Vines climbing a wall

I liked the color and pattern of the vines climbing the wall in this photo.  I don't know why, but in Latin America people seem to select deeper and bolder colors for walls and houses.  I, for one, am glad that they do.  It adds to the beauty and distinctive character of the locale.

Behind this wall was one of the beachfront homes in Playa Langosta.

This week we are showing photos of the animals and people of Tanzania on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site.

    There are some vines very similar to this on a wall near where I work. I love looking at the patterns they make.

    We conservative people do not often use bold colors, which is too bad because they brighten the landscape!

    The color contrasts are neat. I don't like the word verification though.

    I think I agree, the color adds something to the landscape if used in the right place. It sure makes this picture stand out!

    So, Bhutan and Cambodia?! Now I envy you! :-) It must have been spectacular, right?
