I don't like to clean my windows, so have a lot of respect for those who are cleaning windows from a building from the outside hanging on a rope
Photo of the sunrise reflectd in the Sears store window taken for Our Daily Challenge: Reflection
Seen on my walk to the gym this morning.
I took this yesterday while I was in town as fraserpaul@btinternet.com and Helen Orozco had both commented on how interesting the attic windows looked on my photo from last week.

Thank you for your favourites. :O)
Trakai Park was founded in 1991 by the Lithuanian Restoration Seimas in order to preserve cultural sites of Lithuanian historical statehood along with their genuine natural environs. In this unique and compact ensemble of natural and cultural heritage, which reflects important periods and events in the history of Lithuania and eastern Europe as a whole, we can see a beautifully preserved cultural landscape centred on an historic town and castles which are nestled in lake land. Here there are traditional agricultural villages, fieldscapes and areas where primaeval natural formations still survive. The value of Trakai Park has been preserved finely and its special status has been recognised and protected by a whole body of national legislation.
The polyethnic town of (New) Trakai with its Lithuanians, Karaites, Tatars, Jews, Russians, Germans and Poles grew up beside the castles and had broad political and commercial links with European towns and their communities and traditions of mediaeval sacral, secular and defensive architecture, secular and religious art and literature. The town had a unique form of self-administration based on Magdeburg Law and from the fifteenth century autonomous Christian and Karaite communities governed their own affairs. Trakai was the centre of a separate duchy in the fourteenth-sixteenth centuries, which stretched to Brest Litovsk in the south (now part of Belarus) and Bir2ai in the north (close to the modern Latvian border), and it was an important residence of the rulers of Lithuania. Trakai was a favourite grand-ducal residence, an acknowledged centre for political theatre with hunting and diplomatic rituals, ecclesiastical holidays and trade fairs.
Lyon, France. Do you know the exact location of this building? It should be somewhere near Place de Bellecour and Place des Jacobins. Than you.
This image is one of three being incorporated into a montage for an upcoming gallery show...I'm tickled that my daughter still enjoys helping me out in front of the camera :)
Cheers!
