Window

This was just a building on the side of the road in Paris, but all of them had such lovely windows that glowed when the sun came out. This one looked particularly awesome so I snapped it!

While on my Paris trip I took umpteen pictures through the pretty framed windows, so here’s a gallery of different ones with various editing – having a play with lighting really changed the look of the image through the panes!

Vincennes (an incredible castle hidden away at the end of a Metro train line) through one of the many windows there.
I have already posted one image of this room, otherwise I would have featured it again as I love it so much – this one was in Versailles.

Versailles gardens through the windows.
Ok, so this isn’t a window – but it has a glass reflection in it! A reliquary we viewed at the Musee De Cluny – which contains some of the most incredible pieces of medieval art and design in the world.

I have a huge number of stained glass photos too, but thought the challenge was more about looking at reflection and light than colours and intricacy so that’s a post for another time đŸ˜‰

Hope you enjoyed viewing! đŸ™‚

      2. There are some around the older areas, but Australia as an entire country has only been urbanised in the last 300 years (that’s when European settlement occured), so comparatively we don’t have a lot of historical architecture, so not many of these windows around!! Also in terms of insulation, not the best in the Australian climate, so sadly not the most practical. In Perth much of the older architecture around got knocked down in the last fifty years or so too, which was a bummer! That’s probably why I was so in love with them in France – so unusual from home haha đŸ™‚

      3. Great info. Thank you for patiently telling me all these history.
        I didn’t know that there could be so much behind some beautiful windows! I think there are plenty of such beautiful windows with stained glasses are all over Europe. Anyway I am glad that you captured a lot from France. I think I am also started liking Windows!!

  3. Ah Paris has so many nice buildings…and windows!! My favorite type of window is the one that buildings in Venice have…they have a certain gothic element to them!! I thought of stained glass too, but didn’t really like any of my photos…so I went with glass buildings!
