Photographer's Note
I wandered across the Colonial Zone in Santo Domingo, in the hopes of finding a beautiful and rich architectural landmark with an odd-numbered motif, as I was trying to use the "Rule of Odds". Suddenly, this old abandoned house in the Padre Billini street captured my attention. Not only it has two doors and a tall window, but also the turquoise wood creates a nice compliment to the rusty old wall.
I was told this place has been abandoned for decades and it really shows. To create some visual context, I asked my very own Isabella to walk in front of the house. So, she's the new thing on an old scene, that is both beautiful and rich in its own way.

Hola Dario,
This may be an abandoned site, and one that needs some repair, but it has a lot of beauty, too. The color of the doors and the peeling walls are charming. Having three doors in the frame, and the young lady walking by, make this a well-composed scene. Take care!
