subject: Puerto Vallarta's Colorful Portfolio [print this page] Check out the web's enticing array of photos, the ones that show off the good life in Puerto Vallarta, and you can expect to see a predominance of blues and greens in the palette. The sky is blue; Banderas Bay is blue; the sparkling water in the pool at your Puerto Vallarta vacation rental is blue. And greens they're everywhere, from the jungle that rises behind the city to the palm trees that line the Malecon.
Of course, brilliant splashes of color add a touch of spice just about everywhere you look. A sunset, for example, may decorate the horizon with a broad band of hot pink that melts into warm orange tones before fading into cool shades of velvety blue. The fresh flowers that dress up the patio table at your Puerto Vallarta vacation rental create a saucy red focal point on the blue and green backdrop. And fireworks light up the night sky with all kinds of color.
A perfect backdrop
It is hard to name a place that provides a more perfect subject for photographers, artists and folks who just want to surround themselves with naturally beautiful shades. No matter what time of day you choose to track down a lushly colorful backdrop for your activities, the area that surrounds Banderas Bay (including the city itself) will have something that's certain to fit your needs. And weather conditions add an interesting tone to the overall picture.
Take the shades of blue that make up the sky, for instance; the effect of light can play tricks on your sense of temperature. On a clear December day when the sun is high in a cloudless sky, the blue seems nearly white and the day can look hot, whether it is or not. In contrast, when clouds crowd out the sun in July, they display shades of muted and somber blues that can make you feel chill as you enjoy a cool beverage from the comfort of an air conditioned room. Step outside, though, and you'll find that the clouds may be cool but the streets are still plenty warm.
The point of all this? Perhaps it comes in the form of fashion advice: when you pack for your Puerto Vallarta vacation rental, include items that will look dashing when you take pictures against the blues and greens. On the other hand, it might be a way to get you thinking and help you choose the soothing ambience for your next holiday.
