I happened across a photo gallery of Guanajuato, Mexico – what a colorful town! Why is it that most places have such a subdued palette for houses? Blue, grey, white, maybe yellow if they’re really daring. I love multi-colored buildings.
I just finished watching the short-lived French series Cinq sœurs (Five Sisters), and I’m very disappointed.
