Cuenca, Ecuador: The Balconies & Windows - Gallery 1
Los Balcones y Las Ventanas

Indeed one of the most fascinating aspects of Cuenca is the mighty presence of artistic, wrought iron balconies, and the decorative windows and doorways they adorn. The city of two stories is lined with narrow balconies overhanging just enough of the sidewalk to keep one person intermittently dry during a rainshower.
One of the larger balconies to be found, white with beautiful silver and gold lining, reminiscent of Spanish royalty.
Bold purple and green.
	Beauty through modesty.
I think someone breathed a few too many fumes when painting this window frame.
	A few buildings in town incorporate Indian influences, such as this 3-story edificio.
A closer look at one of the same building's balconies, with a rounded design instead of the typical rectangle.
	Another building sporting an Indian flare. The sign at the bottom says "Me. Well made in Ecuador."
Again, a simple concept that works. But notice the detail in the trim above the door. next balconies & windows gallery
