Who and why
I started this blog in Jan 2007 as a member of the City Daily Photo family representing the village of Villigen. I'm a transplant to Switzerland and keeping the blog was a way for me to keep a record of new things I learnt while sharing with others. I was on a long LONG break, and now I post only sporadically although I still have hopes of posting more regularly. Thanks for stopping by and drop me a line if you have questions or comments.

Camera information
My current camera is an Olympus OM-D E-M10 (2014). Main lens: Panasonic 20mm f/1.7. Zoom/macro: Olympus M.Zuiko 60mm f/2.8. Until mid-2014 I had an Olympus PEN-EP2 (2010). Up until June 2010 I used a Panasonic Lumix FZ7 (2006). Occasionally there may appear photos taken with either a Nikon Coolpix 950 that I've had since 2000 or a used Nikon Coolpix 990 I acquired in 2009.

Lovely composition. I really like the colour combination. Well spotted!
Yes, it's a wonderful capture. Shutters are good subjects and these are colourful and simple, yet very visually arresting. The branches in the foreground makes for a good composition of subjects.
Nice shot!
I wonder if the shutters are different colors on the two sides. When closed they may match the interior better. Just a thought.
I am attracted by the marks the closed shutters have left on the wall - akin to an x-ray. I wonder what it is that the extremes of weather has been able to leach out of the timber to such an extent to leave such a stain.
Hi
There must by different families.
They live in the house.
At different times they ordered the painter for refreshing the shutters.
The marks on the wall are from the rain.
The adjustable slats duce the water against the wall.
Must be the westside of the house.
A hous with no overhanging roof.
Have you seen the left blue shutters.
They havn't as many slats than the others !!
All these shutters aren't industriel production.

Hi
There must be a motorway near the house.
The marks behind the shutters are from the air pollution.

Love the picture. Very nostalgic and European.
Great shot! I love the colours.
This photo yielded more comments than I expected! Thank you all very much for taking the time to write. :-) And welcome to some of my new-ish visitors: Marc, Birdman, Walker, White Oleander. I will come by and visit your blogs, but right now time is a little tight.
Walker, you're right, they're blue on one side and green on the other. As to matching the interior, I have no idea.
Julie: Not leached out of the wood, more along the lines of what Wellingtonia suggests. I wonder if some of it might also be a mo(u)ld-like thing, the wall area behind the open shutters gets less light and air so that could be a possibility.
Wellingtonia: See answers above. Different colors on two sides. Yes, westside. They raised the sill on the left ground floor window. Maybe kitchen or bathroom? The motorway: that would be our lovely Hauptstrasse. We have a lot of traffic (in my opinion) in comparison to the size of the village.
Simplicity at it's best. Lovely photo.
pretty pastel color-ed shutters... such a nice find, Z!
the post reminded me of another blogger's: it's an image which is imprinted on my mind indelibly i guess: have a look:
