Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is the Colors of Red, White or Red and White together
While it is not that difficult to find red or white separately; the challenge is more in having red and white together in a picture and that they are the predominant colors. Frankly speaking, red is not my color. This is not the color I usually encounter in my landscape photography. I only like it if it makes pictures interesting.
In the pictures below, I have tried to showcase some pictures in which they are the main colors. Some of them can be considered pairs.
While in Hvar island, Croatia, we liked watching boats of flashy colors in the Hvar harbor. The boats just swayed lazily in the blue Adriatic sea waters.
Hvar is a long island. At its far end, there is an enchanted little fishing town known as Sucraj. Here, we found red and white boats lying on the shore.
Langkawai, Malaysia is an idyllic island which we like going back again and agin for a visit. While wandering along some alleys, we saw these red and white flowers which overwhelmed the whole picture.
Lithuania, Baltic too has got some red flowers which stood out from the white paving blocks in the pavement.
Wandering the street of Latvia, we stumbled upon this street side artist standing against a wall of red and white rectangles.
The palaces in Lativia, Baltic never failed to arouse our interest. This palace, which displayed some furniture and paintings, was once the residence of the royal family.
It appears that red walls in the upper portion and white in the lower portion were the favored colors of the royal family at the time.
Thanks Cee for coming up with this interesting theme for the photo challenge. For more posts showing red and white, please refer to http://www.ceephotography.com/2013/02/19/cees-fun-foto-challenge-the-colors-of-red-white-or-red-and-white-together/
Beautiful interpretation – as usual! I LOVE the first picture of boats in Croatia.
Hi tiny lessons blog, glad that you like the pictures. Frankly, I find it a bit hard to take part in this challenge as I do not have a lot of photos with reds and whites. Many thanks for the continued perusal and the kind comment 🙂
I agree! Wonderful, as always!

I thought of posting the Canada Flag, but that’s like cheating. It’s nice that you have a big archive to go through. Always enjoy your photography.
Doesn’t matter as long as the flag is flying and looks artistic. Many thanks for your continous support 🙂
I believe you more than “rose” to the challenge here–love how the reds are highlighted. I also appreciate your poetic verbal descriptions; I think my favorite line is about how the boats “swayed lazily….” Lovely work, as always. Cheers
Hi Sirena Tales, many thanks for your encouraging comment. Have a great weekend 🙂
I wish I could jump into that picture and steal those lovely red boats!!
Those pictures are my very favorite of the set. So vibrant!
I don’t mind having flashy red cars or boats and can understand your emtion. Have a great weekend!

Mhanks for your encouraging comment. Have a great weekend 🙂

Hi Harold, thanks for your encouraging comment. Have a great weekend 🙂
Very nice Michael!
Thank you! Have aa great weekend 🙂
The first boat in the water in Crotia is my favorite. Being on the water is where I am most relaxed. Thank you Michael for the tranquil pictures.
For me, even the sight of the water ( in lakes, river, sea ) will relax me. Thanks for your encouraging comment. Have a great weekend 🙂
Good gracious! Seeing your photos just wants to make me travel…especially to the Mediterranean. Thanks Michael, – Bill

Hi Bulldog, thank you for your encouraging comment 🙂
Not a pink lady … but this that pink room with the pink chairs is fantastic –maybe it’s red ????
Note your gravatar picture is also pink / red. Have a great weekend!
Beautiful photos! Such a pretty sight for my sore eyes tired of this gloomy winter. Thank you for posting them. 🙂
Glad that they take away from you , at least for a moment, the gloomy winter. Cheers 🙂
Local Art is my all time favourite holiday treasure. I’ve bought a piece in Venice and Paris. Means so much in a home. I never get tired of Hvar either, just a beautifully scenic destination.
Like looking around for local art too. Hvar is a place which I would like to re-visit if I am near that part of the world. Regards, Michael
Contrast, clarity, color – beautiful!

I especially like the photos with the boats. In addition to butterflies, I have an affinity for photographing boats so mine will appear on my blog once the weather warms up and I’m inspired. http://bmoreenergy.wordpress.com/2013/03/05/the-next-big-thing-blog-hop/
Hi Naomi, look forward to seeing your boat photos. I love yachts too. Thank you 🙂
To think people lived like this.
Thanks for the comment!
