colour on colour
One of the things I love most about countries like India is how the buildings are painted and somehow it always rubs off and shows the paint from several coats before. I think it makes the buildings look beautiful, but i'm sure civic authorities might disagree with me!
Oh, I am glad that I am not the only one to find beauty in this kind of decay. I think that once time and the elements have had a go, the colours are more subtle and warm.

I'm sure it has to do with the weather: sunshine and humidity is cruel to paint! But I like it, too!
