I'll bet those windows let in a whole lot of light.

This deralict building was near Buu Long park and we took a lot of photos there.
Biên Hòa is a city in Dong Nai Province, Vietnam, about 20 miles (32 km) (30 kilometers) east of Saigon, to which Bien Hoa is linked by Vietnam Highway 1. In 1989 the estimated population was over 300,000. And now in 2005, population increased to 541,495, and some estimates show that the city has 604,548 people in 2007
Bien Hoa grew into a major suburb of Saigon (later renamed Ho Chi Minh City) as the capital city of South Vietnam grew. Following the First Indochina War, tens of thousands of refugees from the northern and central regions of Vietnam—a large portion of them Roman Catholics—resettled in Bien Hoa as part of Operation Passage to Freedom.
During the Vietnam War, the United States Air Force operated Bien Hoa Air Base near the city. Nonetheless, a significant number of the city's residents sympathized with, or were members of, the Viet Cong. Mortar attacks on U.S. and ARVN targets were frequently staged from residential districts in Bien Hoa.
With regard to entertainment, the city includes several amusement parks, night clubs and restaurants lining the Dong Nai River. Construction has increased rapidly (with many Western-style houses and villas under development), and the real estate market has experienced a series of boom cycles since the mid-1990s. The retail market still includes the many ad hoc bazaar-type markets and shop-fronts common to most of Vietnam, but now also includes air-conditioned, enclosed shopping malls, one of which, a Big C branch, includes a KFC restaurant, a Western-style grocery store, a bowling alley and video arcade, among others.

Shop window in Ashland, Oregon.
One of the never installed Tiffany windows bought by Sarah Winchester. Supposedly, one of the last windows comissioned for the Winchester house. It's likely that the Widow Winchester drew the design for this window herself and mailed it to the Tiffany glass company for them to execute.
There are 13 "jewels" embedded in the design of the window (see the notes to find them all). The number 13 occurs in several different places around the house including a 12-candel chandelier that had a thirteenth candle added by Mrs. Winchester's craftsmen.
The most expensive Tiffany Window on the property is installed in the house here.
This Web window hangs in the "garage" behind a large glass wall with dozens of other never used windows and unused rolls of textured wall covering. This shot by globalglenn is a wide angle that shows more of the windows on display.
And here is another photo of this window in it's current context.
The window is lit from behind with a single light bulb.
Terezin - The Small Fortress
From 1940 to 1945 the Small Fortress served as the prison of the Prague Gestapo. In 1994 a new permanent exhibition was opened here, devoted to the history of the political prison; it bears witness to the persecution of the Czech nation under the Nazi regime during the Second World War, and records the fates of Czech prisoners transferred to other concentration camps within the Nazi German Reich.
I see this van all the time as I drive by Echo Park Lake. In fact, I've taken photos of it on several occasions, but this was the first one I've been happy with.
Those windows are better than some of ones on our house.
Fourteenth in a series.
Window by Morris & Co c1908 on the north side of the chancel. Dating from after the death of Burne Jones the overall design would have been produced by his successor John Henry Dearle but re-uses Burne Jones's designs for the main figures. Medieval glass remains in the traceries.
St Michael & All Angels at Ledbury is not only one of Herefordshire's grandest parish churches but also one of its most rewarding. There is much to enjoy in this ancient building from its unusual architectural features to its interesting monuments and top quality glass.
The church is set back from the town's main street and accessed via a narrow cobbled alleyway, the view of its soaring spire beckoning the visitor onward. Upon arriving at the churchyard gates this massive building reveals itself to be full of surprises, most noticeably the tower and spire being detached from the main building and standing a short distance to the north of a beautifully detailed chapel on the north side (formerly dedicated to St Katherine) whose large windows are enriched with ballflower ornament. To the right the mass of the three-gabled west front greets the visitor, centred around the original Norman west doorway with its carved capitals.
Much of the Norman building still remains but aside from the west door the building has been modified and extended in the following centuries to the point that most of the exterior now appears to be of 13th or 14th century date. The detached tower dates back to the 13th century in its lower stages, but the topmost belfry stage and the tapering spire above are an 18th century addition by architect Nathaniel Wilkinson of Worcester. The spire is nonetheless remarkable for its sheer height, and visitors can often ascend the tower to its base during the summer months.
Inside the church initially has a vast, almost barn-like feel owing to the great space and somewhat low level of light, particularly as the eye is drawn towards the chancel which almost disappears into the gloom at first sight. The church is lit by a series of tall windows but the light they admit is more limited by the extensive collection of stained glass (though fortunately most of this is exceptionally good). The chancel is the oldest part, retaining its Norman arcades with intriguing porthole-like oculi above that would have been originally glazed as a clerestorey before the aisles were enlarged. On the north side (almost acting as a transept) is the former chapel with its large Decorated windows that is now separated by a glazed screen and is referred to presently as the chapter house. It contains some old fragments of glass and a fine effigy of a 13th century priest.
Throughout the church there are tombs and monuments of interest (not all well lit so at times the eye needs to adjust to the darkness) from the medieval period to the 19th century. Most of the windows on the south side are filled with rich late Victorian glass by Kempe, whilst in the north side is a more varied display with good examples of Pre Raphaelite, Arts & Crafts and more modern work by Burne Jones, Christopher Whall and John K.Clark respectively, in my opinion the most outstanding windows in the church.
Ledbury church is normally kept open and welcoming for visitors to this popular, tourist-friendly market town. It is well worth a visit, a well above average church!
This was taken at the school's library. There were these huge windows and ancient books. Great to have a model in town.
p.s. Real comments, not spam appreciated! Thanks. :)
I noticed the sun illuminating the windows of this small shrimp boat a bright orange. I just couldn't resist setting up the camera and tripod to allow the setting sun to burst through the window and produce the start burst. I'm quite happy with the way this image turned out, in fact it's one of my favorite images I've ever created, as of today anyway.

