Red Around The World

Red is one of the boldest colors. It can be associated with blood, danger, courage, sacrifice, heat, passion, sexuality, and love. I find it really interesting how this color can be associated with such contrasting concepts. It sure makes things stand out.

I have captured my fair share of photographs around the world where the color red as the main subject in the image.
