But it is so much more than those labels.
Look again. Can you see the colours?
No? Then can you see the non-colours?

This photo looks like something. But it is something else I took it sitting at an outside table at a pub in a busy place. There are cars and rubbish and advertising signs and lots of people and noise. And there are way more than three trees just out of frame.
