 Kangaroo’s Paw Some of the best and most memorable natural learning expereinces we have had have been under a blue sky - outside, in the open, on a walk and talking, always lots of talking. The big blue skies we have in most parts of Australia are something we haven’t seen in other parts of the world we have visited. The sky has always been there, just not the same colour or intensity. The sky in St Ives, Cornwall has a strange intesntiy, something to do with the light. The skies over Paris in winter, pale, clean washed blue fter the rain. The skies over Brechin, Scotland, the cold icy blue after the snows blew in, perfectly framing the ruined castle; the hot dry blue skies over Morroco, the horizon fading in heat haze, turning everything a wobbly blue; Spanish blue skies are different again, espcially when on the trail of Luarie Lee and following the same routeas he did through the years of the civil war.
Then different again is the clear blue of the skies over the Alhambra in Spain, mixing the two cultres and histories into one.
