As a child I always preferred silver over gold for its understated beauty and its lack of being tarnished with any colour.
Oh how things have changed with the burnt yellow-gold of a sunset on the water becoming my most favourite colour.
Silver still lingers in the whites and greys of the twilight surf but that gold on stranger tides has my heart now.
