I love windows. I love taking pictures of windows. I love light and how it shapes whatever it touches. The bungalow is a little bit dark, even though it has a big window in the living room; it’s a bit of a shotgun-style house, which I also love. But the bedrooms are light and when we put a new coat of paint in the living room, it will be much brighter. But I digress. Windows intrigue me in photography, giving just a glimpse of the life that lies behind them. Warmth. Shadows. A suggestion of the owners taste in lace curtains, beads, brocade. A suspicion of age and weather in cracks and dust. A hint of ghosts.
Quote of the day: “People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.” — Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

So Does That Mean I'm Southern
I absolutely love this picture and it actually reminds me of a Bob Timberlake print. Your quote is just the best. Have a great week.!!

Hi Amy,
That is the neatest photo. So interesting because the middle window is different. Why? The curtains, the flowers. The colors – weathered wood and white. Add grey and you have my top three all time faves. I can stare at this photo a long time and think about it. Mark of a real good photo.
