Ludwig's Monday Window

Well, my friends, the time has come. The transformation and transfer of this blog and this challenge is getting underway. For me, Ludwig, that means starting to post my Monday Window contributions on my own site, I will be using Cafe Ludwig and, maybe, a new site.

Bus Windows About eleven years ago we went on a “senior trip”. It was conducted by a nearby center for seniors and the destination was Turner Field in Atlanta, then the home of the Atlanta Braves baseball team. The bus ride provided the opportunity for some “drive-by shooting” with my little Nikon D60. I will… Continue reading Monday Window – July 1, 2024

Rear Window On this eclipse day across North America it seems fitting to celebrate the sun. My way is to drive into the sunrise. One sees a lot of rear windows when on the road. See Monday Window posts .:. © 2023 Ludwig Keck

Footprints on a window OneDrive reminded me that three years ago last Monday we had quite a surprise in our garage. There were footprints on the back window of our car. Very distinct, white footprints apparently from a large bird. A ceiling panel had started to disintegrate and pieces fell down and shattered leaving gypsum… Continue reading Monday Windows – March 25, 2024

Hospital Window Modern hospital hereabouts try very hard to look pleasant and like a home environment. There is art on the walls, warm, soothing colors, interesting designs. Potted plants and comfortable seating for visitors. Here is the end of a hallway with a window looking out into the neighborhood. You could mistake it for an… Continue reading Monday Window – March 11, 2024

Factory Windows A new factory in our town is nearing completion. It has some interesting windows. Here is how it looked last August: And this is now: See Monday Window posts .:. © 2023 Ludwig Keck

Hospital Window Once again a look out a hospital window. Please pardon my terse comments, or no comments. Having internet problems. “Singing through a straw.” See Monday Window posts .:. © 2023 Ludwig Keck

Looking In When looking in on Facebook quite often the first thing you see is “Your memories on Facebook”. I enjoy looking at those photos for a moment and then usually go on scrolling down to see what friends have posted. Last week the nine-year old photo above came up. It is from an exhibit… Continue reading Monday Window – February 5, 2024

Bay Window Today just a plain bay window. It attracted my attention as it stood out against the colored brick of the building. See Monday Window posts .:. © 2023 Ludwig Keck

Wintry Reflections Trees in winter intrigue me. Without leaves their uniqueness and character shines. Reflections have also been favorites of mine. Here are a couple of images that combine both. For just plain trees see my two posts “Trees in Winter”: See Monday Window posts .:. © 2023 Ludwig Keck

There is an odds-and-ends folder on my laptop with various photos that I copy there when I plan to do something with an image. As I don’t get around to my chores, the folder bulges with pictures. Recently I was scanning through it and came across this photo of two windows with shutters and blinds.… Continue reading Monday Window – January 15, 2024

Lights in a Bay Windows Happy Holidays! See Monday Window posts .:. © 2023 Ludwig Keck

Reflections The sun was shining bright on the building we were in, its reflection in the building across the street was astonishingly bright. Unfortunately, this also caused internal reflections in the double glazing so my photo is not as crisp as I would like. But is is a fun view of plenty of windows. Looking… Continue reading Monday Window – December 11, 2023

Tipsy Dormers Just three dormers with windows today. and once again they look like unreal ones, just decorations. You might already have been distracted and are wondering just what is going on in that nail salon that takes so much power. Actually, those power boxes are also for the other businesses in this center. In… Continue reading Monday Window – November 20, 2023

Nostalgia Time My “spring cleaning” over at Cafe Ludwig found the original Monday Window post. I had taken part in a WordPress training course, and this was the result. Cafe Ludwig then, as now, was “self-hosted” and the posts there were not visible in WordPress Reader. I quickly realized that I had no audience. It… Continue reading Monday Window – October 23, 2023

Windows and Dormers It is time to step back and take a break from windows with awnings and take a look around and up. Here are some windows and dormers from a nearby shopping area. Oh, sure, there are some awnings in the main photo – we can’t give them up completely. And just for… Continue reading Monday Window – October 9, 2023

Big windows, sturdy awnings For this week we have some big windows with very sturdy awnings. In these next two views you can see that they really work in our bright sunshine.

