Round in square or square in round?
These windows were meant for K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge, yet they appeared in an sometwhat alienated form. So here they are cropped and backlit but otherwise left alone.

How many circle fit in a square?
For K’lee’s challenge this week (cosmically circular / cosmically square) I found windows which have both square and circular elements in them and then played around with them. The untempered photos can be seen on Ludwig’s Monday Window.

Windows with a view –
but no panes of glass.

Last of the castle windows
at least for the moment.
This is castle Rennhof in Hüttenfeld. Built in the mid 19th century in the style Empire, it has been used as a Lithuanian School, the only official Lithuanian school in Western Europe.
This is Castle Neckarhausen, built and rebuild since the mid 17th century, the last major remodelling happened in the early 19th century in the neoclassicist style.
And one more time the Baroque style of Mannheim Palace.

Palace windows
These are windows from the Heidelberg Castle (Renaissance), Gersfeld, Schwetzingen and Mannheim palace (all three Baroque buildings).
Heidelberg, Mannheim and Schwetzingen are in close proximity of each other – one can see that sandstone is a prevalent building material in the area. Gersfeld is not that far away, about the same distance from Frankfurt to the north-east as the others are south.

A room with a view
And what a view that is! Tomorrow it will be exactly two years that I first visited my friend in her apartment. It looks out on the lighthouse of Roker Beach in Sunderland. The middle frame would make a perfect picture.
Other windows can be found here.
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:
which offers opportunities to play around with symmetry – or not.
Some are individuals
whether they are abandoned (at least for a while)
or not.
