Blue Monday?

Today, thanks to the marriage of dodgy science and successful marketing, is supposedly Blue Monday, the most depressing day of the year.
Well, thankfully the only thing blue about my Monday was this beautiful clear blue sky.

Such a blue sky is unusual in your part of the world at this time of year. I particularly like how the branches appear to be reaching up to grasp the Sun. I'm not sure how dodgy the science actually is with so many people returning to work around this time of year after a Christmas/New Year break. Given that many of us feel at best ambivalent about our jobs it's understandable that there would be a certain amount of depression involved. That having been said, I worked through the entire "holiday" period, which is probably more depressing than anything else.

Pretty appropriate for a truly "blue" Monday! Gorgeous sky and light setting the tree off. V.

I'm so glad that I've managed to live without realising anything at all about a "Blue Monday" effect, until this year. I'll stick with blue as a colour for the sky as you had here. Lovely sight for a winter day.

A gorgeous solid blue sky. A lovely image. V

That beautiful blue sky would life anyone's spirits. I like the tree in the frame to set it off. V.

We should all reach for the blue. I heard about blue Monday too late in the day to get mopey. Maybe next year ;0)

I haven't heard of Blue Monday, but I must say I like your blue sky shot. V
