Before They Were Purple

Purple is not a common color in Beirut.

Still, I might not have noticed these shutters had I not taken their picture only a week earlier, back before they were purple.

I liked the color progression. And now that it's purple, I like that too.

  4. I like the purple too, it blends nicely with the walls and the green shutters.

  5. Hm, I prefer the older red - blue combination :-) But hey, it's not my house.

  6. I took the original (pre-purple) photo because of the amazing color progression from green to red to blue. Although all three colors are common in Beirut, seeing them all mashed up together was different, new.

    So it's strange that although purple is unusual and novel it took away the variety of the original . . . so I don't think I like it as much.
