Colourful buildings

I went to a collegue (and friend)'s house this evening. The terrace of her apartment building offers a fascinating view. On one side is a sea of other apartment buildings. On the other side is the runway of the old airport, stretches of green and a lake. And somewhere up in front, these two contrasts meet, balancing each other out.

When one looks only at the buildings, it's hard to believe one is in Bangalore. Yet, this landscape is very different from that of a city like say, Mumbai. After looking in that direction for sometime, the colours of the buildings started appearing very prominent. They created a palette of pastel shades, with strong accents of the blue water tanks dotting almost every terrace.

How interesting a collection in this colour story would be.

I'm in love with the colours of this country.
