So colorful! Nice.
Excelente reportagem fotográfica! Parabéns pelas fotos!
The paint store must have been out of neutral colors! Too much fun :)
What gorgeous colours! A friend of mine spent some time in San Cristobal recently, it sounded lovely. You would be cheerful here even with terrible weather, with all those colours.
Oh I love these and am reminded of San MIgual De Allende in Mexico that I visited first in 1986...the homes are similiar and I recall walking down the sidewalk peeking into open doorways seeing the jardin inside.. A special love of mine, you have captured the colorful beauty of this place perfectly..!
