Clunky

We came across this neighborhood one evening on our way back home from a supermarket, and I was so intrigued by a gate I wanted to go back and see more. It’s not as upscale a neighborhood as the one I photographed last year, but I always find it interesting to see how people live here.

There is just something about some of the architecture here, sort of clunky in my opinion.

An impressive gate, posted earlier:

Lots of square angles, but non the less quite a nice house. I like the line up of palms also. V

Fresh and clean looking, and I like your point of view!

I'm intrigued by the high walls. Are they for shade or to keep out burglars. I wouldn't think crime is a problem.

The nicely placed palms break up the clunkiness :) V

The palmtrees give it a more friendly look.
