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 :)
