A lovely little house in Strasbourg, l'Alsace, sitting on a narrow isle between two canals. I loved the framing of its beautiful windows with that vine.
Dolbadarn Castle Llanberis
Dolbadarn Castle is a fortification built by the Welsh prince Llywelyn the Great during the early 13th century, at the base of the Llanberis Pass, in northern Wales. The castle was important both militarily and as a symbol of Llywelyn's power and authority.
Something doesn't quite add up with what's on the roof and what's hiding underneath.

Rest in peace John le Carré (1931 - 2020).
BOGART: "Hullo Jago."
JAGO: "Hullo Bogart."
BOGART: "Why are you sitting here alone, Jago? Are you sad?"
JAGO: "Oh no, Bogart, I'm very happy. How could I be sad when I have you, Paddy, Scout, Cousin Paddington and Daddy for my family? I love being here with you all."
BOGART: "Then why are you sitting here?"
JAGO: "Well, sometimes I just like to sit quietly on my own and daydream, or look for faeries in the garden."
BOGART: "Faeries, in our garden? Where?" *Excited.*
JAGO: "Well, I haven't seen one yet, but maybe today will be my lucky day."
BOGART: "May I look for faeries with you, Jago?"
JAGO: "Yes, of course you may, Bogart. Come. Sit on my lap and let's watch closely for faeries in the garden."
The theme for “Looking Close on Friday” for the 11th of March is “backside”. When I came across Bogart and Jago looking for faeries in the garden through the window, I thought their backsides would be perfect for the theme. I hope that you think so too, and that it makes you smile!
Jago is a recent addition to my ever-growing family. A gift from a dear friend in England, he is made of English mohair with suede paw pads and glass eyes. He is a gentle bear, kind and patient who carries an air of calm about him. He is already fitting in with everyone else very nicely.
Bogart has travelled all the way from Georgia, via Alabama as a gift to me from a friend. He has lovely Southern manners and seems to be a fun and gentle soul with an inquisitive nature.
A short, pathless walk from the forestry track took us to the remains of the farmhouse and buildings of Achnababan.
According to some quick research this might be a window of the old farm office.
she moved slowly but with intention. a figure held between geometry and rust, light and glass. there was nothing dramatic about the scene—just the texture of a day, the hush of a step, and the gaze of someone who has seen decades pass through panes like these. i didn’t ask for her attention, but she gave it anyway. just enough to remind me that presence doesn’t need to be loud to be lasting.
Letztes Jahr begann der Sekretär mit einer neuen Langzeit-Serie: Wenn immer er an einem neuen Ort übernachtet, will er ein Bild mit dem Blick aus dem Zimmermeister aufnehmen und dabei das Fenster selbst in das Bild integrieren. Hier nun eine Aufnahme aus Cressier, Kanton Neuchâtel, Schweiz.
Last year, Secratry started a new long-term series: Whenever staying overnight at a new location, he wants to take a picture with the view from his room window and also integrate the window itself into the picture. Here an image taken in Cressier, canton of Neuchâtel, Switzerland.

Meanwhile - as we slide from Window Wednesday into Monochrome Bokeh Thursday, before gently rolling into Fenced Friday - somewhere just outside of Ketchikan, Alaska....
Can't deny I enjoyed playing with the processing on this one :-)
My inaugural trip to Toronto's infamous Brickworks: a giant decaying abandoned brick factory. This shot is probably the least brickworksesque… I was shooting mostly with my old lens for the wide-angle (and looking through my shots I am reminded why I stopped using that lens), but my favourite shots are closeups like this one, taken with my prime. Sweet 1.8, how I heart thee. Anyway, I like this shot for this rotting windowframe's echoing of the tree beyond. More from the Brickworks tomorrow.
Oh, and this is considerably better large on black.
The folks at Lambert's Restaurant in Taos recommended The Farmhouse for breakfast. The restaurance has a great story, great food, great service in a quiet, relaxed atmosphere,
This is a scene in the same compound as The Farmhouse.
"Overland Sheepskin is a tradition in Taos, New Mexico, where we opened our first location in 1973 near the historic central plaza. Today, our store is part of the Overland compound just north of the village near Taos Mountain, the Taos Ski Valley, and the Taos Pueblo. Brimming with Native American and Southwestern charm, Taos (population 6,400) is an outdoor destination for hiking, river rafting, skiing, and snowshoeing. There is also great shopping, eating, and relaxing in the beautiful gardens overlooking the Taos Mountain."

An American flag hangs near the left corner of the building.
Traditional hanging chili ristras (dried red chilis) are suspended from the porch roof structure on both sides.
String lights outline the eaves and entrance areas.

A third shot of the first sunrise I saw from my room in Sahalah. I checked into the hotel quite late in the evening and obviously didn't really feel like looking at the merits of the room.
In the morning, however, when I was taking sunrise pictures, I stepped away from the balcony and discovered this architectural design which confirmed for me that I was in an exotic land.

Key Features
Wagon Wheels:
Wooden Spoke Wheel: On the left, a large, well-preserved wooden wheel with spoke construction and a rusted iron hub rests against the wooden wall.
Iron Spoke Wheels: Next to it on the right is a medium-sized, fully rusted metal wheel with thin spokes, with a portion of another iron wheel visible further to the right.
Building Wall & Window:
The background consists of dark, horizontal wooden log-style siding showcasing natural grain and knot textures.
Directly above the wheels is a multi-paned glass window set in a matching wooden frame, reflecting the outside light and showing light curtains inside.
Foreground & Ground:
The ground is covered with river stones, gravel, and scattered pieces of old rusted metal farm hardware.
Green vegetation, small wild plants, and tiny pink blossoms grow densely along the bottom left corner.
The Keeper of Old Wheels
The high-desert wind carried the faint scent of sagebrush and rain off the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, humming through the gaps of the wooden wagon frame parked outside the store. To the hurried traveler heading down the highway toward Taos, the collection of weathered timber, rusted iron, and hanging chili ristras might have looked like simple Southwestern decor. But to those who stopped, every piece held the weight of decades past.
Leaning against the dark log siding, a massive wooden wagon wheel rested quietly beside its rusted iron companion. The wood was deeply grooved by time and weather, yet its spokes held strong—a testament to the craftsman who shaped it long before asphalt paved the roads. Down among the river pebbles and wild foliage, bits of old farm hardware lay tucked in the shadows, slowly yielding to rust while bright summer blooms pushed up through the stone.
Inside, through the multi-paned glass window, the soft warm glow of the shop suggested comfort and refuge. But out here on the porch, time moved at a different pace. The gentle flutter of the American flag in the breeze and the silent stance of the ancient cart served as a quiet reminder of the pioneers, artisans, and travelers who had carved out a life along this stretch of New Mexico high country.

Applewood Farm & Winery: On this sunny, autumn day at the farm there was live music… A man with a guitar sang a cover of a song that I haven’t heard in a long while: Blue Rodeo’s “Lost Together.” Beautiful song. Beautiful day.

PS I ordered blueberry cider and sang along quietly to this song and others. :) Cheers! 🎶✨
