There's nothing like a drive through the coast to There's nothing like a drive through the coast to lift one's spirits. Blue skies, white-sand shores, sea breeze, lively people and brightly painted homes dotting the landscape form the cast of a wonderful show that coastal Karnataka presents. Reminds one of the Louis Armstrong song: What a wonderful world! . And if you are wondering why the homes along the coast are brightly coloured: a quick google search threw up an article on Conde Nast which had these possible explainations: "...that brightly painted homes and the fishing industry correlate in a few ways. The paint on these buildings helped the cities and villages stick out visually on the shorelines, a clearly helpful tool for sailors approaching land. Also, fishing boats were painted vibrantly, and much of that excess paint could be diverted toward buildings. "And, functionally, many of these cities are in warmer climates… and bright paint is useful in reflecting the sun's heat, keeping the interiors cool,"..." . #coast #beach #beachvibes #mangalore #udupi #deltabeach #houses #cinqueterre #karnatakatourism #karnataka #fishinglife #coastalkarnataka #colours #summer #karnataka #indiapictures #shotononeplus #mobilephotography #phonephotography #travelphotography #kodibengre
