People always ask me about the banner I am using in this blog. Here in Egypt, in most of the poor districts, houses are unpainted. Simply, people there don't have enough money to paint them. The scene itself became so-Egyptian, and may be that's why I am using it here. Also one of my dreams is to be given paints, brushes, and the right to draw on those houses. I am not talking about painting them. What I really want to do is to draw, may be comic characters or whatever, on them. For me they are a big drawing surface that spans multiple buildings.

Very artistic point of view, however, just painting them first would be a nice idea :)

@Deee, I have no idea, for me it is a view from Google
certainly it became an Egyptian look for buildings in poor and non poor areas actually,i've always wanted to paint them all in white and blue, they will look beautiful..but usually el sokkan will say we7na malna so, kal 3ada they'll remain the same:(
