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.

I'd like to see roads colour coded.Wouldn't that look better than dreary black. If course they'd have to develop a tyre that wouldn't blacken the road,but if they put their heads together,I'm sure they could come up with a solution.:-)

LOL, Spot, the Russians wear sheepskin vests even in the middle of summer. And I can tell you, minus 35°C is less fun than 40°C heat.

Personal experience.

Thanks Lind, I never knew that, & it does make sense.

in the inner suburbs like Brunswick, Collingwood & Fitzroy, there are a few brightly coloured houses around, the arty younger generation have moved in there.
