Amusement Park Ride Colorful lights flash on a popular amusement park ride.
Burano, Italy
Photograph by Jim Richardson
Colorful buildings line a stretch of waterfront on the island of Burano in Italy’s Veneto. A fishermen’s village, tiny Burano is a short boat trip away from neighboring Venice.

Apples, pomegranates, grapes, and other fruit are on display at a market in Istanbul’s Galata District.
Red-Eyed Tree Frog
Red-eyed tree frogs like the one seen here on a freesia petal flash their bulging red eyes and reveal their orange feet when startled, a technique that may help to warn off predators. But it’s merely a bluff—despite their vivid coloration, the rain forest dwellers aren’t venomous.

Windswept wildflowers make an Impressionistic display in California’s Big Sur, a mountainous coastal landscape that includes redwood groves and dramatic Pacific views.
Shiraz, Iran
Color is everywhere, and when it's everywhere at once, it can be as ephemeral as a rainbow, as sudden as colored powder raining down at a festival, or as necessary as a natural defense. No matter where you look, life is in color.
Here, a woman prays at the 18th-century Vakil Mosque in Shiraz, Iran. Islam is the official religion of Iran, practiced by about 98 percent of the population.
Sugar Crystals

Magnified sugar crystals resemble stained glass as each crystal captures light at a different angle. To get the image, photographer Victor Boswell dissolved sugar in water and let the mixture evaporate and crystallize on a microscope slide.
