Beautiful Monday  by bkbinthecity

Beautiful Monday

So today is Blue Monday. I have never really understood why this particular day is supposed to be the saddest day of the year.
I decided to take a picture that showed how beautiful it is.
I found a spot looking out on Edmonton's river valley. The weather was wonderful the sky was blue and the valley is very scenic.
It all adds up to a very beautiful Monday
Not a bad Monday here!! Always look on the bright side if you can find it 😄

Beautiful! I haven’t heard of blue Monday.

Beautiful, looks like this blue Monday is very uplifting, sunshine makes a lot of difference
January 19th, 2021  
Maybe when people used to go to work :)

Never heard of blue Monday, must be a northern hemisphere thing, must Google it

It refers to the debt that hits the credit card bills after Christmas and the lack of money in January.

Lovely blue shot.

Fav. I don't see any difference from other days. The blues depend on one 's state of mind. Gorgeous capture and scenery. It could take away anybody's blues.
January 19th, 2021  
It certainly is beautiful. Great shot.
January 19th, 2021  
So lovely and peaceful
January 19th, 2021  
Beautifully blue, looks very cold too

Blue Monday ... just after the anticipation and excitement of the holidays, during shorter days with less sunshine where the Christmas bills come in. It is easy to see why some people find it depressing.
I did not find it too bad this year but some years are really depressing.

Lovely shot and scenery, love all the shades of blue.
January 19th, 2021  
It’s lovely!
January 19th, 2021  
Wonderful view!
January 19th, 2021  
What a nice shot of Edmonton - you got in the elements of nature by the river, the downtown core and the industrial core - all on a sunny wintery day. Edmonton certainly has its beauty even on a blue Monday in January!
January 19th, 2021  
That looks like a beautiful day
January 19th, 2021  
A lovely view along the valley!

I love your take on Blue Monday and how you've flipped it to show there is beauty and light.

January 19th, 2021  
Fresh and crisp...splendid! Be sure you wrap up well.
January 19th, 2021  
A lovely view of your city. A let down after all the Christmas and other holidays bustle. Probably seen more in the northern hemisphere with people closed up due to the cold weather. But then, you know all that.
January 19th, 2021  
Beautiful at any day and weather sicumstances.
January 19th, 2021  
Looks like a gorgeous Monday in Edmonton!
January 20th, 2021  
Our TV weatherman said it was the halfway point of the winter for us. Maybe that is depressing to some people.
January 20th, 2021  
Beautiful is much better than Blue. In this context, as I’m a big fan of the colour blue.
January 20th, 2021  
Nice Capture
January 20th, 2021

Beautiful scene. There is no Blue Monday in Poland. Instead, we have Shoemakers' Mondays as a sign of an unsuccessful beginning of the week.