Big windows with little awnings Here is a building with big windows and little awnings. These little awnings are almost hardly there. Almost disappearing. See Monday Window posts .:. © 2023 Ludwig Keck

Windows with round awnings Here are some simple windows with awnings of a different shape from what is usual. They are also colorful and in contrast to the red brick building. from around the world. See Monday Window posts .:. © 2023 Ludwig Keck

Color-Striped Awnings There was just no way that I could pass up these awnings. The windows are taped over with advertising posters, not very impressive, but the awnings are. The awning on the right doesn’t even cove a window. Oh, the food is tasty. Do the fake portholes count as windows? See Monday Window posts… Continue reading Monday Window – September 11, 2023

Striped Awnings This week I present windows and striped awnings. First, we’ll start with some big awnings over businesses in a shopping center. Next across the street to our Corner Bakery Cafe. Here is a photo as it looks today (well, taken on Thursday, August 24, 2023). And now a photo as it looked early… Continue reading Monday Window – September 4, 2023

Yellow Awnings Continuing with our little fad, here are some yellow awnings over windows. Since last week I referred to a Silver Canvas post, I decided to do so again this week. Enjoy! See Monday Window posts .:. © 2023 Ludwig Keck

A Sweet Window What can be sweeter than a window at an ice cream place. Actually, this isn’t just one window. If you look closely, you can see that there are a number of separate windows, including the two that open to serve customers. And, to stay with our running themes, there is an awning.… Continue reading Monday Window – August 14, 2023

Windows with Flowerboxes Let’s take a break from awnings this week and make bushboy happy. Here we have a delightful place, called “My Secret Garden”. It is a marvelous nursery for plants and flowers situated behind a large shopping center. They always have colorful items neatly arranged to attract the passers-by. Not only that, it… Continue reading Monday Window – August 7, 2023

More Blue Awnings My awning addiction is still uncured. This week we visit our local IHOP to see their plain windows and their blue awnings. On the side the awning is a bit exaggerated. from around the world. See Monday Window posts .:. © 2023 Ludwig Keck

A small variety of windows This week just a quick snap showing several types of windows. Let’s even count the car windows. Office building windows, and windows on an overpass. Past couple of weeks have been busy ones and I haven’t used my cameras much. Here is a month-old photo. See Monday Window posts .:.… Continue reading Monday Window – July 24, 2023

The photo here has already been published as a black-and-white over on my Composition Rules blog. One of those hidden, out-of-the-way sites that only about a half dozen people actually know about. Now you are among that select group! The title there is “Metal, Shadows and Reflections” – there is more to it than that.… Continue reading Monday Window – July 10, 2023

Curves and Shades There is an interesting story to this building. It is a hospital. When it was built it was just four stories tall. As the need grew, a major renovation added two more stories. If you look closely at the photos, you will see that there are some architectural differences. Well, you don’t… Continue reading Monday Window – July 3, 2023

A slatted view Before you tell me that I have a typo in my heading, take another look at the photo. See, it isn’t a “slanted” view, the horizon is level, but it is a look through slats. OK?, groan. Take a closer look and notice that these blinds are between glass panes. While venetian… Continue reading Monday Window – June 26, 2023

Inside-out outside-in window Almost every day I find an email in my inbox from OneDrive with reminders, “Your memories from this day”. When I saw this photo from five years ago, I thought it might be fun to share again. I reprocessed the photos, there were two, showing a window that brings the inside out… Continue reading Monday Window – June 5, 2023

Vehicle Windows Normally I don’t take photos when driving. That statement leaves a bit of wiggle room and that is when traffic is at a standstill. On my way home one day last week I found myself in such a situation. Traffic just crawled along. I saw some rising smoke ahead, and then a bit… Continue reading Monday Window – May 29, 2023

When the window is not the subject We share images of windows here. Most of the time one or more windows are indeed the subject of the photo. Sometimes a window is a feature, but not the main topic. That is the situation with my Monday Window here. The workman outside is the real interest,… Continue reading Monday Window – May 15, 2023

Looking out at windows Interesting, the things you can learn from other bloggers. Were it not for bushboy and his fascination with “shades”, I would not have known that the impressive structure in the above photo was a slat awning. And this photo caused me to be conflicted. I had it planned for this post… Continue reading Monday Window – May 8, 2023

Big Windows Featuring the same building we have seen before. This time the side with the big windows. These last two images are really the same photo of the front of the building. On the right is a crop. This shows the slat-awning and its shadow. If you look carefully the shadow covers pretty much… Continue reading Monday Window – May 1, 2023

