All of the primary colors – red, yellow, and blue – are present on this boldly painted gate before a beautifully restored house on one of the Caribbean’s most prosperous islands. The light is as bold as the color – the interplay of light and shadow enriches the color with a three dimensional effect. Just as the peeling primary colors in the previous image symbolized the fury of nature, the perfect condition of these sleek colors tell us that whoever lives here appreciates beauty and has the means to maintain it. All of which provides a good metaphor for Willemstad itself.
