Debbie’s ‘One Word’ for this Sunday is ‘Red’. After my donkey’s whatchamacallit for a previous challenge, I decided to stay in Morocco for a while longer. Here are the taxicabs outside the Medina in Fez. The red ones are called Petit Taxis and can carry three passengers with room for luggage on the roof.
Red is a popular colour in Morocco. The red background of the flag represents hardiness, bravery, strength and valour. We were told that this was a welcoming reception for the king who was expected to arrive shortly for some traditional event.

The red stands out, Sylvia. You won’t miss seeing the taxi during the day. It might be harder at night, but it looks fun and exciting.
Beautiful images for the theme 🙂
So diverse and catchy …
Thank you for sharing, Sylvia 🙂
How interesting that the taxis are red. Such vibrant colors. did you get to see the king arrive?
Thanks, Sue. No we were leaving on a day trip, so unfortunately missed seeing the king. When we returned, it was all over.
Great shots, especially the first one which took me right back to Morocco. I happen to love red, especially the bright fire engine variety and even wear red glasses (every single day)…
Peta
Thanks, Peta. Yes, your red-framed glasses are quite memorable and suit you perfectly.
Donkey’s whatchamacallit, oki that leaves a lot to wonder haha!
Thanks, Andy. 😅
Nice photos. I like the splash of red on the women (dancers?) attires.
Thanks,ZL. I think they look so lovely in their costumes.
Love those red cars.. keeps it simple and unflashy.. 😉
Thanks, Lisa. Simple really works. 🙂
I like color oriented taxi system. They are easier to spot than just some sign on top. Bright red is the best.
Thanks, YC. Yes, red really does stand out
In all honesty, I will say I am not personally fond of red.
I mean, it’s Ok and there are some shades which are actually alright.
Wonderful photos Sylvia, wow, it’s crowded,
I guess they are waiting for the King?
Each to their own, Eddie. My husband doesn’t wear red either. He’s more of a blue and grey man. He does love to see me in a red dress though. 😀
Nice pick!
Thanks, Teresa.
Good choices
Thanks, Derrick.
That is some bright red there. Red is also a popular colour in Chinese cultures, symbolising good luck. Looked like quite a sight and experience there in Morocco. Hope you are doing well 🙂
Thanks, Mabel. Yes, I’m sure I have lots of red in my China photos too. 😃
Red is my favourite! Beautiful photos. 🙂
Thanks, Lynette. 😃
Love those costumes. I have lots of red as well.
janet
Thanks, Janet. 😃
How very exotic! Certain shades of red are my favorite colour(s), too. My encounter with the mandolin produced quite a bit of red for awhile! 🥴
Thanks, Gunta. Yes, I don ‘t really want to imagine the kind of red you’re referring to here. 😦
Actually laughed at the collection of red cars!
That’s a good thing, Frank. 😍
🙂
We would love to visit Morocco one day.
It’s an interesting country to visit.
I’m loving red
Me too, Marylou. 😍
Those are beautiful, and colorful photos!
Thanks so much, Lavinia. 😃
Hi S
Love the red taxis – so used to yellow or even black – and that photo of them is cool
Also like the flags and nice take on red
Thanks so much, Yvette. I thought the red taxis were quite unusual.
🙂
Wow, you really found some red!
Thanks, Dawn. It didn’t take long to come up with some red in my Morocco pics. 🙂
Obviously…gotta love place that embraces color!
Oh Sylvia!! I LOVE this post. Red has always been my most favourite colour. Its energy and drama always brought me a heightened sense of what is possible. I immediately connected with the symbolism of the flag of Morocco’s red background: hardiness, bravery, strength and valour. Isn’t it interesting how one word brings out so many memories, ideas and symbols.
Thanks so much, Rebecca. I also adore red and it’s my favourite colour for a dress. My birthstone is a ruby, so maybe that has something to do with it. 🙂
