Through The Window
I’ve always been drawn to the windows at Fort Langley National Historic Site.
Today, standing inside the cooperage and looking out into the courtyard within the fort walls, I can’t help but imagine someone doing the same thing nearly 200 years ago. Perhaps a cooper pausing from his work, or a clerk watching the yard. Someone waiting for a boat on the river.
These lanterns hang quietly now, catching the light instead of casting it. In black and white, the scene feels closer to the past. The distractions of colour fall away and what’s left is light, shadow, wood, glass.
I’m not trying to recreate history exactly. I just like to photograph it in a way that feels like it could have been seen back then. As if the window is still doing what it has always done, framing the world for whoever stands here.
Maybe that’s why I love these places so much. They let us look out and look back at the same time.

(Fountains Abbey) I did a version without the chairs too, but prefered this one. Oh, and it really was this yellow.
South and North Windows from the back side. There are large crowds inside these arches, hidden by the rise in front.
We met an American family and a few Germans on the trail that goes around the back.
Window Wednesday
I took this from the Jeep window today.
This is the neighbour's house. They live a short distance down the road. They had this house built. I love their beautiful house!
We put a few birdseeds on the window ledge for the cardinals...but this little begger found them first!
For Window Wednesdays. HWW
Sorry I am behind with viewing and commenting. Normal service should be resumed soon! ;)
More windows from the new apartments, taken last month.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)
This huge Western Red Cedar (Thuja plicata), grows just outside the walled garden at Picton Castle in Pembrokeshire, where it was planted, sometime around 1860!
Part of the Castle itself can be glimpsed in the background across the lawn. For more info, visit www.pictoncastle.co.uk/gardens
After passing through killer ants, monster bees, hobbit bugs and swinging self-murderer Achilles (who is alive, as he forgot to hang himself with the heel), you will reach the window! When you open it, you’ll see His majesty Bungo I, the Cabbage Eater, sitting on a crouton throne! He’ll look at you strictly and sing:
Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what Wombles are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what Wombles are for!
