All day, every day we are surrounded by color, and even though we should be thanking the gods for being so lucky we’re too often numb to it. But when we have one of those lucid moments on viewing something special, seeing an awesome image and really taking notice of our world, it’s then we stop and say, “Wow!”

Here are some of those “Wow!” moments, captured forever so that we never loose sight of the color in our lives.

Great pics!

I was a little surprised you didn’t include Caminito in Buenos Aires, Argentina: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Buenos_Aires_-_La_Boca_-_Caminito_-_200807i.jpg

or Murano, Italy where they do glass-blowing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Murano-view.jpg

I’ve been to both of these places and they were truly amazing!!

I have seen the image of the lake before (#7) Although I dont remember the exact source. I believe it was a hot spring, the color comes from all the sulfur in the water. Maybe it was Yellowstone National Park if I’m not mistaken. You may want to do some more research. Beautiful!

The colorful pool is the Morning Glory Pool in Yellowstone park. Though I had no luck finding the photographer, I did a Virgilio Vallecera who posted a wallpaper of the image.

Poop…I forgot to add the word “find” to my last post – “I did FIND a Virgilio Vallecera…”

Yellow seems to be a common color no matter where you are.

The unknown photo is of “Morning Glory”, a thermal pool at Yellowstone National Park. No clue who the photographer is though.

Photo Number 9 is in Singapore NOT China (Singapore is not a part of a village in China if you’re wondering). Its at Rochor Road.

Love it! Too often we forget to just soak in the beauty that’s all around us.

I really enjoy seeing a variety of colors.
Although I noticed that some communities are careful
with color freedom.

thanks from tony

Thank you, Steve for allowing your image to be used under CC. Without guys like you we wouldn’t be able to produce posts like these at all!

Btw, have you seen the post about our partnership with Sony? You might want to send something in. Here are the details:

I love colour, so this was great! I’m with “LBNA” and surprised that LaBoca in Buenos Aires, Argentina isn’t in this “colourful” post.
