Domfront — couleurs

These are photos I took at Domfront in Normandy while I walked around with my camera, enjoying the colors of doors and storefronts. When you live in a place where the weather is often gray and the buildings are built with gray stone, splashes of color like these can really boost your spirits.

Above, a red door; the doors of a medical equipment store; and the sign on a crêperie/pizzeria (see the photo below).

A typical street in the hilltop town of Domfront. The population of the town was slightly above 5,000 in the late 19th century, but is down to 3,500 now.

The two storefronts with curtains on their windows appeared to be lived in and no longer used as shops.
