This year for
Capture the Colour I have decided to celebrate Western Australia, which is
where I live at the moment. Some may see this as a limitation but I choose to
see it as a challenge. Not that it makes things especially difficult; Western
Australia is an extraordinary state, home to vastly contrasting landscapes,
magical experiences and definitely plenty of colour.
Blue
Esperance lies at
the east end of the southern coast of WA. The Esperance coastline is
magnificent and just about every imaginable shade of blue. This photograph is
the view over West Beach in spring.

Red
I love red earth
and WA has plenty. It is especially noticeable once you get to the Kimberleys
in northern WA. This photograph was taken in Broome. I love the stark contrast
of the bright red rocks and the turquoise blue sea.

Green
Rottnest Island
is home to one of the last thriving populations of quokkas. This photograph
poses a bit of a mystery as with nothing green in sight I’m at a loss as to
where this little quokka found the juicy green leaf he is clutching!

Yellow
This golden
sunset was captured one evening on Broome’s infamous Cable Beach. I love the
variety of colours that infiltrate the image, all from one sunset.

White
The sand on the
beaches in Cape Le Grand National Park, near Esperance, has been labeled the
whitest in Australia. It is so white and clean that it is squeaky when you step
on it. A local gang of kangaroos lives in the area and they are usually found
rummaging through seaweed, as they do here.

Capture the
colour is a competition run by Travel Supermarket.
I was proud to learn that, although I didn't win the competition last year, one of the images
I entered was featured on Travel Supermarket’s World map and can be
seen here. (Click on the continent of Europe and head to the second page for mywhite image of a Notting Hill Carnival participant).
This year I was
nominated to take part by Michaela of Rocky Travel. Thanks for the nomination,
Michaela!
In turn my five nominations are:
Bobbi of Heels and wheels
Lawrence of Finding the Universe
Lisa at Chicky Bus
Christy and Scott at Ordinary Traveler
Jack and Jill at Jack and Jill Travel
Do you see the world through colours?
