Windows




Windows, doors, gates, archways, the things inbetween
 other things, exert a fascination that borders on natural 
law - like watching the flow of water, the lick of flames
 or even a lava-lamp for heaven's sake. Anyway, a lovely
 tatty window box at an elegant window with interior shutters.
 Geraniums are the very devil; they need constant attention.

  

So rare to see windows flung wide in the city - a breath of fresh air.
Is this green truck succeeding in being retro and almost 
(visually) socially acceptable? Anyway, easy on the eye.



Such shadows, white on white.


Essentially the same view. Day and night.

  2. Agree with you about the green van - I don't normally like big vehicles but it does look quite cool (or maybe I should have said 'car')

  7. Those windows with the window box don't look like they open. How does one care for the plants?

  8. The open window is great. Along with the fresh air enter sounds of the city , a symphony of life as real as birdsong in the country.

  13. That's what I love about big cities, especially New York - the quiet corners in the most unexpected places!

  15. The first two look as if they are in France rather than New York. Especially with that van-looks Citreony! Lovely pictures.

  16. Whenever we see shots of NY it's all jangle! But the other side is so restful.
