Lisbon’s windows are full of character. I had to stop myself from taking thousands of window pictures. Here’s a small selection of them, each one very different:
Cute 🙂
Elaborate and detailled!
Creative!
Crumbly…
Very 70’s
…and typical, with the decorative tiling.
Linked to Dawn’s “A Lingering Look At Windows” challenge.
I love reflections, and the way the windows on the one side of this building distort those on the other side caught my eye on an otherwise exceedingly dull grocery shopping trip this Tuesday.
And, of course, they make a perfect entry for Dawn’s weekly photo challenge 🙂
Somebody’s keeping them all nice and shiny!
Have your eyes gone all funny…???
My entry for Dawn’s Lingering Look At Windows photo challenge, taken yesterday in the stairwell of an old building in Toledo, where a friend has just bought a flat.
Toledo has an endless supply of rustic (or should that be rusty?) windows. Here’s my contribution for Dawn’s Lingering Look At Windows photo challenge:
Starting with something regal…
I love a nice reflection
Reflection of the Cathedral spire
A bit sinister, this one… the iron grate, ugly though it may be, struck me as unusual
This weeks’ contribution to Dawn’s A Lingering Look At Windows features another couple of windows from Toledo, this time of the run-down variety. OK, make that even more run down than usual.
It WAS once a window, so cut me some slack here…
A highly curious widow arrangement… the mind boggles! I like the textures of that crumbly wall. In great part because it ain’t mine!
Last weekend, I was able to take these photos, thanks to my lovely new friend Lorena, who provided me with me access to an historic building’s ‘turret room’. Totally worth huffing and puffing all the way up there!
This is my entry to this week’s A Lingering Look At Window’s photo challenge laid on by Dawn.
Usually, participants post pictures of intriguing and fancy windows from the outside, but today, just for a change, I’m approaching the task from the inside out, giving you a glimpse at the beautiful city of Toledo framed by a window.
I’m not usually one for blowing my own bugle quite so unashamedly, but my entry to this week’s A Lingering Look At Windows photo challenge seriously rocks. In my opinion, anyway.
Without further a do, let me give it to you: The World’s Smallest Window, according to the Guinness Book of Records (though, I admit, I’ve not double-checked this factoid):
Here it is, with my friend Reyes, who works as a guide in Toledo, and who kindly pointed it out to me
It’s not just a hole in the wall, it has a proper window cross and everything. Don’t ask me what the Arabic inscription means, I haven’t the foggiest.
The embarrassing thing is that this little gem is less than 400 yards from my house, and I’d never noticed it until last Tuesday, when Reyes gave me a free tour!
Another photo challenge. This is getting out of hand…! But here I am, in the thick of it, thanks to Dawn’s Lingering Look At Window’s weekly challenge, which she puts on each Thursday. I’m submitting a handful of window shots I took in Bavaria during my annual family visit a couple of weeks ago.
The first two are typical Bavarian farm houses, snapped in a town called Kochel-am-See:
Window boxes replete with red geraniums are a very Bavarian affair 🙂
A farmhouse in Possenhofen, by Lake Starnberg
Windows of a Department store in the heart of Munich, which has also kept to the national geranium theme!
Windows of a house in a residential street in Landsberg. Not Geraniums, but very nice and kinda quirky 😉
