Through Hotel Room Curtains
View allAll Photos Tagged curtains
Net curtains or glass curtains are often white, thin curtains that temper the sun's rays somewhat. They also prevent privacy when it is light outside, especially if no light is on inside and the persons or objects concerned are not directly illuminated by the sun. In addition, they can be very decorative.
Vitrage, seen from the outside, is hung in front of the curtains. Sheer curtains can cover a window opening completely or only part of it.
Baker McKenzie House.
Normally looks like a law firm building should. But it was decorated, and I expanded the decoration a bit.

It's amazing what you see when you do yoga on vacation. At the end of my online class, while laying on the mat, I looked up at the bottoms of the curtains that were pulled over to the side and saw these beautiful shapes. I never would have noticed them if I hadn't been laying down below them.
There are just a handful of flowers that are instantly recognisable no matter how you look at them. This is one such flower.

Misty curtains of rain in the Northern San Luis Valley, in Southern Colorado. For a sense of scale, note the distant houses close to the stand of trees near the left margin of the photo.
Thanks so much for all your views, kind comments and faves! I really appreciate them! Be well and happy shooting!
Best viewed large!
So the curtains are hanging and I've decided I will not climb them.Timon's Human was so kind not to hem them straight away and they make a cosy nest. I help the linen straighten out. Ain't it purrfect?
Where are you chilling this Sunday?
90024 propels empty stock from the 1724 Euston to Northampton 'Cobbler' service past a vibrant field of oilseed rape at Dudswell, south of Tring.
Locomotive haulage of peak hour Northampton to Euston trains ceased in May 1990... until a timetable recasting and a delay in the arrival of new stock temporarily reintroduced them 14 years later, in September 2004.
Two diagrams were introduced, both running empty from Wembley to Northampton in the morning, running into Euston for the morning peak, then repeating the pattern in reverse in the evening. Coaching stock was recently released ex-Virgin Mark 3 stock, whereas locomotives were hired from EWS.
Further delays in the introduction of new stock kept these working locomotive hauled until 15th July 2005. During the 10 months of operation, the last surviving class 87s occasionally appeared in lieu of class 90s. Another variation during this period was the appearance of this locomotive - 90024. 90024 was owned by EWS but was hired to GNER for use on the east coast mainline. However, through the early 2000s the locomotive worked across the 25kv network, including as seen here, on the west coast mainline.
'The Cobblers', as well as being the name used to refer to the locomotive-hauled commuter services operating Northampton is also the nickname of Northampton Town football club, a reference to the town's historical shoe-making industry. Despite a near-death experience in 2015, the club, founded in 1897, is still delighting fans in 2021.

Yesterday I ended my workday the smart way - I truncated it and went to a brasserie for coffee and after that beer with a dear firend. Walking back she lended me her tripod. :-)
The pedestrian in front was wondering if we were making a video ("I don't mind, I'm just curious") and I showed her this one..... and she liked it.
These really are curtains! (I just flipped the image sideways for interest and impact which seems to give it an all-encompassing progressive moment). It's part of a set of curtains which hang about 20' high on either side of the main stain glass/clear glass main window at St. Dunstan's Anglican Church in Aldergrove, B.C.
For each "season" of Church's liturgical year, different colours are raised: red, white, purple, black, etc. Not sure which "season" the multicoloured set is for.
I purchased an AC adapter for my camera and it arrived yesterday. I have been wanting to create some really fun and interesting time lapse videos but I knew my batteries wouldn't hold out long enough.
This video is of my bedroom curtains. One of my favorite things in my bedroom. I love how the light shines through them each morning and changes as the sun rises. I may try to record from the time I wake up until noon sometime to give a full effect.
The music in this video is suitable because this will truly be one of the things I miss when I move away from home.
The music is "Goodbye Sooner or Later" by oldDog.
Technical: I recorded video footage for 46 minutes (the maximum I can record on a 1GB memory stick). I imported the video into Sony Vegas Movie Studio (Platinum Edition). I speed the footage up as fast as I could, rendered it out in an uncompressed format. Pulled it back in and speed it up even more, rendered it back out. Pulled it back in, added saturation and luminance, music and exported. The reason I had to render it out twice was because Sony Vegas has a speed limit, I guess is a good way to put it!
I sit by the window.
Hands lock my knees.
My heavy shadow's my squat company.
My song was out of tune,
my voice cracked,
but at least no chorus can ever sing it back.
I sit by the window in the dark.
shadows in waves
behind the wavelike curtain crash.
A loyal subject of these second-rate years,
I proudly admit my finest ideas
are second-rate, and may the future take them
as trophies of my struggle against fate.
I sit in the dark.
And it would be hard to figure out
which is worse: the dark inside, or the darkness out.
