Travel Theme: Minimalist

This week, Ailsa at Where’s My Backpack? asks us to share our Minimalist photos, i.e., “those with cleaner lines, fewer elements, strong on structure and somehow easier on the eye.”  Here’s my take on the theme:

Weekly Photo Challenge: Saturated

When it comes to color saturation, there is no place like the boardwalk on Venice Beach, California, which happens to be one of my favorite places to photograph. I was there just yesterday and here are some of the very colorful shots I got. Talk about saturation!

Fresh from the tree!

On this Northeast Brazil beach, coconuts are hand-picked for you.

After savoring its deliciously sweet water, you can ask them to crack the coconut open so you can eat its delicious meat.
