I took this from inside the café at Mottisfont Abbey. We went to see the Christmas decorations based this year on a poem:
“Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse."
I only know the first two lines but the rest can easily be found online. There is some dispute as to the ownership of the poem.
The staff at Mottisfont have cleverly interwoven the verses into their Christmas displays.

Captured in my Russellville neighborhood for Window Wednesday.
This is in the same yard that had a cooler full if water bottles on very hot summer days.
A foggy, rainy day, and I notice the window is reflecting lights from our Christmas tree. We can usually see trees and houses across the way, but this evening all I can see is a very vague outline of some trees (top right).
I decided to post another of my 40+ year old images for Window Wednesday. This was taken on 120 Plus-X film with the great old Rolliecord TLR that I have passed on to my son-in-law. (I seemed to have a thing for windows in those days-I found a bunch of window images.) HWW
Art Deco frames the windows, if you like to follow the symbols like I do there is plenty in these walls.
Another view inside St. Mary's basilica, Gdańsk.
St. Mary's Church (Polish: Bazylika Mariacka, German: St. Marienkirche), or formally the Basilica of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Polish: Bazylika Mariacka Wniebowzięcia Najświętszej Maryi Panny w Gdańsku), is a Roman Catholic church in Gdańsk, Poland. Its construction began in 1379, or 1343 according to the official website. With its volume between 185,000 m3and 190,000 m3 is currently one of the two or three largest brick churches in the world, and one of the two or three largest north of the Alps. Only San Petronio Basilica in Bologna, comprising 258,000 m3 is larger, Munich Frauenkirche and Ulm Minster also comprise 185,000 to 190,000 m3. (Wikipedia)
this spot has it all: windows, benches and fences, even a weathervane in the far background :)
i think the window in the middle might actually be real ~grin~
from wikipedia......... Trompe-l'œil (French for "deceive the eye", pronounced [tʁɔ̃p lœj]) is an art technique that uses realistic imagery to create the optical illusion that the depicted objects exist in three dimensions. Forced perspective is a comparable illusion in architecture.

About 15 minutes from our home in Stonington, CT,
is the beautiful seaside summer resort of Watch Hill, RI,
where (if anyone is interested) Taylor Swift has a seasonal home overlooking the Atlantic Ocean! This is the local "yacht club" which has been deemed necessary for an uplift, due to the rising tides. Fascinating project!

HAPPY WINDOW WEDNESDAY(S) !!
Attic windows at the charming, traditional-fare Restaurant Pochtenfall in the Bernese Alps. The Pochtenfall is just a short walk away.
In German, "pochten" can refer to pulsing, pounding sounds, including the ones that a waterfall makes when it splashes hard, over and over into the pool of water below it. The Pochtenfall is quite loud. I think that its sound is amplified by the bare rock wall behind it. Here is a link to my Flickr photo of the falls:

Happy Window Wednesday!
Windows. Such an interesting subject to photograph. You can find them everywhere and they come in different shapes, styles and colors. You can even find natural windows in caves and rocks, or, if you let your imagination a little loose, even an opening through a dense forest could qualify for a window. I started looking for them a few months ago after seeing how interesting and cheerful photos of them some of my contacts post on a regular basis. And I do admit that my recent visit in Southern Lousiana was an excellent opportunity for windows photography. Lots of traditional buildings down there with windows of unique style. I chose, however, to show first these modern windows from a building downtown Lafayette, Lousianna. There was something about the geometry, the brick wall, the "no parking" sign, obviously the 4 windows that caught my eye. Perhaps it was the pattern one the wall and how the windows and the sign "broke" it.. So I clicked! Happy Window Wednesday everybody!

Παραθυρα. Ενα πολυ ενδιαφερον θεμα να φωτογραφισει καποιος. Μπορεις να τα βρεις παντου και ερχονται σε πολυ διαφορετικα σχηματα, στιλ και χρωματα. Μπορει κανεις να βρει ακομη και φυσικα παραθυρα σε σπηλιες και βραχους, η, αν αφησει της φαντασια του λιγο πιο ελευθερη, ακομη και και ενα ανοιγμα σε ενα πυκνο δασος θα μπορουσε να μετρησει ως παραθυρο. Ξεκινησα να τα αναζητω μερικους μηνες πριν αφοτου αντιληφθηκα ποσο χαρμοσυνες φωτογραφιες απο αυτα καποιοι απο τους followers μου ποσταρουν συχνα. Και η προσφατη επισκεψη μου στη Νοτια Louisiana αποτελεσε πρωτης ταξεως ευκαιρια για φωτογραφια παραθυρων. Πολλα παραδοσιακα κτηρια με πολυ ιδιαιτερο αρχιτεκτονικο στιλ. Επελεξα, ομως, να δειξω πρωτα αυτα τα 4 παραθυρα απο ενα μοντερνο κτηριο στο κεντρο του Lafayette. Ειχαν κατι που μου τραβηξε την προσοχη, ισως ο τουβλινος τοιχος, η ταμπελα "απαγορευεται το παρκινγκ", σιγουρα τα 4 ολοιδια παραθυρα στη σειρα, ενδεχομενως το μοτιβο του τοιχου και τα παραθυρα που το "εσπαγαν".. οτι και αν ηταν, με τραβηξε να κλικαρω. Και το εκανα!
