Color Challenge - Monday Red: Cool old car I saw today, in fire engine red
I'm committed to doing a daily color challenge everyday this week using a photo taken on the post day....
To start the weekly color challenge, I needed something red. I'm in Pai, a small town in Northern Thailand. It's a traditional old rice farming valley, infused with a hippy vibe and an added love of all things retro and kitsch. I went out early to shoot a video at a place called Pai Canyon, but there was nothing there for this color challenge. the whole place is a giant palette of browns and greens, under a blue sky.
After shooting there I cruised around for a while after on a scooter, and decided to go check out a forest. The sign was for the "stone forest", both in English and Thai, so I thought maybe there'd be some reds in the petrified wood. I was badly mistaken. Turns out the stone forest is just a forest with some big stones (small boulders, I suppose). that place was, again, just more greens.
It was roasting hot at that point so I went to find some shade and a cold drink. I stopped at a coffee shop along the road, and only after I'd stopped did I see the blazing red car they had parked in front. Perfect! Monday done. Tomorrow I'm off in search of orange.
Ohhh look, red bicycles too!
Lovely Fire Engine Red car and a nice narrative about the efforts you took to capture the picture. The retro look of the car is really appealing in the angle you have captured. Well done. Upvoted
