Windows

I find windows fascinating and enjoy taking pictures of them.

They can show off with their forms, or ornaments, or colours, or all of the above.

Yet others like to hide:

Don’t you think that the ones on the right look as if they are peaking out from under the roof like a cat would from under a bedspread?

Still others deceive the onlooker:

The splendid frame around this is trompe l’oeil – painted on the wall but the window is real enough.

They often come in pairs:

Kornhäusle

fun-window-7

fun-window-4

which offers opportunities to play around with symmetry – or not.

Some are individualsfun-window-8

whether they are abandoned (at least for a while)

fun-window-2

or not.

Mein Weinheimer Dreigestirn

52-16-christmas

I think Christmas times in South Africa have spoilt me for years to come: I rather have hot weather, sunshine, braai vleis, and lazing around the swimming pool than the North and Middle European variety.  But for what it’s worth I was happy to receive one of these little wooden figures each year as a present from my home town, and they have been part of our Christmas decorations every since.
