That’s weird.
well it is a pretty building with all those things on the side, tho i have never seen a painting of it, nice shot!!
Looks like a calendar image. You have several that fit into that category. Perhaps you should find out how much it would be to publish one.
Beautiful scene, and yes, that red building is the center of my attention . !
It’s an interesting trivia question for sure. Nice photo as well!
Outstanding!
An excellent composition and what a wonderful seascape, well done!
That is strange… but it is definitely a nice little harbor!
Tonos agradables de ver, una foto muy bonita.
Saludos
It certaily looks like a prime place to paint and you have capture in photo very well :))
A fine shot of this most painted site. The boat basin adds to the charm of the shot. Well done.
interesting info, andy!
wow, so i guess they paint it over and over all the time? that’s cool..
No wonder, Andy. It’s an idyllic scene!
I love this building..have photographed it often. Too funny about the wikipedia bit of trivia. Could it possibly be true?!?!? Wonderful image!!!
Ya who knows if its true. I dont know how they could know what building has the most people that paint it to tell the truth! But still fun to think about it.
I like the red and blue colors.
I really like the balance in this shot…the colours are superb. Interesting Wiki info…hmmmm
That’s a great find! I would have never known this place to be the one. =]
well, it is really nice. wouldn’t have guessed that bit of trivia.
I never knew that at all, good to know. Great snap.
Perfect use of the natural lighting.
