This collection of windows awaits installation at one of Toronto's West Donlands building projects. It must be worth a lot. I know. Several years ago we replaced all the windows in our century home and the job didn't come cheap.
Incidentally, from time to time I reflect on the miracle of windows. For most of mankind's history we didn't have glass windows to let in the light and keep out the weather. Thank goodness for glass.
There was a fat white rabbit in my yard today. Then a little baby bunny hopped in to join the rabbit... I thought Punkin was going to hit the roof! Just to put Punkin over the edge, a large hawk swooped down into the yard in hopes of catching the bunny... but the bunny hid in the bushes just in time. Good bunny! Needless to say, Punkin spent most of the morning window shopping for things that he cannot have.
*The house is getting new floors so this is just the naked sub-floor waiting to have the real stuff put down.
Found at abandoned hotel in the Catskills. I love the planter hanging inside the window even though this place has been abandoned since 1960.
Great place to shoot!
I have recently read an article from a wedding photographer who never uses a flash. relying on natural light aided by an occasional reflector. Needless to say the results she achieved were remarkable.
It was in my head when I took this (unawares) portrait of an old friend of mine as he stared into space for a moment.

Designed by Francis Spear and dedicated in 1929, this window in the parish church of St Mary the Virgin, Eccles, Lancashire was donated by the sons of Dr William Worrell Mayo, in memory of their father. Dr Mayo was baptised in Eccles in 1819 but emigrated to the USA in 1845 and died in Rochester, Minnesota in 1911. His two sons also became surgeons and the three men worked together in St Mary's Hospital in Rochester when it was opened by the Sisters of St Francis in 1889.
In 1909 the father and his two sons set up the world's first integrated group practice, which is now the world renowned Mayo Clinic, with a staff of almost two thousand. The emblems in the window were specifically chosen to illustrate Dr Mayo's interests and achievements.
