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.

O Centro Cultural São Francisco está localizado no centro histórico da cidade de João Pessoa no estado da ParaÃba. 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 concluÃdo 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.
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!
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 still occasionally stop by this group of abandoned houses for a shot or two. On this day, I was interested in windows.
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

The vagaries of the weather at the remote treeless Blea Moor in the Yorkshire Dales is a constant challenge for those of us intent on photographing trains on the Settle and Carlisle line. The ever changing weather and light can be intensely frustrating but also extremely rewarding. One minute the landscape can be bathed in sunlight followed literally seconds later by shadow with moving clouds associated with frontal systems. This is well illustrated in this upload of an early evening train crossing Batty Moss (Ribblehead) Viaduct, in a window of sunshine whilst the rest of the landscape is in shadow. Details; 66725 working the Doncaster Royal Mail Terml to New Biggin (Gbrf) containerised gypsum, crosses Batty Moss (Ribblehead) Viaduct as it heads north across Blea Moor.
