Thanks Roy and Amey for helping out with the name.

@ Maura : Thanks Maura, I agree whole-heartedly with you concerning the difficulty of capturing white in photos and still retain different shades of the the other colours. I wish I had the time to try to take more pictures incorporating the qualities you suggested but these few days have been really hectic - what with my second son's visit home together with his wife and my 2 delightful grand daughters, and packing and getting ready to go to Hong Kong to visit my eldest son on 19 Dec.
