When walking through the downtown core of Aylmer, Quebec I found a few homes with that old world charm to them. It was fun to explore the town and then sit for a bubble tea at an outdoor cafe. Enjoy a wonderful Window Wednesday!
Happy Window Wednesday!
Yellow shutters on a building at 67 Rose St in Edinburgh, UK. I walked by these yellow shutters and door several times while in Edinburgh. Each time I passed them, I would admire their bright yellow colour and smile. On this very rainy day in Ottawa, looking at their cheery sunny colour has already brightened my mood 😊
Rose St: “Designed as part of James Craig’s New Town plan in 1767, Rose Street was named after the national flower of England, a consciously unionist paring with Thistle Street. In the 19th century, Rose Street gained a reputation as a seedy backwater, not a place for the respectable classes to be seen after dark…”
Today, Rose St is a pedestrian lane-way that is teeming with pubs, restaurants, shops, and tourists.

The registry office on Castlegate, next to the castle is a listed building and was built as a free library for the general public. You can still see the intricately carved inscription above the door “Gilstrap Free Library”. It got its name from Sir Thomas Gilstrap who paid for the building about 150 yrs ago.
A high window in Hundred Men's Hall, Hospital of St Cross and Almshouse of Noble Poverty.
The original purpose of The Hall was to feed 100 poor men a midday meal at the gates of the Almshouse. It now houses the tearooms, open from April to September.

💕Thank you for visiting my photostream. 💕
This is some random shot probably in Hamilton ON. I like the city of Hamilton. It has so many different looks.
I find the open sign annoying .... gall darn it.
Happy Window Wednesday
This lovely house on Balderton Gate in Newark, Nottinghamshire dates from the early 1800’s and is a rare example, in England, of a house with a full width cast-iron balcony.
The building has been “Listed”, that is it has been given protected status as a structure of significant architectural and historical interest.
A beautiful window with a lovely window box too. I've taken this before, but not from this angle.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)
at the Hospital of St Cross and Almshouse of Noble Poverty.
I love the different styles of architecture here, also the doorway that actually once was a door!
Enjoy all. Happy Window Wednesday...white frame is a window which in turn is reflecting another building which is reflecting light. HWW
My Mom had a late afternoon dental appointment on Monday that I took her to. Afterwards I joined her for dinner and then since I brought my camera along, I suggested we go up to the rooftop patio and watch the sunset. She liked that idea. We enjoyed the view and I also enjoyed the photo opp.
Downtown St. Petersburg, FL. You can see a cruise ship to the left of the first tall condo heading to the Sunshine Skyway and into the Gulf of America!
Happy Window Wednesday!
Window Wednesday
I took this the morning before we got our huge snowfall. I just love how the sky looked.
. . . sometimes the texture shots are just too awesome
to pass up. Happy Window Wednesday, everyone.
I'll be off and on for awhile . . .
Seen in Austria's main industrial city, Linz-an-der-Donau i.e. Linz on the Danube, in the province of Upper Austria. While walking to my hotel in the evening, I glimpsed this windowed facade glowing in the light of the setting sun. Luckily I had my 55-300 telezoom attached to my belt! Just a stone's throw behind me was the (Blue???!!!) Danube River.

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!
