August 2012 PAD Green

[chenchena]

Lets go Green this month
Green is a colour. In the subtractive colour system, it is not a primary colour, but is created out of a mixture of yellow and blue, or yellow and cyan; it is considered one of the additive primary colours.
The colour Green is the most restful and relaxing colour to the eye optically because of its spectral wavelength.
Culturally, green has broad and sometimes contradictory meanings. In some cultures, green symbolizes hope and growth, while in others,
it is associated with death, sickness, envy, or the devil, or both, depending on the context.
Green is also associated with regeneration, fertility and rebirth for its connections to nature.
The most universal meanings of green are strongly associated with nature. In today's world, we have become increasingly concerned with preserving our planet ecologically.
Green colour meanings have become closely tied with this trend.
We have the 'Green Revolution', 'Going Green' and 'Green Energy' ‘Green Political Parties” to name only a few.

Lets be creative and colour this month Green in all aspects of the spectrum.

A few rules / guidelines for the challenge:
Please do not dip in your archives; the world around you is full with green!
Don’t forget to leave comments for other participants in the challenge. No posting only please, the challenge is about having fun and camaraderie, and to learn from other participants, so check out the images other participants post and comment on at least some of them.
