architecture

Architecture can be a fascinating marvel, no matter how elaborate or simple.  Materials vary from place to place depending on economic levels; different textures can emerge and give the observer a feel for the local culture.

Throughout his walks on the streets of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, Clifford Day gazes at the colorful dwellings and lets his mind wander:

    

"The houses are stacked on top of each other, it's hard to tell whether the inhabitants have money or are poor; they all seem to live together.  Some look like they are in need of repairs and next door another looks as though it's falling apart, then next to that a very well kept one...I wonder how they do it...

I know it's the architecture of these buildings that caught my eye initially, but now I realize I am more intrigued and interested to know about the people who live in them..."
