I was flipping through some photos from a trip to Bordeaux last year and this distorted window reflection seemed to be looking at me!!
The wind kicked up the dust this afternoon before the storm. When the rain finally fell, it literally rained mud. I probably didn't do the dirty windows the justice they deserve. Time to wash the windows but I guess I'll wait for the SNOW to stop falling.
ODC - windows
I got a chance to explore the University Club in Detroit this morning, and my favorite part from the outside also turned out to be my favorite part from the inside; the leaded glass windows which are surprisingly largely intact.
This is the bay at the East end of the building, with a little replication just for fun.
Week 2. 52 Weeks of Detroit.
“And sometimes it seemed that something never seen yet long desired was about to happen, that a veil would drop from it all; but then it passed, nothing happened, the riddle remained unsolved, the secret spell unbroken, and in the end one grew old and looked cunning …or wise…and still one knew nothing perhaps, was still waiting and listening.” ~ Hermann Hesse,
Narcissus and Goldmund.
Windows on Paris
While walking through Paris’ Right Bank I stopped for a moment to admire the beautiful apartment buildings and admire the view of the Eiffel Tower, located across the River Seine on Paris’ Left Bank (and as usual, I took far too many photographs!).
Happy Window Wednesday! 😊
Right Bank...
“Paris’ Right Bank, to the north of the river, is the larger “bank” and also the more traditionally upper crust. Back when the Left Bank was where struggling creative souls could find kinship (not to mention cheap rent), the Right Bank was where the city’s wealthy residents lived and played. Although this distinction is less applicable today now that rents on the Left Bank have skyrocketed, the Right Bank is still where you’re going to find the majority of Paris’ big businesses and banks – as well as most of the big tourist attractions.”
Left Bank...
“The Left Bank, called “La Rive Gauche” in French, is on the southern side of the Seine and encompasses six arrondissements. It is by far the smaller section of Paris, and historically known as the artistic part of the city. This is where many of the famous writers and artists who once called Paris home – including Picasso, Matisse, and Hemingway – once lived, because it used to be that this was the part of the city that was much cheaper. Those days are mostly gone, however, as the Left Bank boasts as many high-end apartments, restaurants, and bars as the Right Bank.”

My winding down for Xmas shot... just into Wednesday here in the UK so hoping it is ok to post to Window Wednesdays Group!
This is a glass mosaic on an old window that I just finished.
I used scraps from a stained glass shop, as well as beach glass and glass drops and an old glass jar lid.
