29th January


Cityscape


I have always wondered if high rise buildings would feel less oppressive if they were a warm, sunny, pink, instead of grey, or white and metal colours. Wouldn't city life feel more cheerful? I couldn't help but smile when I saw brightly coloured buildings along the edge of a canal/river in Spain, and buildings in 'undercoat pink', and intense vicks-bottle blue cottages in the UK. Perhaps we should be paying more attention to the colours we surround ourselves with, maybe carefully chosen colours would make the grimmer parts of our cities a little less grim.
