Two benches outside the windows of a San Francisco restaurant
At the end of April I spent a couple of hours shooting through the golden hour and on into the evening in San Francisco, mostly exploring along The Embarcadero on the shoreline of San Francisco Bay. Our group first wandered out on a pedestrian pier, where we hung up through sunset and into early twilight as the light faded from the sky and city lights came on.
Soon I left the group — I had a long drive back home — and wandered along the Embarcadero as I headed back to my car. Photographing into restaurant and club windows intrigues me. There is often a striking contrast between the interior world of people having dinner or drinks and the exterior world of very quite urban landscapes. Here a couple of unoccupied benches sit beneath windows, with more colorful lighting and a number of patrons inside.

The "Cabin Window at Star Park" refers to a 2011 photograph looking downriver from the boat launch at Gold Star Park on the Coosa River in Wetumpka, Alabama, capturing the scenery at twilight. The area, known for its scenic views and nearby "Big Fish" movie sets on an island, features tranquil riverfront scenes.
Lüftlmalereien zieren die Häuser in Mittenwald und Oberammergau.
Dass sich in beiden Alpendörfern eine so reiche Bilderwelt entfaltete, hat mit ihrer Lage an der von Venedig nach Augsburg führenden Handelsstraße zu tun, auf der nicht nur Waren, sondern auch kulturelle Errungenschaften ausgetauscht wurden.
At Kyichu Lhakhang near Paro, Western Bhutan.
The Jowo Temple of Kyichu is one of the oldest temples in Bhutan, originally built in the 7th century by the Tibetan Emperor Songtsen Gampo. It is considered to be one of the 108 border taming temples he built. In the 8th century the temple was visited by Padmasambhava and it is believed he concealed many spiritual treasures here. In 1644 the temple was taken over by Ngawang Namgyal. From 1836 to 1838 the temple was restored and re-consecrated by the 25th Je Khenpo Sherab Gyaltshen. In 1971, Kesang Choden Wangchuck, the queen of Jigme Dorji Wangchuck built a Guru Temple next to the old Jowo Temple which was consecrated by Dilgo Khyentse. Ever since then the annual rites of great accomplishment for the deities Vajrasattva, Palchen Heruka, and Vajrakilaya have been held in this temple for the well being of the country under the patronage of Kesang Choden Wangchuck. There is a belief that the two orange trees in the courtyard of Kyichu Lhakhang bear fruit throughout the year.
The temple is part of a network of 12 temples arranged around the Jo-khang temple at Lhasa. All of them were built in the time of King Songtsen Gampo.
Today, MoniqueDK and I visited the 'Royal Routes' event in Delft: several guided walks through the centre of Delft, to visit places normally not accessible to the public. On one of these tours, the 'Picture Perfect' tour dedicated to fashion photography, I saw this mannequin looking out through the window in a small artist boutique.
I slided this picture to give it the feel of yesteryear, though if you look carefully at the print of the dress, it is not so old-fashioned. and shows the trademark of the artist.

EXPLORE
St Nicholas's church at Loxley clearly dates back to pre-Norman times, with herringbone masonry surviving on the north side of the chancel, though the building we see today is the result of later rebuildings in the late 13th century and again in the 18th century; which left a mostly Georgian church with a medieval tower.
The exterior is most attractive and it's chequered history is readily apparent, particularly the south vestry wall which is largely composed of reused 17 th century gravestones.
The interior is very light thanks to the characteristically Georgian plastered walls and plain glazing (a recent window of St Nicholas in the south chancel wall is the only stained glass). The most obviously ancient areas are the north wall of the chancel and the plain chancel arch which is presumably Norman. There is also a 12th century pillar stoup to the right of the altar. A contemporary touch is added by the lectern which has an embroidered design by Anthony Green.
The nave is entirely 18th century except for the 13th century arch leading into the base of the tower. A c1250 coffin lid with foliated cross design is displayed here.
The church is generally kept open for visitors though I nearly gave up after my first attempt having found the west door rather stiff!
