while the sun is bright

Walking down the streets of Seville last weekend, I saw a bit of red:


The street awnings are a big help to cope with the high temperatures during the summer. This is the only place I have seen such awnings!

And I also saw a lot of red!

    The little touch of colour in the Cocacola advertisement was a clever touch and the dress was very exotic!

    Wonder if Coke has to pay for that. Good eyes my friend. That dress is something else :)

    The red Coca Cola....in Seville. Such wonders never cease. And the red gown? Pretty.

    I love your red image. That is some dress! Those street shades actually seem like a great idea to me. These were both great shots.

    The Coca Cola logo is hardly visible but very effective!
    You always find the most elegant of reds - the dress is fantastic!

    Very subtle marketing there - I like the shadows on on the awnings.

    The awnings are such a good idea. Here in the UK we're just not used to 2-3 days of heat in a row. That coca cola gets everywhere!

    That dress will NOT fit me but maybe you?

    Please come back to my blog and have one more look at the swing and the tree, see that is the reflection, the tree is not there and not the swing.

    Two great photos, Mar! It's amazing you just looked up and caught that Coke sign! The dress is gorgeous! But I'd never fit into it! :( Happy Ruby Tuesday though! :)
