Through The Window
I’ve always been drawn to the windows at Fort Langley National Historic Site.
Today, standing inside the cooperage and looking out into the courtyard within the fort walls, I can’t help but imagine someone doing the same thing nearly 200 years ago. Perhaps a cooper pausing from his work, or a clerk watching the yard. Someone waiting for a boat on the river.
These lanterns hang quietly now, catching the light instead of casting it. In black and white, the scene feels closer to the past. The distractions of colour fall away and what’s left is light, shadow, wood, glass.
I’m not trying to recreate history exactly. I just like to photograph it in a way that feels like it could have been seen back then. As if the window is still doing what it has always done, framing the world for whoever stands here.
Maybe that’s why I love these places so much. They let us look out and look back at the same time.

This scene appealed to my sense of symmetry and geometry. Taken at the old tile factory (lots more to come).

As they were demolishing the Muir Building these windows were made visible for the first time in over fifty years. In the name of greed and progress these windows and the building are no longer.
Staying for a week in a house on the side of a volcano in the north of Lanzarote. It's off track and eerily quiet (after living in London). Volcanic rock is used for the construction of the walls inside and as you can see through the window, the outside wall too. I liked the contrast of the green oven gloves against the wood and the rock.
Burano is an island in the Venetian Lagoon, northern Italy; like Venice itself, it could more correctly be called an archipelago of four islands linked by bridges. It is situated near Torcello at the northern end of the Lagoon, and is known for its lacework.
Burano is also known for its small, brightly-painted houses, popular with artists. The colours of the houses follow a specific system originating from the golden age of its development; if someone wishes to paint their home, one must send a request to the government, who will respond by making notice of the certain colours permitted for that lot.

Nota: Dia nublado, velocidade baixa, a tremida foi inevitável.
Bayonne is a fascinating city in south west France (I only recently discovered that it was ruled by England between 1151 to 1452)
I loved this window behind and this little guy thought of all kinds of poses. sometimes I wish I could take the kiddos home with me!
I don't even know the name of the town. I do remember it was in Northern Italy above Milan and close to the border with Switzerland. Near the very old town's round village fountain and down a narrow alley, there in the middle of a block-length 2 story high wall was this single tiny window. Across the window, set into the foot deep walls, was a handmade twisted iron bar. Tied to the bar with string was this pot and it's three lovely geraniums.