Asymmetric windows Well, most windows are asymmetric. Vertically, that is. Most, however, are very symmetrical horizontally. Last week the windows I showed were asymmetric both vertically and horizontally. I did not point that out and nobody commented on that. This week I defy convention with windows that are “flipped on their sides”. They are symmetrical… Continue reading Monday Window – April 10, 2023

Windows with slat awnings “Pull up the shade to see the view”, was the suggestion shortly after I had entered the room. It was a huge window looking out on a pleasant, tranquil scene. The full window not only revealed the trees putting on their spring outfits, but as I looked up, I saw an… Continue reading Monday Window – April 3, 2023

Windows and more We’ll start inside in a small waiting room with some delightful pillows on a couple of chairs. They are the subject of my “Pillow Talk” cafe art over at Silver Canvas. Lots of windows here. Yes, another angle on the topic of a couple of weeks ago. See Monday Window posts .:.… Continue reading Monday Window – March 27, 2023

Looking through, looking out, looking at … Windows galore! First the large panes we are looking through at a hospital parking structure. Then the many cars with their windows, and then the windows of the hospital buildings. The photo at the top was taken on an upper level. A ground level photo was part of… Continue reading Monday Window – March 13, 2023

… then the rain stopped … … and the sun came out. It gave the dreary window shade a bit of life and perked up the room, the raindrops on the window did not matter. Sometimes a photo says “window” even if you can’t see it. Here, there is just the shadow of a window… Continue reading Monday Window – March 6, 2023

Wintry Windows Last Wednesday I checked in on Facebook and there was a “see your memories” note. As I scrolled down, I came across the photo here. “Ah, wintry windows! I wonder if I shared that with my Monday Window friends?” – I decided to come back later and check. Of course, Facebook would not… Continue reading Monday Window – February 13, 2023

Looking out a window – 2 Last week we looked out from a fifth-floor window of a big building on “pill hill”. This week we will go smaller. Today’s location is a suburban medical waiting room. No view of impressive buildings from here. Just a parking lot filled with cars. The bare trees are the… Continue reading Monday Window – February 6, 2023

Happy Newy Year! The photos planned for this day got published a week ago. Hopefully that was an unusual mistake. Here are some other photos from around our neighborhood in their festive decorations and lights. Enjoy this short tour of our neighborhood. I hope that 2023 will be happy and prosperous for you! … Monday… Continue reading Monday Window – January 2, 2023

Happy Holidays! One more view of the hospital with the holiday tree. This looks at the building from the far end of the campus. And since this is the season for gift giving, I thought I could make this into a nice “work of cafe art” for you. Wishing all much joy! … Monday Window… Continue reading Monday Window – December 26, 2022

Happy Holidays! Here are some big windows to wish you joy this season. We will take a break from the long-ago trip and look at some current photos. The big holiday tree atop the hospital building looked really impressive from the freeway. But from the main entrance area it is barely noticeable. The “back” side,… Continue reading Monday Window – December 19, 2022

Happy Holidays! With last week’s photo from Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, I promised more from there. And, of course, I deliver. Since this is the holiday season, I do wish to send my greetings and best wishes. Here is a photo from that trip many years ago. It shows The Inn at Christmas Place, on Christmas… Continue reading Monday Window – December 12, 2022

Unusual Dormers It all comes from casually looking through my LAB folder. There was this subfolder with just one photo in it. I told the story in my Ramblings over at Cafe Ludwig. Let me recap a little of it here. The photo showed a building with the unusual dormers you see here. It was… Continue reading Monday Window – December 5, 2022

Bare Branches and Two Windows The weather is cold and dreary. A typical November day. My archive did not want to show me anything interesting that I haven’t shared already. Until I came to and old photo of the front of a college building in Athens, GA that seemed to fit the mood. Not much… Continue reading Monday Window – November 21, 2022

Next window, please Still continuing to evaluate new software. This quick shot with deep shadows seemed like a good candidate. Photos taken with my iPhone have more compression in the shadows, breaking up areas into large blocks. That makes recovery of image detail difficult – and sometimes impossible. It seems to have worked well enough… Continue reading Monday Window – October 31, 2022

Driving through Sandy Springs – 1 Let’s go for a drive. Here we are on our way through Sandy Springs. When traffic stops, or at a light, I pull out my cellphone and try to capture the scene showing windows. Doesn’t work well at every stop, so we will only have a few scenes. Here… Continue reading Monday Window – August 15, 2022
