Windows - Buy One Get One Free!

Chopin, I believe, said that nothing is more beautiful than a guitar - except perhaps two. I feel much the same about windows, so here are a few double-window images that have diverted my attention recently when I was supposed to be doing other things.


















OK, so number five isn't really a double window apart from being a sash-window which is made in two pieces. Some of them might be reflections from big mirrors inside the rooms, but that's half the fun of these photos - trying to figure out what's real, what's a reflection and what's a distortion. I can assure you they are all "straight" pictures though I've tweaked them a little to bring out the reflections to best advantage. And that last picture - well, I couldn't figure out what was going on till I got the photo home and had a good look at it.


Take care.

    LOL now you talked about the windows like a fetish...

    It is really good to see this variety of window photographs. Good to compile into a pamphlet for sure. So Chopin really likes guitar look?

    A room with a view, a view with a room. Lots of interesting shapes and effects. Particularly like the lattice window with the sailboat.

    Bravo, John! Number three looks like a ship assail in a garden, and the last image...well...it's just otherworldly. Thanks for sharing!

    The first one almost has this Southwestern flavor to it. Unusual for the old country. Like them all.

    Clever, John. OK, I'll bite, what was going on in that last shot?

    You have an incredible eye for a good photo John. And, like
    Wayfarin Strange - I don't understand that last shot either.

    The fourth photo is my favorite. I was in Germany last month and I think I took at least a dozen photos from inside, looking out through appealing windows. The ones I liked best were windows in which one side was closed and the other open, affording a view.
