SLC-S29/W3 | Geo-Quest Mystery - The Color Hunt

Hello Steemians,

This post is my official entry for Geo-Quest Mystery – Week 3: The Color Hunt.
For this challenge, I did not search for a place where color is freshly painted or intentionally displayed.
Instead, I focused on a color that has stayed in place for years, quietly shaping the identity of its surroundings.
I chose the yellow wooden doors of the old Medina of Tunis.

Why I Chose This Place

The Medina is not designed to impress quickly.
It reveals itself slowly.
As I walked through its narrow streets, one color appeared again and again not in a loud way, but with persistence. Yellow doors stood between stone walls, facing the same sun, carrying the same dust, and aging at their own pace.
This repetition is not accidental.
It belongs to the rhythm of the place.

The Story Behind the Doors

Walking deeper into the Medina, the repetition of yellow becomes clearer step by step.
Each door is different. Some are tall and heavy, others smaller and worn. The wood shows cracks, layers, and marks left by time rather than decoration. Yet the yellow remains sometimes bright, sometimes faded into gold or sand-like tones.
The black metal studs, hinges, and iron details give structure to the color. They form patterns that feel both functional and symbolic. Some designs are strict and geometric, others more free, but all of them share the same purpose: protection.
The stone road beneath these doors is uneven and quiet.
The walls are muted and aged.
Against this background, yellow becomes warmth rather than attention.
These doors do not invite the eye.
They guard what is behind them.

Speem.watch Proof Video – Five Objects, One Color

This Speem.watch video was recorded on location in the old Medina of Tunis.

In the video, I present five different yellow wooden doors.
Each one differs in:

• shade and aging of the yellow
• size and structure
• wood texture
• metal stud patterns
• overall presence

The focus is on material, consistency, and real observation rather than movement or narration.

A Detail for Attentive Observers

Although this Color Hunt centers on one dominant color, not everything in this place fully follows it.
In both the video and the photos, there is a small element that briefly steps outside the main tone. It appears naturally, without framing or explanation, and remains part of the scene rather than the focus.
It is easy to miss.
It is also impossible to remove.

Those who watch carefully may notice it.

What This Stop Represents

In Week 1, I defined where my journey began.
In Week 2, I explored how a place speaks through sound.
In Week 3, this place shows how color survives time.

The yellow of the Medina is uneven, faded, and marked.
That is exactly why it belongs here.

Final Thoughts

Color does not always need to dominate loudly to define a place.
Sometimes, it stays long enough to become part of the structure.
For Week 3 of Geo-Quest Mystery, this stop represents endurance not through movement, but through presence.
