Colors of Cabo Verde, a photo from Boa Vista, Barlavento

Photographer's Note

In Cabo Verde, it is traditional to paint the facades and walls of houses with bright colors like here in the village of Fundo das Figueiras in the heart of the island of Boa Vista (Beautiful view in Portuguese).

Bonjour Jean,
Que de belles traditions de peindre ainsi les maisons de couleurs vives !
Bonne id閑 ce collage d'un plan rapproch�, surmont� d'une vue partielle du petit village, qui m'a l'air bien agr閍ble et calme.
Jolie dynamique ajout閑 par ce jeune p鑢e et son enfant !
Merci du partage.
Amicalement.
Marie-Louise.

hello Jean, It is really the beautiful view. Nice diptych of pictures. Charming view of the street in the upper part and fantastic colourful facade in the lower. Good idea of the collage. Excellent compositions.

Kind regrads Malgo

ciao Jean,
beautifull colors: an art critic claimed that when the landscape does not give bright colors, man uses strong colors in his buildings, very good result,
ciao, Giacomo

Bonjour Jean,
Des couleurs et motifs tr鑣 attrayants sur le mur sur la photo ci-dessous.
La photo du haut peut aussi 阾re prise au Portugal. Logiquement, l'histoire de cet archipel. Une belle vue sur le centre du village.
Amicalement, Paul

Hello Jean,
A lovely colourful collage from Cape Verde; one showing a more expansive view and one going in close. Both well exposed with delightful vibrant colours and very good clarity.

Hi Jean.
These striking colors give a cheerful touch and although the houses are simple, they have a special charm, ideal for both colors and geometric details.
Colorful, sharpness and brightness are captured excellently.
Have a good weekend.
Warm greetings.
Luis.

Bonjour Jean,

La prise de vue permet de voir les d閠ails des maisons aux couleurs voyantes. L'ajout de l'間lise aide au cadrage de la maison. La qualit� de la lumi鑢e embellit les couleurs de l'image. Bonne journ閑.

Hello Jean,
Some very nice examples of the brightly colours houses, the scene of the little square, the charming church and the green and yellow house is wonderful and very well composed. The close-up photo of the red and blue houses is excellent too. The pattern on the door looks nice as well.

Hi Jean
Eye candy duo with all those splash of vivid colours and detail. It's neatly arranged that way to feast for the eyes and contrast is almost jaw dropping.
Lovely shot, Congrats
Best regards

Hi Jean
you put two photos here on the main page, cool, two for the price of one. look at the door on the bottom, its not even near being level, thats so funny! some people may say its charming. the top photo shows the simplicity of the homes, the colours really do spice it up.
cheers

Bonjour Jean,
I was curious looking into your gallery whether you visited Sal of Boa Vista but I see you were on both and in the same time.
I am worried that Boa Vista may not have much to photograph since the beautiful beaches are so flat to capture, but I see you managed to find some colorful scenes in Sal Rei, I presume.
Very well spotted, I need to visit the town as well then
M
