A yellow farm

Description

Painted in soft yellow, here we have one of these charming farms with its inevitable windmill, as is still found here in the northern coast area, in places where agriculture stubbornly resist to the pressure of urban development. It is even likely that "Quinta Amarela", Yellow Farm, is the name that can be read in the tile panel near the elegant entrance, this being one of the most common names, along with others shown before, with which this kind of properties are sometimes baptized. Yet the tone of yellow itself varies, from the softness noted here until certain tones now in common use, so intense that transform any structure, be it farm, villa or urban building, into a gigantic sort of egg yolk pudding with tiles...
