There's a challenge! I may come back and rewrite my comment if I get inspiration. I used to get my pupils to describe paintings as if they were taking a blind friend round the gallery, but this requires something more spiritual maybe.

Great shot Bill, would be hard to describe to some one that hasn't seen colour...

Yep and I guess even explaining colours must be hard. To someone who has never had sight, the idea of colour must be so foreign. Great photo mate.

What a gorgeous shot, Bill! Now, that would be an almost impossible task. I've wondered about that before - how do you describe the beauty of a sunset, or a cherry tree in full bloom, or even a pretty face to someone who has never seen one? Sometimes we really need to stop and be thankful for the things we take for granted....

I have comtemplated this question before and came to the conclusion that I would instead try to draw the image, perhaps on their back, and employ different finger motions to represent different colors while explaining that the differences in color to us are a bit like the differences in touch to them. Though I have drawn pictures on backs, I've not had any opportunity to try this with a blind person.

This is absolutely beautiful Bill. Rare in that area, but it sure looks fantastic when it happens.

...like to swing on a star, carry moonbeams home in a jar, and be better off than you are..... Stellar mauve effects in this spectacular image, Bill. The reflection and texture of the water is superlative.

A wonderful capture of this beautiful sunset. Almost impossible to describe colour to someone who is blind I would think but I guess you could liken it to warm water flowing across the sky.

Difficult to describe magic to those who do not know! Wonderful scene , Bill ! Fantastic atmosphere !

That would be very hard to do Bill. Maybe point them in the direction of the sun so they would feel the warmth on their face and describe the colors as different textures so they might relate the different colors as textures. Now I have a headache from thinking to much. LOL!! This is a wonderful and very beautiful photo!!!

This is a beautiful sunset capture Bill. Lovely colors but I couldn't imagine how you could describe it to a blind person. My wife, Jo, has a combination of Macular degeneration and Histoplasmosis. It ties me in knots trying to explain what she can’t see. Thank God that she remembers sunrises and sunsets because there is no way I could describe them from scratch. Dana

What a wonder! It is not easy to describe such beauty also for those who see... the spectacle of nature is breathtaking! How to describe it to a blind person? This is very difficult, especially for those who is blind from birth!
