Restaurant Windows For this week another drive-by photo. This one of a restaurant outside Athens, Georgia. Just a small building with a front door and two large windows. You can see the tables inside. No customers, the photo was taken in the late afternoon long after lunch and before dinner time. I just could not… Continue reading Monday Window – November 9, 2020

Knot in the Window Traveling home from a trip to Augusta last year I was sitting in the back seat with my camera looking out the window for photo opportunities. My camera was set to a shutter speed of 1/1000 sec so I would minimize any blur to the speed of the camera and error… Continue reading Monday Window – November 2, 2020

Buckhead – Once More Some months back I needed a title image for a presentation on architectural photography. I went into my archive looking for an unpublished photo and came across the one used here. Since it also showed lots of windows I put a copy into my folder for Monday Window. It has been… Continue reading Monday Window – October 12, 2020

Windows with Blinds The texture of the siding matching the slats of the window blinds caught my eye. Then I also notices the slots of the air conditioning unit. Nothing special, just an old house with an interesting look. I was on my way to photograph a festival in Norcross. The horizontal lines just seemed… Continue reading Monday Window – October 5, 2020

Illuminated Fake Windows Last Saturday evening I was taking pictures at a concert on our Town Green as I had done many times before. This time, however, the windows of the building behind the stage caught my eye. On the right the windows look in on the lobby of the movie theater. On the left… Continue reading Monday Window – September 28, 2020

Lonesome Window Just a lonesome window in an old brick wall. ….. There hasn’t been anything profound here for some weeks. There was a reason for that. Here is what I have been working on. It’s a window of a different sort. Take a look, explore. Enjoy. Monday Window is a weekly blog post challenge… Continue reading MondayWindow – September 21, 2020

Butterflies in the window Last week it was balloons, and now we have butterflies in the windows. Now, I don’t normally look into people’s windows, especially in the evening with the lights on indoors, but this is a commercial building. Offices upstairs, restaurant below. Besides, the decorations just invite looking, and wondering about the neat… Continue reading Monday Window – September 14, 2020

Cafe Window Just an old, nostalgic, dreamy cafe window. To me those light curtains and the ambiance of a friendly, little cafe have always seemed comfortable, pleasant, even safe from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Yes, safe harbor, might be a good term. I don’t know what it is that makes a little… Continue reading Monday Window – August 31, 2020

As I sorted through my folder full of window photos I found another neglected image. So here it is. What struck me was the view in one window and out the other. That also gets me to put on my “sharing hat”. Sharing a bit of experience, but first the cropped area of the photo… Continue reading Monday Window – August 24, 2020

A simple window Window fans have shared many magnificent, intricate, beautiful, windows. Windows to be looked at, looked into, looked out of, and windows for all kinds of purposes, large ones, small ones, tall one, narrow ones, old ones, new ones. The variety is endless. My contributions also have been of a wide range. A… Continue reading Monday Window – July 6, 2020

Aquarium Skylight Window My window for this week is another oldie. This is a view inside the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta, Georgia, of a delightful skylight window. Back in 2010 I was attracted by the colors and shadows. With the blue sky seen through the window panes, the white wall with the red accent, the… Continue reading Monday Window – June 1, 2020

A famous building On several occasions in the past few months I stumbled across this old photo. It shows a corner building in Athens, Georgia, at the intersection of College Avenue and E. Clayton Street. Finally, I decided the windows are interesting enough to share with my Monday Window friends. I cropped the photo several… Continue reading Monday Window – May 18, 2020

Windows as Walls Another reminiscence from nine years ago in Savannah, Georgia. This week the “transparent walls” at the Jepson Center of the Telfair Museums. Here windows constitute the outside wall. Other windows are seen inside. Monday Window is a weekly blog post challenge featuring one or more photos of windows, prominently or as the… Continue reading Monday Window – May 11, 2020

