Fiery Yellow: No need to be mellow this Monday

I was recently at a children’s birthday party where I met a woman who, like me, enjoys taking 100s upon hundreds of photos while on vacation. She downloads the every night and send s them out to her networks. I too take care to download every night -thus turning vacation into another form of work. I do so because I am scared of losing the photos for some reason.   How will I remember all that I have experienced if I were to lose the photos? That’s the question many of us ask or experience.   But in those nightly downloads, there is an element of not deeply appreciating the photographs rapidly flipping on screen.

In going through my photos this weekend, I looked more closely at several hundred of them and found a certain vibrancy that I had not seen before Yellow is a cheery happy color for the most part. It can also be calming.   In the photos I present below, however, yellow is anything but laid back. Thus, on a Monday morning instead of being a bit mellow as the week starts lets fire ourselves up just like the fiery yellows herein.

Often the rising sun and horizon are portrayed as a fiery red. Here in Florida in the middle of “winter” it is a fiery yellow.

The yellow in this mural heightens emotions in contrast to the empty faces of the horseback riders in the top.

A splash of yellow goes a long way to bringing a piece alive.

The goofiness of yellow
