I think this is on the right track though I don't believe it is UV artifact. I think it is more likely that the paint pigments were reflecting back the intense blue light of the day. The use of the circular polarizer may have accentuated this effect. Kostas, you're in Greece, aren't you? Or in the Mediterranean basin anyway. The light there is intensely blue which will be reflected by most white surfaces and suggests the use of a warming filter. Peace! Sidney -- God said, Let there be light!