Windows by the sidewalk Another dip into my archive so I won’t have to go roaming the streets. Hope all will be well and safe soon! These well protected windows on a sidewalk in Savannah are guarded by those delightful fishy boots. Monday Window is a weekly blog post challenge featuring one or more photos… Continue reading Monday Window – April 20, 2020

Drive-Through Window With all of us around the world hunkering down, today I share just one simple photo. This is the window at the drive-through line of one of our favorite fast food restaurants. We try to support our local places as much as possible. I hope that you, my friends out there in the… Continue reading Monday Window – April 13, 2020

Looking Out These are difficult days. It’s lonely, staying home waiting for the scourge to pass as we look longingly out our windows. I went into my archive to find some photos on the theme of looking out. I will splurge and share three of them, hoping that I will not run out of images… Continue reading Monday Window – April 6, 2020

Windows at Night As an octogenarian I was entitled to shop at my local grocery before opening to regular customers. That meant before sun up! It was dark and foggy. The sky had just begun to lighten up. There were hardly any other vehicles on the roads. My neighbors clearly are taking this pandemic seriously.… Continue reading Monday Window – March 30, 2020

Tower of Windows Today I have one tower of windows, but it is presented three ways. There is much that post processing can do. I am still checking out the apps that I have installed on my new laptop. Here is the image processed as an HDR look in ON1 Photo RAW. For a dramatic… Continue reading Monday Window – February 10, 2020

Window Walls Last week I dug up some wonderfully decorative classical windows. In this post I have retrieved modern window walls. Buildings that are all windows, and quite reflective too. My first image is a rather delightful, confusing look at a Buckhead, Georgia building. It is also a selfie. Here is the lower left of… Continue reading Monday Window – February 3, 2020

Windows in Winter Happy New Year to all windows fans! To start 2020, I will revisit our city hall. The trees are bare, a blustery, cold wind is whipping the flags. The sky is gray with dark clouds. But here in the Southeast winter is but a short “inconvenience”.   Monday Window is a weekly… Continue reading Monday Window – January 6, 2020

Old Windows Going through my archive looking for a photo I remembered taking in Savannah, I came across a picture of the Savannah Cotton Exchange building. The photo is eleven years old, the building dates back to 1886. These are some enlargements showing the upper tier of windows. Not sure if they received the attention… Continue reading Monday Window – December 9, 2019

Dark Windows Pleasant windows, you might say. Alas, looks are deceiving. These are not windows at all, and so I call them “dark windows”. A long long time ago our ancestors made holes in the sides of their humble abodes to let in light. Windows derived from those. They added some means to close them… Continue reading Monday Window – November 25, 2019

Windows of a Country Home You could tell from last week’s post that I have been working on a project. The photo today is from that same tutorial project. Here is a wider crop from the same shot: And here is what it looks like straight out of the camera. The photo was taken from… Continue reading Monday Window – November 11, 2019

Country Cafe Windows An unassuming, plain photo of some windows. Nothing special, you say. Of course, you are right. Nothing special. I just happened to use this window photo for our Monday Window challenge because it was on the “top of the stack”. I have been testing the latest offerings from ON1 and Topaz Studios.… Continue reading Monday Window – November 4, 2019

From Inside Two window photos, one from my desk, the other from the top floor of a large shopping mall. There is a bit more to this story below.

Cupola Windows One sees a lot of cupolas on businesses, houses, and other buildings. Nowadays these are mostly decorative additions. Once upon a time such structures were used to ventilate or bring light into the spaces underneath the roof. The windows are often “blind”, just made to look like windows from a distance. Monday Window… Continue reading Monday Window – September 16, 2019

The O Gallery One of the most delightful places is The O Gallery in Norcross, Georgia. Marvelous works of art in an old, repurposed store in the charming downtown area of this historic little Georgia town. Yes indeed, this is a selfie. I just wanted the pleasant street scene and had not noticed that I… Continue reading Monday Window – August 26, 2019

Monday Window “Through the Horse and Out the Window” Going back a few years to a visit to the Booth Western Art Museum in Cartersville, GA.
