How cunningly these homes are painted! A kind of tromp l'oeil effect. Neat.

I love that blue door. I found out not too long ago that blue doors are supposed to bring you good luck, if you believe..and only if you believe!!

Very nice colors - quite exotic. The only thing I could think to change is maybe get a bit closer or zoom in past the street curb and car antenna.

G'day Ray,
This is an interesting streetscape. I'm guessing something about these two little abodes felt *quintessentially* Portuguese to you and I can see why. I've not been there yet but I suspect your photo captures the strong light, not just the colours of the building. The car and antennae is a bit of a drag but what can you do? What I really liked was how much difference in character/personality I found between the owners of the two little abodes, just from looking at the front of their homes. :) A nice capture.
Mikel.

Do I need to look in a mirror to see myself?
