And Life is Colour and Warmth and Light and a striving evermore for these

Into Battle, Julian Grenfell, World War One poet

Warm colours, such as reds, oranges, and yellows, are often associated with energy, passion, and warmth, evoking feelings of excitement and vibrancy. In photography they leap off the page or screen. It’s hard to ignore a warm-shaded image! The deeper warm shades suggest cosiness and comfort, while the brighter ones are sunny and cheerful.

For this week’s Lens Artists challenge Edigio asks us to make warm colours the main focus of our post. It’s not so long since I did something similar with red and yellow, for a Lens Artists post celebrating the primary colours. So today I wanted to create a single gallery showcasing a range of warm colours. I hope this will take you on a journey from the almost-cool pale yellows to the deepest of reds. It’s perhaps no coincidence that many were taken in Italy, a country full of warm colours.

Hover over an image to see where it was taken, or click any of them to open a captioned slideshow. I’ve tried to avoid including too many that I’ve shared previously but a few may have slipped through!
