Hiking landscapes can be other than gurgling streams, towering trees and breathtaking mountain views. You can have equally colourful and interesting experiences in the urban trail of the
Asphalt Forest
GREEN
The German town of Bruckhausen, once a city of the future, now very near the end of its tethers.
YELLOW
Urban architecture, as we know it today, was more or less invented in Genoa.
WHITE
The trail of white roses painted on Hildesheim’s streets leading to the town’s main attractions.
BLUE
Gaudi’s unique style has left its mark on much of Barcelona’s architecture, not only on its most famous church. (Here, Parc Guell and its fairground atmosphere.)
RED
Montmartre, a haven for hikers and bikers.

Trattorria Pomodoro – tomato – great.
The colour theme works well,and these are very interesting street scenes. Urban hiking…. That’s a great concept!
I like the contrast between the green and the yellow here: the architecture – and the atmosphere the photos convey….
I really like your yellow shot. Cool angle!
A theme for your selections! Very interesting. I really liked the color of the sun lit yellow. It felt very warm.
Love your creative take on this one. My favorite is the one at Park Guell, that’s such an amazing park.
Great pics…love the one in Barcelona!
Good luck, Marcia!
Love your choices, especially the red, blue and yellow. Great shots.
Thanks for tagging me. Hope I find some appropriate photos. Good luck with the contest.
Good Luck for your entries, too, Mary.
You’ve got some great selections here. While I like the red, I’m drawn to the yellow picture. It’s just so bright and vivid. Thanks for the nomination!
Thanks again, Leigh. Good luck to your entries too!
Awaiting your visit, Jeff!
Steve, we are one. I also like the blue picture. First glance and you know what colour we are talking about.
OK, you can consider me a troublemaker, but I’m going with the blue picture. It was very considerate of everybody to wear blue for your picture. Well, except for that one person in red. You had a word with them afterwards right?
Such beautiful photos my friend!! Love the white rose and Monmartre of course…my next destination to visit!
I love the red but love the soft lighting of yellow. A very nice post and good luck with a win in a category. Thanks for taking up the challenge.
That seems to be the winner in this collection, Christine.
Nice pictures – I especially like the photo with the red colors.
Cathy, that picture was pure chance – that there were red bikes parked there as well. Hope this is our lucky charm.
Very observant, Jeremy. I try to make any picture post as close to the topic of hiking as possible.
These are such great selections. If I have to pick a favorite, it would be red — you captured it!
Interesting take on the Capture the Colours meme – doing a theme within a theme. I like the red one the best.
