This month's photo competition theme is: Photos highlighting real world examples (natural or man made) of various shades of yellow, a variation on a suggested theme by jcklopp in reaction to this question. You can post up to three photos per post if they are in some way connected, please explain the connection. Up to three posts.

The following rules apply:

  • Please do not post photos until 00:00:00 1st October 2022 (UTC Time) - any photos posted before that time will not be counted.
  • Please include a description of what you're photographing, when and where the photo was taken.
  • Photos should be taken by you or a travel companion who is named. Up to three photos per post, three posts maximum per person. Do not delete or change photos or posts once posted. (Not even when they break the rules.)
  • If there are any people in the photo, make sure you have their permission to post the photo online (or blur their faces).
  • No offensive / NSFW photos.
  • No downvotes, they are not counted. Please leave a comment if you disagree. Photos may be posted until 23:59:59 31st of October (UTC Time) when the winner will be announced. If there is a draw/tie voting will continue.

This thread needs a mention of Hoi An, the yellow town of Vietnam. Its old town, UNESCO heritage site since 1999, features the typical buildings developed in XV-XIX century. Their color was considered to be good wishing.

I took these photos in January 2019.

At Easter the Dutch recumbent riders usually have a meet, so also in 2022. These photos are related to that.

I took this photo, out of my bike, just outside Amsterdam, the Netherlands, on the way to the meet. 15 April 2022

Group of velomobiles and other recumbents with some people talking
This photo was during the day, before the actual activities of the meet, people discussing the bikes/trikes, standing between the parked ones. Mine is the yellow one with blue details behind the men. Photo taken 16 April 2022, near Otterloo, the Netherlands.

    Striking, you get the virtual prize this month. (To go with the old radio show prize, free going up and down the escalators in your nearest station that has them, but not in the peak hour, then it will be too busy. Travel costs not included.)

Yellow background on the traffic signs near the entrance bridge to Helsinki's Korkeasaari Zoo. Picture (cropped in post) taken last Sunday with my Sony RX10M3 at ƒ/5, 1/50, 18.21mm, and ISO200.

According to Wikipedia on "Major differences between Finnish and general European signs":

Whereas European signs usually have white background on warning and prohibition signs, Finnish signs have a yellow/orange colour. This is for the purpose of enhancing the visibility of the sign during the winter, as white signs would be hard to see in the snow.
