Doors and Windows of the World

If there is one thing I have noticed in my travels, its that all over the world as building styles change so do those of windows and doors.  Notably, the colors of these doors and windows change too.

One of the most memorable occurrences of this is in Greece, where all over, but most notably on the islands, the doors and windows are often open air and colored blue and white.  They have become a symbol of the Greek culture  and add a beautiful elements to the buildings they belong to.

Another example is the colored doors of Ireland.  Throughout the small country are regular doors painted very, very irregular colors.  Like the blue and white windows and doors of Greece, they have become a symbol of the country.
