I am very facinated by the old houses covered by tiles.

Great picture!

It is very common in Portugal to have tiled houses and especially churches with the beautiful Azulejo.

Nicely composed with the tops of the church and bell tower in the background.

Do-It-Yourself architecture has a natural organic quality that makes you feel at home, something the planners can never achieve, very well captured.

Slated walls were quite common around here but that was to keep storm driven rain out,

That is really cool. I want to go there

Quite a mixture of architecture in this shot.

Love the extravagant colors coming from the right and the monochrome to the left. Then there are the incongruous satellite dishes in the center. A fascinating image indeed. Thanks.

Outstanding, Janse. A delightfully colorful composition. The contrast between the tile covering the buildings and the satellite dishes is very interesting.
