Very beautiful street, Marilyn! I love the colors, and the splashes of light which I guess are from the windows across the street. And the whole thing is perfectly framed under the arch. I will put a yellow one.

Nice colors and framing, Marilyn. An intriguing view of a place much different than I am familiar with. Greetings, Larry

A great picture. The perspective is unique: as the lane goes narrower and deeper, and bends to the left, we are left to imagine a flight of steps maybe, but surely no dead-end.

I find it so fantastic that the blue and yellow of the last houses merge with the reflected red from the opposite facade. It really gives an impression of a kaleidoscope.

Cheers dear Marylin

Thank you, Ryan, Larry, picsonthemove, omshakti, Elemér, Sylvie, and Sonny. When our guide said that she was going to take us to her favourite street, I didn't understand, How should she have a "favourite street"?? But now I understand. I took one picture after another, and then when we got to the end and looked back, this was the view--the best view of all!

Marilyn I really didn't know which thumbnail to click on first (they are all gorgeous).

I love how you captured the colour pallet of the buildings! :)

Cheers, Pam

Thank you, Billy, Hank, Javier, Bruce, and Pam. Even though I'd had a wonderful time taking pictures as I walked up the street, it was a real "Wow!" experience when I got to the end and turned around.

Bruce, one place where they use color, maybe not quite so intense but nevertheless with abandon, is in Newfoundland. If you haven't been there, you should go! (Unfortunately, though I've been several times, I haven't visited since I've had a digital camera.)

Cheers, Marilyn

Such a pretty sight. So south amrican to paint the houses in so many bright colours. Thanks for taking me back a couple of years, Marilyn. Cheers, Christophe

Another that makes me want to visit this place, Marilyn. It must have been delightful to see all of this color and texture in the architecture, the clothing, the fabrics.. Beautiful! -alicia

Thank you, Christophe and Alicia. Although by this part of the trip I was accustomed to seeing lots of colour, I still wasn't expecting to see anything as beautiful as this.

(I hope you get there, Alicia. I want to see your photos!)
