It's not easy to find the right horizon line sometimes, even if you have such a perfect measuring instrument as a glass of champagne:)
This row of houses that look onto the ponds have been built this year. A row of 5 townhouses which provide reflection of their lights into one of the ponds. HWW
... to our garden. The window should also be cleaned by someone ;-) Handmade figures from our daughter.

HWW friends!
Was away last week and just returned yesterday. We celebrated our boy being earth side for 10 years. It was quite perfect. I didnt have much time to fiddle with settings and luckily my camera was beside me on the table so I was able to quickly snap a shot before the light changed. We were sad to leave this view but I do absolutely love coming home. No better feeling than sleeping in your own bed and tub time in your own tub. This window now has a piece of my heart♡

When I shot this scene earlier today from our picture window,
I wasn't thinking about the "screen" in the left frame versus the clear glass on the right! Love that it's all the same view, although the screen does act as a filter!
The "philosophical" explanation of "screen memory" has always been of significance to me . . .
Happy Window Wednesday!

I so wanted to stitch these two pictures together into a two photo “mosaic” but lack the skill and/or the app.
Well, not the greatest shot, but a peek at our *pink* Christmas cactus which has many buds on each petal! It's so happy in our plant window with the naturally frosted skylight, caused by a crack in the glass! This particular specimen is similar to our other cacti because it loves to be rootbound! I just make sure to keep it watered! It flowers at every holiday, including Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter! LOVE this plant!

#WindowWednesday
It's been a while since I've posted something for Window Wednesday. This is another one from the archives, photographed at Easter last year. It's a detail of the interesting façade of the "Axel-Springer-Neubau", the new building of the Axel Springer publishing house complex. A large part of that new building's exterior consists of window facets that create a modern, almost spaceship-like look.
Axel-Springer-Neubau, also called Axel Springer Campus, was designed by Rem Koolhaas (*1944) of OMA Architects, Rotterdam, and was opened in 2020. Here's a link to the OMA/project website if you are interested in taking a look at the entire building complex and the interior (I so wish it were possible to photograph there, too!):

Axel Cäsar Springer (*1912 in Hamburg, † 1985 in West Berlin) was a German newspaper proprietor who published a wide array of newspapers (both "serious" and yellow press), magazines (like the teen magazine "Bravo"), TV guides, and such.
I apologize for making myself so scarce on Flickr at the moment. I'm very busy with work.
HWW, and Happy Hump Day Everyone!
The former bank in the semi ghost town of Glendale,KS.The town had many old structures 6 years ago when this was taken, and odds are the loan possibilities from this bank, or any other,were available to remedy the old town's situation....
(107/365) What I think is a Midge on the inside of my bathroom window the other night. Apologies for the quality, this was a quick iPhone shot. After his photo-shoot I let him out of the window. Happy Wing Wednesday & Happy Window Wednesday!

Southwell, a small town in Nottinghamshire has many small, independent shops and many of them are quite ‘individual’! This one is a gift shop that has a varied stock including some toys, greetings cards and tourist stuff! The window is very attractive and interesting to look at, even when closed as it was this Sunday.
Around Malta you will see many protruding windows like these, often brightly painted. They are typical of architecture found in countries that are Arabic or have a strong Arabic influence like Malta.
The design is called mashrabiya and is a type of projecting oriel window. An oriel window being a form of bay window which protrudes from the main wall of a building but does not reach to the ground. .
These are on the Triq il kibr in Sliema.
This house is on a street with a bunch of Victorian houses. Each one more beautiful than the other.
We shopped a couple of these a few years back but they were just a bit too much upkeep for me.
Happy Window Wednesday
Coming back through town after getting our second Covid shots, I took this photo with my phone. There was no where to stop here, and I had the same ‘we don’t stop for anything’ chauffeur. In fact, I think you can see our truck in the window.
Anchor Pharmacy supplies medicines for nursing homes and senior living facilities. I liked the blue and white color scheme. HWW
This tattooist place on The Old Market Place, Bridge Street, Worksop has been there for some years but could do with a bit of an external make-over as it’s starting to look very drab!
Spot the ghost signs on the brickwork above the shop itself - ‘Dresses Direct from Factory to Shop!’. Can’t remember the shop when I was growing up here but this small range of shops along the road have changed hands many times over the years.
I love that my flickr friend from Maine has the same kitchen window and also loves to post photos of her arrangements!
I also love that another flickr friend and I have an ongoing snail mail correspondence and tzotchkes sharing exchange! Three items on this sill are from her recent vacation!
So isn't it crazy when local people will question the friendships I've made on this marvelous photo sharing site? Aren't we all the lucky ones to share so much of ourselves through our photography?
Happy Window Wednesday, everyone!
Taken for Window Wednesdays.
Week 37 for View 52...I am still so behind with this that I'm not even sure of the weeks anymore! Sorry about the lack of comments...it's going to get worse before it gets better!
This window is in the toilet of a gorgeous tea room and B&B in West Runton, Norfolk. I had to go back in with my camera. The tea and cake was as fabulous as the window and I will definitely return. Will try to get a better photo too, people were waiting to use the facilities so I couldn't hang about, I loved the colours though so wanted to post this for WW. HWW everyone.
My grandkids spent ages over a series of shots I took of the ceiling and reflections trying to identify the people around them!
When I looked at this pic the night after I took it,I noticed what seemed to be the outline of a lady's face burned in the wall between these two windows. I suppose you could come up with a legend of a previous owner still watching over her home many years later...or just a water mark molded into the decaying wallpaper.I think I'll go with the face explanation,the mood inside this decaying old house matched it....
The holiday season hasn't been very bright in this old house for many years.Here's hoping yours is much better and have a great window Wednesday!
Cleaning the windows up high so those inside can have a view on those down below, or are they, I looked closer and it appears they are sealing the wall seams.
Well, almost anyway ... getting new front windows and a new front door. Finishing today. I'm pooped just having more workers here. They are wonderful windows and high impact for hurricane protection. The rest of the house is next ... when I recover from this ordeal! This is a little collage of the front two windows that are in already! Door today!
Happy Window Wednesdays to me!
Wish I'd added this before people got here and commented... oh well.
