I was going to submit these as COLOR, but then I saw that the weekly photo challenge now is CHANGE. And Jalousie is even more fitting for this theme; as the community on the hillside is being painted these days. I loved it when I first saw it – colors always make me happy, but there’s a lot of controversy in the picture too. Is painting houses the way to help a neighbourhood?
I met a journalist in Jeremie who’s running a website about ‘happenings in Haiti’ – follow THIS LINK for more about Jalousie and other interesting news 😉
Think of nothing 
Wow! That is a GREAT photo!
that IS an awesome photo… but I did get a laugh from the video….” I wish they fixed the houses first before they painted them.. its like putting on new clothes without taking a bath… they look fine until you get close enough to smell them.. “(paraphrasing) but i thought his point was interesting.. beautiful, compact close quarters, rugged region..
that’s a really great shot 🙂
I saw some of this on the news one evening. Looks good but……..?
Grant picture .
Vibrant colors and the overcast sky makes the picture incredible.
Ah, good for neighborhood to some extent. “Slum Tourism” is a craze these days!
Such an interesting photo.
great for either 🙂
I think the colors are uplifting, although they might not be the most needed thing. Lovely picture!

nice colors!! and I agree with your point, rather than painting the houses, the basic amenities should be provided first…like your photo-journalism 🙂
oh my… what a gorgeous photo!! those colours are just amazing!!
The colours really are beautiful! It’s a shame that they didn’t improve the living conditions and opted to to a quick fix for the facades, but hopefully this will draw enough attention and interest that more change will continue to happen!
That photo is fantastic! I love that the color makes almost an hour glass shape through the hill!
Wow I love your interpretation of ‘change’!
someone’s having so much fun !
Nice:)
Wow … colorful 🙂
I can only second what others have said. Wow! What colors! I love it. 🙂
Gorgeous picture!
Great shot!! Really impressive– your work and the architecture.
I love the colors
