Walls And Windows
As you already know, I have a thing for windows that has much character on them. Europe has plenty of windows that would not just make your head turn because they're so unique but that's not just how I feel when I see one. I automatically want to have 'em on a frame.
Lovely isn't it? Let's make a post card out of it.
These aren't fish' scales. They are actually semi - burnt potato chips, glued together to serve as walls. Alright, you got me, they ain't that either but that's really what I thought of when I saw these.
You may think that wall up there is intricate? Think again.
I think this one just beat it. Not that they're in competition really. This ain't just pretty to look it, I bet it could survive both storms and earthquake. We have plenty of these kinds of walls in Batanes Islands in the Ph cause that place is always hit by a storm and rock walls really .. could survive both storms and earthquakes.
This is what a typical old fashioned window of a traditional Dutch house would look like. We call those windows - "luikens", 15% up to the first one who could give the English word for that. I think I love this being just so plain and unpainted.
Hey, did you notice the roof?
Let some plants hang outside and make it just so - perfectly eye- catching! They sure modify and add drama even to the plain modern windows, don't you agree?
How about some view?
I thought photography pics are supposed to be just about pictures, then why on earth does this one have too much text on it? Well, originally, I just wanted to caption them some "titles", that should also do ain't it?
All I know is, a long time ago "VALUE" is what used to matter here. Good old days, beautiful, just like these old fashioned walls and windows.
Thank you for posting these beautiful photographs and interesting thoughts @englishtchrivy.
Windows with their lovely decor are indeed attractive.....these you have posted are especially so mon ami.
To answer your query......a couple of principles...To each his own....The cream always rises to the top.
Wishing you and yours a lovely weekend.
Cheers/Abientot
xox!
thank you mon ami
I love that line, it always brings us back to not insisting our standards imho.
As for this
imho, that used to be the case back here, it still is to some, thanks to curation groups who painstakingly look for such posts, these days rising to the top is very easy to achieve now, all it needs is one good bid bot and some load in your wallet, at least, that gives everyone a chance to shine ;) - if I may say, that's one good side of it.
I had a great, restful, very lazy weekend, I hope you did, too.
xox!
Do you mean the english word 'shutters'?
Personally like it more when pictures have a bit of text. Unless ofcourse the pic speaks for itself.
A nice evening to you.
yes :)
am glad you threw that this early
otherwise my VI has been drained
welterusten man
Beautiful selection of window shutters, such houses look so attractive with beautiful flowers on the window sill and of course in summer it must be outside of window. The patterns are sometimes different as well as colors but it must be wood, I love natural wood color and do not like painted ones. Thank you for sharing and your thouhgts about them :)
thanks
Even know in our Days most of those old things still very appreciated, I will rather get old and quality things than go for just edition hehehe.. you having a nice time and fun, thx for share...your captured are beautiful.
Those are some nice windows, especially the first one. I think hanging plants will make any window look nice. Or windows in walls covered in climbing plants like ivy.
thanks
there are also the devil's ivy filled walls there
I think Kr is already doing that, too
Beautiful detaining to it looks so amazing excellent shots there :D
Part of the fish scales are broken. :-)
shhh..
it's our secret

hahaha
I used to, but these days, thanks to innovations we could just make ridged potatoes at home with a dehydrator and an air fryer.
I don't eat much potatoes, I turn into a tuba player when I do hahahaha
my husband doesn't like it hahahaha :D TMI
Ah... I have an airfryer too but don't get to use it much. :-)
Really like the first one.
