Took the dogs out for a nice leisurely stroll around the area where I live and decided to take my camera with me to photograph some of the tiles covering houses. These are just down one road, the road names at the top are obviously different roads, but also using tiles. There are some modern, retro and old style tiles around and each house has a different look. There's some with plenty of colors and others are just one shade with some pattern on it. Here in Portugal a lot of the older houses used these tiles to cover the outside, unfortunately due to lack of upkeep a lot of them are losing the tiles and most of them are irreplaceable. Downtown Porto also has a lot of houses with these type of tiles on it, I'll get around to photographing them eventually.
