Where the Bourgeoisie dwell

I wandered over into East Beirut (which was held by the Christians during the war), and across houses with beautifully painted shutters like the one in this picture. Red, light blue and green seem to be the most popular with the occasional brown. Reminds me a bit of the bourgeois dwellings as featured in "The Battle of Algiers". All the same, very pretty.
