I went looking through my travel photos for some vibrant color and of course I came up with
the most colorful ones from places in Africa, India, Thailand, Vietnam, Japan and
Western Australia.
It just seemed those particular countries were dripping with color, deep, rich, beautiful colors,
in the landscapes, the clothing, even the everyday things such as signs.
Unable to showcase more than three, it was a hard decision, but I picked these, all taken with
my Olympus SP-590UZ, set on auto most likely, and tweaked a bit with PicMonkey.

Hello Mary,
ReplyDeleteIndia is a country which calls to us time and time again and yet we have never visited. We do imagine it to be saturated with colour as your photographs show. One of our parents was born in India and so we feel a connection with its history.
Very colorful!
ReplyDeleteLovely!
Haha...I see that you doctored Donna's sign. My first thought was "I want one!" =D
ReplyDeleteRich, vibrant, delicious colors for sure. It is interesting how some cultures experience color differently.
Beautiful choices from some very colourful countries, Mary. I love the little girl's ruffled aqua dress. Have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteGreat choices for a color challenge! I think I'll run off and find some color to play along...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors...great choice.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. I never pictured India as being so colorful. In the last picture, is the man on the left talking on a cellphone?? What a contrast that makes! Do monks talk on cell phones??
ReplyDeleteIt seems that other countries prefer colourful fabrics and patterns whereas we're pretty conservative in what we wear. My favourite is the colour the monks are wearing.
ReplyDeleteI like how you fancied up the personal photo challenge button.
The colors are magnificent. The last one reminds me of visiting a temple high on a mountain in Chiang Mai.
ReplyDeleteYour photos bring back memories of past travels. Thanks!
Such gorgeous saturated colour in your photos. I think the stronger tropical light enhances strong colours, don't you? They complement each other so well. Great photos.
ReplyDeleteVocê visitou o mundo das cores: Índia e Tailândia! Você realmente guardou estas cores na sua câmera!
ReplyDeleteUm abraço!
You visited the world of colors: India and Thailand! You really saved these colors in your camera!
Hugs!

Mary, you have an excellent eye for drama. I love each of these. I don't know if drama is the right word. When I look at your pictures I feel like I'm there.
ReplyDeleteIndia and Thailand certainly know how to do colour, and you've done a wonderful job capturing it. I wonder how our cities would look to the people in your photos? Are we bland and colourless, or are we so used to our own colours that they don't pop out at us?
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, I love the colour of the little girl's dress.
ReplyDeleteI knew I could count on you to provide us some international flavor! The blue tones in the first and second photos are so vibrant. And who knew that monks wore orange robes? Not me! Thank you for participating once again, Miz Mary, and posting your fun travel photos.
ReplyDeleteIndia and Thailand are certainly great choices of countries that love colour... wow. A photographer's paradise! Great photos Mary! Love that dress on the little girl- I bet she loves it too!
ReplyDeleteThat first photo is stunning! blue with gold such a classic combo!
ReplyDeleteHello Mary what perfectly beautiful shot for this challenge. You are such a world traveler you have a wonderful portfolio of good photos. Love the monks in their vibrant orange.
ReplyDeleteThey're all amazing Mary!
ReplyDeleteThe first is my fave - the vibrancy of the blue paint just leaps off the wall.
I imagine colour enhances and beautifies their lives which otherwise are steeped in poverty.
You have a great eye for telling stories with your lens dear Mary.
Wishing you a Happy Mothers Day
love
