the city never stops moving — yet for a second, everything aligns: a man in motion, his shadow blurred by speed, a window catching the red echo of london’s icons. it’s not a moment you see, it’s a moment that sees you.
These wonderful red bottles were displayed in the large window where all the reflections were shown from the street, adding some interesting light dots to the display.

When capturing this facade in Saint-Malo at dusk, I wanted to seize the contrast between the geometric rigor of the architecture and the warmth of the illuminated windows. The selective black and white treatment emphasizes this duality, transforming each lit window into a golden lantern piercing through the austerity of granite. I was particularly drawn to the perfect symmetry of the openings and how the lights seem to play a silent game of chess across the facade.
The architectural details - the ornate roof dormers, wrought iron balconies, flowered window boxes - add a historical dimension that anchors the image in Saint-Malo's heritage. What fascinated me was how contemporary life expresses itself through these centuries-old windows, creating a dialogue between past and present, between the coldness of stone and the warmth of the homes within it.

If you grew up in the UK in the 1970s/80s you might well be familiar with BBC TV's "Play School", a programme for younger children where the presenters invited you to look at something through one of their windows. I don't think an 'oblong' window ever existed, but I've a feeling 'round', 'square' and 'arched' windows all made the cut.

An internal timber slat wall of a little old country style cottage with a rustic old timber table with a vase of flowers on top. There is a picture of daisies on the wall in an old white frame, which has an out of frame effect. This could also be a window, with the daisies outside...
This window really stands out on the red roof of an old Montreal house. It is nicely decorated and red roofs were in use a long time ago and are therefore quite historical.
Trying out my new cell phone camera, this shot was taken as a panorama but I had to crop it a bit. Taken at the Fairview Shopping Mall in Pointe-Claire, Que.

A quiet moment observed through the windows of a London bus three separate frames, three different states of mind. From distraction to introspection to connection, each passenger occupies their own world despite sharing the same space. Subtle reflections, rain-textured glass, and the saturated reds of the bus create a cinematic urban narrative rooted in everyday life.
Captured on campus in the ISE Lab Common Space in February , with iPhone and Contrast app.
I really liked how the sun screen created a gauzy filter and how the Contrast app accentuated the walls of the building and the people outside the window.
VWS1781 Copyright © VW Selburn 2010: The night view from my bedroom window at Durham Castle. Durham Castle is part of the Durham University and the student accommodation is let out in the summer to tourists. This is from my archive and was taken in 2010 at the Tall Ships Shootaboot. I still have lots of photos to upload from that shootaboot. It was early days for me with flickr so I was trying not to look too keen. Of course that has all gone by the board now hasn't it? I know I'm keen so I pick out my best photos and upload them anyway! In Explore at 271 on 20th September 2017.
Damn right they wanted! The surprise was just so comprehensive and so many questions about yesterday still floated in the air. But the q/a part could still wait awhile. Both Aunties and Manna stepped inside the greenhouse.
And what a greenhouse it was: an octagon-shaped, completely made out of old recycled materials which made it look like it had stood there ages giving it a beautiful rustic overall look. It was so charming with its old grey, orange and yellow worn-out windowframes and rustic ground not to mention its flower boxes and colourful lights- there were even drinks ready in a small table.
The Aunties melt unavoidably and almost instantaneously- what else could they? Frozen silence which prevailed just a moment ago, was now gone: fascinated aahs! and oohs! filled the space as the Aunties and Manna looked around. Who’d have believed that Uncles could be capable to create such a pearl?! The Uncles stood on a doorway and had a wide, smug smile on their face.
Sassy the cat lives in a Wet’suwet’en Strong household on 10th Ave East at Fraser Street. Somedays Sassy will sit on the window ledge, but never when I have my camera.
Wet’suwet’en People:
The Wet'suwet'en nation have lived on their territories in what is now British Columbia for thousands of years. They have never signed treaties or sold their land to Canada.
The Wetʼsuwetʼen live on the Bulkley River and around Burns Lake, Broman Lake, and François Lake in the northwestern Central Interior of British Columbia.
The endonym Wetʼsuwetʼen means "People of the Wa Dzun Kwuh River (Bulkley River)".
In 2008, Wet’suwet’en clans opted out of the British Columbia Treaty process and asserted their land rights to their unceded territory in Canada.
31 December, 2019, the British Columbia Supreme Court issued an injunction to allow construction of the Coastal GasLink pipeline, giving the company unlimited access to Wet’suwet’en lands.
The Coastal GasLink pipeline is intended to be 416 miles long, stretching from northeast British Columbia to near Kitimat.
Within this swath of land lies 22,000 square kilometers of unceded Wet’suwet’en land. The injunction was firmly rejected by the Wet’suwet’en.
07 January, 2020 the Wet’suwet’en Hereditary Chiefs issued an eviction notice to the pipeline company, effective immediately.
UNCEDE LAND:
In 1997, the Hereditary Chiefs brought their claim for their ancestral land to the Canadian Supreme Court.
The court ruled the Wet’suwet’en People had not relinquished their land rights and titles to 22,000 square kilometers of land in northern British Columbia. The ruling also recognized the validity of hereditary governance.
Most of the territory of British Columbia was never ceded by the Indigenous Peoples of the land.
Indigenous Peoples have been living on their land for at least 14,000 years, while British Columbia, first a colony now a province, has been around for about 160 years.
The cultures, governments, and legal systems of many First Nation Peoples in the region were never extinguished.
At the time of colonization, international and British Law deemed Indigenous land interests were to be respected if the Indigenous People had not signed a treaty or been conquered.
The Wet’suwet’en were never conquered nor did they sign a treaty. Nonetheless, without any legal backing, in the 1860s British Columbia started to pass land laws and hand out property interests of the Indigenous land.
