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

A window and stairway at Hughes Hall, one of the colleges of Cambridge University. This rather modern building has pleasin gviews across the University cricket ground on one side, and unrivalled views of the Queen Anne's car park on the other (from where this was taken).
It's too bad i'm not handy...otherwise I'd love to have a old house with alot of character and history. Unfortunately, I can barely hang blinds.

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.

St. Peter's Chapel at the Mare Island Naval Shipyard was built in 1901 under the guidance of Chaplin McAllister and is the oldest chapel in the military. The organ was installed in 1929 and updated again in 1966.
The twenty-nine stained glass windows were installed over a thirty year period to honor individuals and groups. Twenty-five of the windows are known to be from the Tiffany Studios, one by the Cummings Studios, and this triptych from Ingerson and Glaser of San Francisco.
The chapel is maintained by the Mare Island Historic Park Foundation

Years ago, a friend told me a story from her childhood that I'd not heard before, and I think of it often. The story goes like this:
One morning, a little girl was looking across the valley from her house, admiring the beautiful golden windows on a house on the top of the hill.
"Mom," she said, "Do you see that house on the hill with golden windows? It must be so beautiful there, and the people who live there must be so wealthy! I'll bet they have no problems and their lives are filled with happiness every day. I wish OUR HOUSE had golden windows."
"Oh, darling," replied the mother, "no one's life is perfect. Even people who live in a house with golden windows."
"No, I think you are wrong! I want to go see for myself!" So the mother packed the daughter a lunch, and away the daughter went to cross the valley and see how wonderful life was for the people who lived in the house with golden windows.
The girl walked all day long. As she reached the bottom of the valley, she lost sight of the house but kept going. It was dusk by the time she reached the top of the other hill. But to her surprise, all she found was an ordinary house. She saw no golden ornaments, nothing that made the house look different or more special than any other house. The people looked ordinary, just like the people in her own family. She was puzzled.
Disappointed, she turned around to gaze at her own house across the valley she'd just crossed. And to her surprise, her house was ablaze with light. The windows shone with gold as the setting sun lit them up. In disbelief, she looked again at the ordinary house in front of her, then back to her house gleaming across the way.
"MY house has golden windows!" she said in amazement. She stood for a moment, struck by how beautiful her house looked from this side of the valley. She took off running back down the hill, eager to return to her family.
