Travel theme: One Colour

Most people think of monochrome photography as being solely black and white, but the definition also includes photos containing varying tones of one colour. After browsing through a monochrome photography exhibit earlier this week, I went looking through my travel shots for photos containing one predominant colour. It turned out to be a lot of fun and I was surprised at how many shots I’ve taken that have one main colour. Here are the red halls of Seattle’s Central Library.

Getting artsy with raindrops on leaves at the Bloedel Reserve on Bainbridge Island.

Sizzling hot California sunset just south of the Oregon border.

Pearly white M&M overload at the flagship store in Manhattan.

Fluffy pink cherry blossom season in Seattle.

It’s hard to find a Holi photo with just one colour in it, but this is the closest I got to monochrome in this frenzy of colour.

So do you think you can limit yourself to only one colour? If you would like to join in (everyone’s welcome!) here’s what to do:

About ailsapm

Hi there! I’m Ailsa Prideaux-Mooney. I’ve lived in many places, and travelled to many more. I had a lot of fun getting there and being there, wherever there happened to be at the time. I climbed a castle wall in Czesky Krumlov, abseiled down cliffs to go caving in the west of Ireland, slept on the beach in Paros, got chased by a swarm of bees in Vourvourou (ok that wasn’t fun, but it was exciting), learned flower arranging in Tokyo, found myself in the middle of a riot in Seoul, learned to snowboard in Salzburg, got lost in a labyrinth in Budapest and had my ice cream stolen by a gull in Cornwall. And I’m just getting started. If you’ve enjoyed what you’ve read so far, I’d love you to follow my travelogue - wheresmybackpack.com - and remember, anyone who tries to tell you it’s a small world hasn’t tried to see it all.
