Watch the video
A 64 year-old man in Istanbul decided to brighten people's days by painting rainbow colors on the old, gray, crumbling stairs near his house.
When municipal officials sent workers after nightfall to hurriedly repaint the stairs gray, a quiet revolution started on Twitter.
Not only did volunteers come out to repaint those stairs that Huseyin Cetinel had spent hundreds of dollars on, they started painting other stairs and walkways in other cities around Turkey posting photos on social media.
A very colorful Pandora's Box had unwittingly been opened.

Spot, Sandringham is just a stone's throw away , so you were very close. The bathing boxes are all along the coast, even up as far as Mornington/ Mount Martha.
Ii's great that they've been preserved, they cost heaps to buy if one comes onto the market now. They have no power or water, just sheds on the beach really.
Wish I was at the beach today, it felt hot, but it didn't reach the forecast maximum today

hey I think I remember seeing a couple of those at a pub somehwere.
Those old red phone booths also sell for a small fortune these days (not as much as the bathing boxes though)
I know you've had it tough re: the weather in SA this summer
hang in there

Lotsand lots of years ago, when I first came to Australia, when driving through some Melbourne suburbs I saw quite a few houses with bright blue trims and doors. When I asked my husband about the copy cats blue, he told me that those houses belonged mostly to Italian families. They used to get some special meats, smallgoods and fish delivered to their homes, and it made it easier for the delivery man to find their houses.
I thought that was a brilliant idea, as some Italian person lost in the suburbs and with little english would know they could find someone to talk to and ask directions.
As I said, that was many, many moons ago.
Life was more peaceful then.
