All the colours of the rainbow...........

Tlacotalpan must be the most brightly-coloured town in Mexico, and at present it displays the most crazy colour combinations cheek by jowl as I showed in my last post.......... But what if a government decree insisted on stringent colour-coding with all the colours of the rainbow regulated and reassembled into streets of only one colour. What might the town look like then??







































































































Which street would you choose to live in?? I think I would have to reveal my inner Barbie and plump for the pink street!! Or do you prefer the town in reality without the fantasy colour-coding??

Answer.....very gay! They'd be some great carnivals, I'm sure!

just a fanciful visual creation with colour - nothing more to it than that...

Wow! Catherine, where did you get this town from? :-) Unbelievable. Great shots.

Greetings from Kuala Lumpur.

The houses in Iceland are very colourful too but nowhere near as brightly coloured as the as these which have to compete with the fierce Mexican sun.
Beautifully presented post.

I would have a very hard time choosing between the pink and the purple streets!

I left a comment on this but it disappeared! Like you, I love the candy-colored pink town but I'd go with my favorite purple. i actually would mind being surrounded by any of these vibrant colors.

Flygirl - maybe it was the comment on the post before this which was also about this town?? have a look and see for I have been a bit obsessed this week with writing about this place - so pleased you like it!!

Catherine said...

Wanderlust - i know what you mean it is such a hard choice as this town was just so beautiful...

They're all gorgeous!! I'm normall a 'red' person but feeling drawn to the green and the blue - maybe they'd be calming places to be. I'd love to go this town some day, colourful places are so inspiring!
