Old little houses of Algarve

Visually lovely - like opening a small box of chocolates.
I find the repetition of essentially the same scene but with such huge differences of execution and decoration fascinating and compelling - and should remind us of the value of differences from our own assumptions perhaps.

Nice, but lacking the BBQ of sardines by the front door & the stork on the roof.

Thank you for your kind words.I deliberately chose the selection of simplest houses (one window,one door) to visualize that decoration may be way more diverse.

Sardines are popular towards the north of the country and not from the BBQ.And one can see storks there from far away only during autumn migrations.

It wouldn't be the first time this happened.Strange,but I saw pictures like yours repeated very often by so many too.
