shades of autumn: yellow

The beautiful blogs Bumbles & Light, Live & Love Out Loud and Project Alicia are hosting a photography challenge based around the shades of autumn. You can find out all the details by clicking on the button below.

Shades of Autumn Photo Challenge

At only 70-ish miles from the equator there's no traditional northern hemisphere change in the seasons here in Singapore. I thought this might be an interesting exercise in sharing the shades of a tropical Asian autumn; lush, vibrant and dripping with sweat colour.

So here are some of the yellows to be found in Singapore this autumn. Once I'd collected all the shots together I realised that people here aren't shy about bright masonry paint! And as a group it's suddenly apparent that my first six photos are all at strange and wonky angles - I hope my cack-eyed view of life doesn't make you seasick.

my favourite yellow - the Rochor Complex has red, green and blue blocks too, but they're no match for this

shophouses in Chinatown

shophouses in Little India

the back of the Fortune Centre. Not quite the 50% yellow required but I couldn't bear to crop!

mid-autumn festival lanterns at Kampong Bugis

homemade cinnamon swirls - the taste of pure autumn regardless of the climate!

standard municipal planting (so exotic!)

waving neko

oodles of noodles

a maternal indulgence - The Boss's finger painting of Winsent WangGo's Sunflowers
(as pronounced by her divine, Singlish-speaking, American-inflected teacher!)

See my green photos from last week here!

  16. I absolutely love the architecture in Singapore, in addition to the pops of color that can be found everywhere! By the way, remind me not to visit your blog when I'm hungry. For the second week in a row, I'm drooling. I think I'll go make myself some ramen for lunch.
