First I find One Word Photo Challenge and the theme is Scarlet, and then I find Ruby Tuesday 🙂 I did one on orange out of compulsion a few weeks ago, I am really starting to enjoy these colour themed travel photography posts!
I started looking for interesting travel pictures depicting red but there were just too many. So I decided to pick one travel journey – a trip to Bangladesh in winter – and chose interesting pictures that is not only linked to this theme, but tells the story of our time in Bangladesh really well.
It was a very cold winter that year – A street kid we saw on our road journey to Rajbari

Love the different kinds of vegetables we get in winter in Bangladesh
Trucks are always painted in lovely bright colours!
Hospitality in Bangladesh is like no other! People go out of their way to feed you with whatever means they have!

Even though we have lived in England for 10 years now, Bangladesh will always remain home to us and we look forward to going back sometime in the near future. If you enjoyed this, do check out our other posts on Bangladesh seen through the eyes of Yorkshire children and more!

Stumble It! 
These are beautiful. And they weave a lovely story of your time in Bangladesh. So much scarlet to be seen 🙂 So glad you’ve shared another post in the One Word Photo Challenge. I’m going to head over to see the next post you mentioned now. 🙂
What lovely pics and you’ve used them beautifully. Great idea.
I’m in such close proximity to Bangladesh now and have thought about visiting.
you so must! let me know if need any information or suggestions, much to do there 🙂
Really clever idea. The red really pops out of these photos as they tell the story of your journey through Bangladesh.
I am glad I managed to portray both our travels in Bangladesh and painted in red too! Thanks for kind comments 🙂
What a beautiful display of the scarlet color! Excellent photos, Samiya. I love the one with you and your son the best. You have such a great family.
Thanks so much anda 🙂 glad I managed to sort out logo for linking up with travel notes and beyond too!
Beautiful pictures, the first one is so cute! 🙂
Love, love, love the photos. So beautiful!
Thank you 🙂
Very interesting pictures and the color really shines out.
Great idea.
What a creative idea, I love it!
Lovely post, and I agree that the “red” theme really captures some of the outstanding images of your visit. When I was a kid, I lived in Afghanistan & always loved seeing the colorful trucks in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Even though it often looked like the passengers piled up on top of the truck had a pretty precarious perch!
I want to do a post some point on these passengers sitting on top of trucks, trains and buses! so crazy! Thanks for the positive feedback on my images 🙂
What a great post and amazing photos

Gorgeous colors! Reminds me a little bit of Latin America as well.
What a beautiful collection of photos! I especially love the photo of you in sari. Very pretty! Fun idea to look through your travel photos looking for a theme. Maybe I should try it some day…
Thanks Jolanta 🙂 I did have fun doing a few travel posts in colour or some other themes. Haven’t done it in a while, maybe will look out for one again!
I love your bestie’s color of red lipstick! Wish I could wear red lipstick with such panache. Great photos!
Love this idea for a blog post. The pictures are wonderful!
would love to visit Bangladesh one day