Nope... not photoshopped.
Well, yes, there was a fair bit of slider pushing done post-processing to make the colors/tones more... interesting... but there was no cloning or layering or anything like that.
That is, you really are looking through a physical window (of sorts) to the boys posing behind - all taken "live" and in a single shot.
Curious?
Stroll down the stream (or visit the boys blog posting for the day) to see how this was done.

I honestly hadn't planned on posting two entries for this week's Window Wednesday. Since I was playing with my camera in my room around 18:35 today, though, I happened to take this and decided that I might as well post it up. :3 (In fact, the last 10 or so photos were all taken in my room.)
(Yep, my bedside desk is messy, but it's neater compared to a few days ago.)
South chancel window depicting Simeon holding the infant Christ by John Hardman Studios 1893.
St Andrew's church at Cleeve Prior is marked by an elegant west tower dating from the 15th century though the rest of the building dates back at least two centuries earlier. It consists of nave and chancel and a simple south transept chapel.
There is some notable glass, mostly Victorian but also some from the Arts & Crafts movement. The church is happily normally open and welcoming to visitors.

Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words
That you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your innovation
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten, !!

Detail of upper storey windows at Harvington Hall, a moated manor hall near Kidderminster. Pity about the shadow to the right from a (doubtless-of-architectural-interest) drainpipe.

Afternoon light forms shadows behind a window at the Whitney Museum, New York City
This photograph was made near a window on one of the upper floors of the New Whitney Museum in Manhattan. At the west end of the upper floors, near the end of the main corridors outside the gallery, there are small windows that overlook the Hudson River and New Jersey in the distance. At some point on every visit to the Whitney I find myself standing next to one of these windows overlooking this view and trying to make photographs. (I have my rituals — I also go out onto the various terraces and platforms outside the east side of the building and photograph Manhattan and people.)
I don't think it is a secret that I'm attracted to patterns and shapes, and the angles of shadows cast by light coming through windows often interests me. I only partly see a subject like this as what it objectively is — I'm more likely to think of it simply as light and shadow and texture and shape.
