yes - I much prefer this to the colour shot- black and white gives it more atmosphere!

Say "hi" to Old Man Pei if you see him, loved his tribute to his origins in Suzhou. Fascinating take Pei had for Suzhou Museum.

Jim,
Perhaps each house has a different color scheme and he doesn't like to repeat.
Or....he had to match the adjacent blue door leading to a private garden owned by an exclusive enclave of townhouses. His neighbors include/ have included Aristotle Onassis, I.M.Pei (the architect), the Secretary General of the UN (double townhouse), John Whitehouse of Goldman Sachs, and a select few whose names I do not know.
I live in an interesting neighborhood. :)

Actually, it doesn't explain the color of the door. Blue? From Heinz?

Very nice, Lilia. And that explains the door in the color shot.
