Weeping Window is a cascade comprising several thousand handmade ceramic poppies seen pouring from a high window to the ground below . This breathtaking sculpture by artist Paul Cummins and designer Tom Piper was initially conceived as one of the key dramatic sculptural elements in the installation ' Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red ' at the Tower of London in the autumn of 2014. Over the course of their time at the Tower, this sculpture and its companion , entitled ' Wave ' were gradually surrounded by a vast field of ceramic poppies, each one planted by a volunteer in memory of the life of a British and Colonial soldier lost during the First World War. In their original setting they captured the public imagination and were visited by over five million people.
"Quem faz um poema abre uma janela.
Respira, tu que estás numa cela abafada,
esse ar que entra por ela.
Por isso é que os poemas têm ritmo
- para que possas profundamente respirar.
Quem faz um poema salva um afogado."
"Who makes a poem opens a window.
Breathe, you who are drowned in a cell,
this air that enters it.
That is why the poems have rhythm
- So you can breathe deeply.
Who makes a poem saved a drowning man."
Mário Quintana
...with romantic and poetic decorations :)

View through an old, old glass window in our village. Makes our village look even older and more like a fairy tale. Riehen, Baselstadt CH

#4912 - 2021 Day 163: You've seen the view from this window many times. Now, here's the window itself.
This is in the mediaeval Great Hall at Shute Barton, a National Trust property in East Devon, England. This is the oldest part of the house. At one time, it was a vast manor house, but much of it was knocked down when a new house was built quarter of a mile away. This house, still large by our standards, became a farmhouse.
Working with the spotmeter again as not to burn the window highlights then balance the lighting and run the photo thru the filter gallery to finish it.
Some of my daughter's zinnias and a rose from her still abundant garden.
