This is the office building at Delheim Wine Estate. I don't know what the contraption on the wall is…I thought a corking machine, but I'm not sure.
Come and join us with your wall photos on a Wednesday.

Have a great day, everyone! 😊
(PS Edit: Thanks to Johann, Alan and Jorden for identifying the contraption…a drill press/radical bottle opener it is. :-))
O Centro Cultural São Francisco está localizado no centro histórico da cidade de João Pessoa no estado da Paraíba. O Centro Cultural funciona em um complexo arquitetônico formado pela Igreja de São Francisco e pelo Convento de Santo Antônio, mais a Capela da Ordem Terceira de São Francisco, a Capela de São Benedito, a Casa de Oração dos Terceiros (chamada de Capela Dourada), o Claustro da Ordem Terceira, uma fonte e um grande adro com um cruzeiro, constituindo um dos mais notáveis testemunhos do Barroco no Brasil. Suas origens remontam à chegada ao local, em 1588, do Frei Melchior de Santa Catarina, incumbido de instalar uma missão franciscana. O convento foi fundado em 1589, com projeto do Frei Francisco dos Santos, quatro anos após a ocupação da região pelos portugueses, e foi concluído no ano de 1591 pelo Guardião Frei Antônio do Campo Maior, mas sua conformação presente é fruto de várias reformas efetuadas nos séculos XVII e XVIII.
on brick patchwork. Broken windows all in a column with a background of bricks in an assortment of colours and shades.
Gazing back at this bank of windows, I imagined they once provided a wonderful panorama of the yard. Nothing more cozy than looking out windows on a raw day from the warmth and comfort of one's own home. But now all of that is gone; the radiant indoor light replaced by inky blackness. This raw siding boards had darkened from moisture of recent rain, accentuating the sense of foreboding. There was no life here and there would be no life here; just darkness and faded memories.
From this window, Jane can see down the whole street. She can see if her squirrels are crossing the street or headed toward the house. If any are headed this way she can go running downstairs as fast as she can to spot them at the closest window.
She runs so fast we call her "tan lighting" as she is just a blur of fur sometimes as she passes. No one who has met her has seen a domestic cat who can run as she does: faster than a speeding bullet.

Settling off on their journey, those with window seats get their final views of Dublin as their Shamrock Aer Lingus A320 heads for the runway.
From snapping, texting or perhaps just watching the world go by, fasten your seatbelt.
I took this ages ago (2011) when we lived in Étampes, but it never made it onto Flickr. While I was clearing out my external hard drive I decided to use it, at some point, for the Window Wednesdays Group.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)
Well, the original picture was actually a view down from the roof of a 11 story high building into the inner courtyard. Reworked in Photoshop

I flashed back to childhood the other day. Not sure what triggered it. I'm never sure. The neurons in my brain connect somehow like an old-fashioned telephone switchboard. And suddenly there I am, mentally teleported to some distant place in time. In this episode I'm about age 12 and my bedroom was being remodeled. Mom said I could choose whatever pattern I liked for the wallpaper. I recall searching through absurdly oversize books contains samples of all sort of wall coverings. They passed by in a blur until I spotted the perfect choice: a Batman motif. I told mom the search was over, this was my pick. She looked at it disapprovingly and tried to steer me to other selections, ones that did not include cartoon characters. But my choice was firm and the decision was final. Some weeks later the new wallpaper went up. It should surprise none that it did not feature the Caped Crusader. It was just some abstract floral pattern that looked just like the wallpaper elsewhere in the house. Mom knows best I guess. My brain circuits cut out at that point and I'm back in the present wondering where the hell that came from. And then I came across this photo from a series I did a couple of years ago. It was never published, then subsequently lost in my recent hard drive crash fiasco. But miraculously it just resurfaced in a group of recovered files. And immediately the connection was made. Just like the Batman wallpaper would have increased the awesomeness of my childhood bedroom, I was absolutely awestruck by the vines in this photo. Love how they snake their way up the wall and across the window panes. There's a drippy, creepy-crawly effect that enhances the look of abandonment. It elevates the dreary to a new plateau, more of a haunted house vibe. I remember staring up at the window at the time, thinking how I couldn't quite believe what I was seeing. Batman lives!
Photography is a great uniter of countries, cultures, neighborhoods, families and friends. I’ve started a group named Photo-Phactory. Please share your best images with me.
This cat watched me intently as I walked by his window yesterday.

HAPPY WINDOW WEDNESDAY(S) !
Well, only a bit of the actual window shows (upper left). However, the shutter and the androgynous little metal shutter keeper are certainly window stuff.
I think this is interesting on a composition level, but as per the caption, I am worried about the wires. It seems it wouldn't take much to create electrical trouble.
What if the wire insulation deteriorates more and some snow or wet debris connects the shutter keeper to both window wires? I wonder if I am beginning to sound like the world's most famous worrier about little things, Woody Allen.
