I went back to the alley and photographed them again as I'm intrigued by the shapes, the way they've chipped, and their blue tint. How did they become blue? Were they painted? Which foundry in Philadelphia did this wonderful work? I love them. The blue to me is like a "robins egg blue". I shot this one with the sun hitting them, as opposed to my previous post which was done in mild shade.
Enjoy

soubhagya Very nice textures.., some times it is strange to realise that day to day things form better subjects than 'that special thing' that u will be looking for!

SADHYA Lovely Jorge. I especially like the way that nature has moved in to what seems like an inhospitable enviroment, and there are a number of tiny plants and mosses living between the cobbles.
