Your title a neat little tongue-twister! First one; great reflection; the second one grabs me; love seeing the tracery of branches through that one. Antiques store offers the come-on-in appeal with the lights aglow. Nice series John.
I like the way the old glass in some of the windows distorts the reflections. The tree branch is beautifully framed in the ruin pic. It looks rather like stained glass with the dark outlines. And as to fenestration - C'est comme en francais, n'est-ce pas?
These are wonderful... I like the descriptions you give, each window is like a person with its own character. I especially like the window/view of the ruins.
Thanks for commenting everyone, I love hearing from you all. I think that 'fenestration' and 'ffenester' and, for that matter,the French 'fenetre', come from the Latin 'fenestra'. 'Window' comes from the Danes or Vikings. (I think!)
Thanks for taking the time to comment. I'll try to answer any questions via a comment or e-mail within the next day or two (no hard questions, please!).

ReplyDeleteThe welsh word for window is ffenester!
ReplyDeleteI have never heard the word "fenestration," but I do remember the "defenestration of Prague" from history classes. Do you remember that?
ReplyDeleteThe sunset reflection is terrific.
Good show, John. I, too, am drawn to windows and have collected a bunch of photos of them. Jim
