Photo of The Day #57
If you know me, you understand that I love Colonial architecture, doors, windows and balconies. I am not sure exactly why I am drawn to that period. The magnificent arches, large doors mainly made from wood and over-sized windows are more than attractive to me. They are magnetic and pull me in. When you add the ornate and intricate balconies I get mesmerized and can never take enough photos.
I have hundreds and hundreds of photos of old wooden doors from my visits over time to Cuenca Ecuador, along with hundreds of balcony photos. It got to the point on my trip last March with Kim, that she was pointing out doors before I could see them. She began questioning whether I had a photo or not of each specific door.
Old Town Phuket Thailand
On my recent FAM trip to Phuket Thailand we stopped in old town and had about an hour to scurry down several streets and capture what we could. I loved this photo and even though it is kind of garish it drew me in. Thank you Thailand for giving me another source of joy!

Those buildings are so cute. They remind me of what I saw in Singapore and Malaysia.
My apologies. I have been under the weather and ill lately. Bad back. Yes they do resemble buildings from those countries. I have been to both countries. Malaysia just recently. Saw your photo of the Batu Caves on your website. Good pic!
