Sometimes in the middle of winter we need a little color to brighten the short dark days.  Recently I was searching through my photography library and noticed a few of my favorite colorful photos from India – the country known for color.  I kept searching and found a lovely collection of rainbow themed photos from countries around the globe that I’ve taken over the last 6 years.

Sometimes you find a burst of color in unusual places.  Now here’s your chance to look at the world through rainbow colored glasses.

      1. Thanks! That’s one of my favorites too. That trip to Laos with a pro photojournalist was amazing…that’s how I got great shots like that!

    1. Colour makes my world go round. When I ask my husband if he likes my new clothes purchase he inevitably pauses and says “it is colourful”. I am not sure if that means he likes it or not!
      Colour in photography is wonderful, I am always attracted to flower photography for that reason.

    2. A really neat look at color. I like the one of the clothspins for both the depth of field as well as the implied story of “what are they for?”

      The post makes me think of some of the pictures I have seen of the tannery pots in Morocco.

    3. Morocco is full of colors. It is one of the countries where you see bold colors everywhere. It can be in the cities like blue Chefchaouen, red Marrakech, blue and white Essaouira. It can be in the beautiful landscapes from apricot colored sand dunes to green oasis giving an amazing contrast to the barren brown landscapes. It can be in the clothes people wear. Women like to dress in djellabas that are always full of amazing colors.
