While taking photos throughout the city yesterday, I was obsess with the reflections in the windows. Windows are the views to the world :)
FR Mulhouse 2006 - Trompe l'oeil windows. What fun. Notice that the artist even rendered the ripples in the glass in the right window.

From my set: Dan's Windows
(Dan Daniels)
The newly renovated façade at the Quality Hotel Winn in Handen makes me think about Brutalist architecture. Sure is a horrible color. But he view from inside is a good one, you have a decent view over the Rudan nature reserve.
Window, San Francisco. © Copyright 2019 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
A window covered with security bars.
If this were my window — on this particular street, in this particular position, in this particular city — I suppose that I would install a security system like this, too. (It isn't exactly a "bad" area, but it is one where many thousands of people walk past daily, and the window is right along the sidewalk.)
But that's not really why I made the photograph. I thought the gently suffused lighting was attractive, and I liked the combination of colors, shapes, and light and shadow. Aside from whatever intrinsic value or meaning this photograph may (or may not) have, it is another example of the fact that there are things to see everywhere, and that, in my view, photographing them is a useful way to "tune up" your ability to see things that not everyone might notice.
