October being the Breast Cancer Awareness Month had something to do with my choice of today’s photo challenge theme:THINK PINK. If you’d like to join me in this challenge, keep in mind that it does not need to be a pink ribbon, but any pink-coloured subject. Let’s make this a happy and bright post…
I did not have to go far to find me some pink. This pink delight was practically on my doorstep.
“A woman should be pink and cuddly for a man”. (Audrey Hepburn) Does the same go for a car too? 😀
It’s not every day that you see a car on a roof, much less a pink one.
Interesting facts about colour PINK:
it represents caring, compassion and love
it is youthfull, fun and exciting
it is associated with romance and happiness
In Japan, the color pink has a masculine association. The annual spring blooming of the pink-blossomed cherry trees (the Sakura) is said to represent the young Japanese warriors who fell in battle in the prime of life (the Samurai).
Jaipur City is a foremost tourist attraction in India because of its superlative forts, grandiose palaces, vivacious temples, multicolored bazaars, pulsating streets, and its distinguished pink color to which the city owes its oft-used name “The Pink City”.
The Chinese had not recognized the color pink until they had contact with Western culture and the Chinese word for pink translates as “foreign color.”
Marrakesh is another city associated with the color pink. It is sometimes referred to as the “Rose City” because of its salmon-pink colored buildings and the red clay of its terrain.
Maybe your travels have taken you to some of these cities, or you have found other interesting examples of pink that you would like to share? If you did, please remember to:

That may be the coolest car ever! Paula, Great job of capturing it’s soul and thanks for sharing. I love old cars and I do not know what this says about me but old and forgotten cars are my favorite. I am blessed to come across this challenge and I am blessed to contribute. Here is my contribution:https://daffodilhillphotography.com/2016/10/19/thursdays-special-think-pink/
I love pink, yes it’s happy and bright and full of optimism, which we can never have enough of. Great photos Paula. Hope to submit something this week. 🙂
Welcome back, Paula. Was wondering if you know the English idiom of ‘being in the pink’ i.e. meaning being very well, though it seems this meaning has changed over the years: http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/in-the-pink.html
Anyway I’m hoping that you’re ‘in the pink’, Paula 🙂
Somehow I’ve slipped out of your world lately. What a treat to come back into it via this stunning manifestation of pink! A little bit of my favourite dilapidated too!
ha, ha, the car is on the roof? I thought of you a month ago when I stumbled upon a mural in zagreb (purely by chance, of course) that you posted some time ago – a face, on a garage, or something. who knows maybe I’ll discover this car one day too :-). http://lessywannagohome.blogspot.be/2016/10/think-pink.html
Pink is my favorite color- so much interesting info about it- thanks Paula. Love your choice of song- one of my faves 🙂 ❤

Great post – I love that car and the music. And I love the colour facts – I didn’t know that about Japan’s view of pink.
My pink is on its way very soon!
