A Warmer Shade of Pale

550 Silver Spur Dr., August 2009
In looking for a photo with some color, I decided on these taken last summer of a business building on a breezy, early evening. Other views of the same structure can be seen B&W, and sepia.Looking up at 550 Silver Spur, August 2009

The title just rang so true to me, and of course got me thinking of the Procol Harum song "A Whiter Shade of Pale", the lyrics of which I just looked up. And beside liking the title, and the lyrics using words like fandango, and the song being in The Commitments movie, I realized that I liked the song for the Hammond organ line was inspired by my most favorite of Bach's cantatas "Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme". While I am on the subject of organ music, check out "Louis La Vache" SF Bay blog and Father Adam's Monastery Daily.
