| Life In Red Color 1. Iron-Rich Creek Bed 
| Iron-rich rocks create a rust-red creek bed for fast-flowing waters in Alberta's Waterton Lakes National Park. The Canadian park lies across the international border from Montana's Glacier National Park. | 2. Moroccan Mosque 
| A glowing keyhole arch and dusty-red walls frame the minaret of Al Berdain Mosque in Meknès, Morocco. The arch's lighting also suggests a crescent moon, one of Islam's traditional symbols. | 3. Maple Leaves 
| A Maryland maple tree shows off the flaming foliage beloved by "leaf-peepers." Experts say most people judge the quality of each autumn's foliage by the prevalence of red leaves. | 4. Schoolchildren With Umbrellas 
| Nothing can dampen the enthusiasm of Taipei schoolchildren gathered for a celebration of Double Ten, Taiwan's national day. Double Ten remembers the October 10, 1911, revolution that ended China's last dynasty. | 5. Sumac Leaves 
| Sumac leaves glow red in the autumn light at the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve in Cottonwood Falls, Kansas. The grassy prairie landscape is dotted with shrub thickets of sumac and dogwood, which are favored by birds and small animals. | 6. East German Auto 
| A red car sits on a dirty and deserted side street in communist East Berlin. East and West Germany were reunited in 1990 after 45 years of separation following the end of World War II. | 7. Geisha's Lips 
| A geisha in Kyoto, Japan, applies the blood-red lipstick that completes her traditional makeup. Modern geisha carry on an ancient profession; they privately entertain Japan's rich and powerful men and maintain total confidentiality. | 8. Fallen Maple Leaf 
| A solitary red maple leaf lies on the trunk of a downed tree in Maine's Acadia National Park. The United States is home to some 90 different species of maple trees. | 9. Golden Damselfish 
| Here, a brilliant red sea fan coral spreads behind a golden damselfish in waters off Fiji's Namenalala Island. | 10. Sea Oats 
| Darkness lends a reddish tint to sea oats bending with storm-whipped winds in Saxis, Virginia. The salt-loving tall grass thrives in beach ecosystems and helps to form and protect sand dunes by collecting windblown grains. | 11. Wedding Cave 
| Rich red draperies and glowing paper lanterns transform a rocky cave into a magical wedding hall in China's Hubei Province. Red is the traditional color of Chinese wedding celebrations. | 12. Lake Magadi 
| Kenya's Lake Magadi blushes under a bacteria bloom following a rainstorm. The extremely salty, alkali lake holds little life, but its waters are a favorite spot for wading birds. | 13. Smoking Sadhu 
| A Hindu ascetic, or sadhu, wrapped in a bright-red cloth, smokes underneath a vad (banyan) tree outside a temple in Mumbai (Bombay), India. Sadhus devote themselves to the spiritual life, own few possessions, and typically depend on donations to survive. | 14. Child 's Shadow 
| The fleeting shadow of a San (Bushman) child races across a red wall in Welkom, South Africa. Like many San the boy's family lived as squatters for nearly two decades, forgotten by African governments. | Latest Update on Ritemail Previous Post : Click Below
