Very interesting if we think about all the times we have seen these decorative elements without paying much attention to them. I had no idea what they were called and I liked it. You illustrated and explained a bit of their history very well, it is something that is great to document. Despite the time and carelessness you got quite a few examples to photograph.
It is true that nowadays architecture tends to be more minimalist and conservative, which is something I like, and it defines this era, but it doesn't take away the charm of these colonial ornaments and it doesn't take away that there could be an interesting mix of both.
