Other than that the windows are just plain squares or plain . . . rectangles. For some reason. . . . The color pink, I don't know why. I was trying to get a color of this building and the color pink kept coming into my mind. And nobody in their right mind paints a building pink. #6.5: Pink? #1: Yeah. But . . the color pink.

Like this. Its like a gateway. For some reason I had very strong impression of this stone gateway. And then there's like a very low thin wall over here like this.
