My ultimate collection of colorful photos from around the world - part 1
Hi there my Hivean friends and followers!
As you might know from some of my older posts, we had to stay in Central Europe for this winter because of all the covid restrictions and everything. We have been temporarily based in Poland and over the past few months, I have only managed to sneak out to my Czech homeland (and back) to visit my family and friends for a few days on several occasions. That was it. No tropical seaside getaways for us this time. However, just as if this alone was not enough, we also ended up experiencing what the locals say is one of the coldest and most depressive winters in long years, which only made us miss the warm seaside locations even more.
Naturally, the greyness has had an impact on the content of my blog here on Hive too. I mean literally. I have been lately posting way too much stuff that simply lacks colors because we have had only very little sunshine here and even if we did, there were not many colors around to be lit up by it anyway. Some of you started to notice that my photography posts are not as bright as they used to be before and that actually inspired me to compile a massive collection of colorful images from various places to brighten up my blog again.
I eagerly dived into my photo archives and started to work on the selection that I would share with you here on my blog but I just couldn´t stop. As you probably know, we have spent a lot of time in the Latin America and those countries are all about vivid colors so just these albums alone provided me with hundreds of photos that I could use for this collection. In the end, I decided to go for a total of 100 pictures that will be divided into 4 different posts. With that being said, this photography collection will be the largest one I have ever posted here on Hive (or before on Steem) and I am really excited about it :) I think it´s also fair to say that you might actually find some of the photos familiar because they were already featured in some of my previous posts but there are also many that have never been published here. Also, I am pretty sure that for those who only started to follow my blog recently, all of them will be new and hopefully also interesting ;)
As for the actual subjects of the photos that you are going to see in this series, they will come in all possible forms, shapes, sizes and - most importantly - colors :) You can expect anything from handicrafts, buildings and street art to natural landmarks, landscapes, beaches, flowers and animals. The only thing that all of the pictures that you will see in this photo collection have in common is what my blog has been lacking really bad lately - bright colors ;)
Without further ado, let me now kick off this enormous photography series with its first part. Enjoy :)

Congratulations, your post has been added to Pinmapple! 🎉🥳🍍
Did you know you have your own profile map?
And every post has their own map too!
Want to have your post on the map too?
Nice and extensive collection of photos. In these days it is very difficult to travel. I do not know how you manage that.
Best regards.
Thank you :) Well as I said in the post, we haven´t been traveling lately either. These are photos from places we visited/lived at in the past...
Wow that is really awesome collection!
100 photos is a lot. I doubt I would find that many themed colorful. Probably as I haven't visit Latin America yet and this destination is very colorful as I can see and imagine :)
Well awesome work and can't wait to see more next week!
Thanks man, it really means a lot coming from a great photographer like you :) Well, Latin America is definitely one of the most colorful parts of the world and I am sure you will take tons of amazing photos there one day ;) See you in the second part next week!
Such a colourful beautiful world🌍🙏
Věděl jsem, že se ti bude tahle série líbit ;) :*
Awesome! Like the idea! 💪
Cool, feel free to get inspired :)
These colourful places and photos (for those who can't discover them by themselves) are genuine medicine for the heart, I swear! :)
Aww, thank you so much Gabriela, that was exactly the purpose of this collection :) Bring some nice colorful vibes to people who cannot have them when they are right now (like me). Well, 3 more loads of colors coming soon! :)
How I miss traveling... Cuba, Mexico and Colombia seemed just like a year ago.... Was to go to Morrocca in November, trip/flights/hotels were cancelled on us 2 days prior.
Oh man that really sucks, sorry about that :( Honestly, we have heard so many of stories like this that we actually haven´t even tried to travel lately... Just waiting for these crazy times to pass...
Yap, waiting, until I get that vacine, hope for lower cases and return to some normalcy and use my frequent flier miles!
With no doubt you certainly have brighten up my day sensational photos i love them shiny classic cars in Havana, Cuba , i have heard they really have some classic cars there i would love to go there and load up a container full they are worth heaps here back home especially them Chevy 2dr dodge 1956 - 1959 models. In actual fact all them old cars they have in Cuba are worth heaps over here in Australia.
Oh yeah man, those fancy shiny oldtimers in Cuba... I have already showed you the ultimate collection of those shots, haven´t I? :)
Ohh...yes i saw that i just love them old school cars it makes me want to come over there and fill up a container full and bring them back here. I really should look into that there is a fortune to be made i reckon.
sin duda alta calidad
Muchas gracias :)
You do have lot's of beautiful colors here to brighten up anyone's day love that first and third photos great graffiti goes a long way.
Thank you :) Oh yeah, street art is incredible colorful in Latin America, I have posted dozens of collections with street art only, from various locations. Glad you enjoyed these images, see you in the second part :)
Definitely incredible if done right will be looking forward to your part 2 👍
Thank you :) Just published the second part ;)
Cool i will be over there to check it out 👍
Hooooah, all in with the colors!
I think I've been through Kromeritz when cycling from Ostrava-Olomouc-Brun. Those colors and buildings seem familiar.
You obviously have a very good memory my man, you have all these names correct (except for some minor spelling mistakes that probably come from the German names of those towns that you might have seen somewhere :)
Anyway, thanks for stopping by, more colors coming soon! ;)
Not gonna lie I got lost several times, because i simply couldn't spell most of the names in Czech Republic hahahaha
Hahaha and you haven´t even been to Nova Ves u Noveho Mesta na Morave :D (longest name in the country :D)
Wow... Amazing pictures 😍
And so many places you been, I really miss traveling and hope to be able to do it again soon.
Good thing People like you can make it better by sharing beautiful pictures from places you been 😊
And the colors in them are awsome.
Thank you for sharing and have a fantastic week. Cheers
Hey, thanks for checking out those shots and leaving such a nice comment :) Well, I think we all hope that traveling will be a thing again, these lockdown times are very frustrating for everyone... Hopefully this photo series help brighten up the mood a bit :)
