Picture This #222 ~ Windows

First of all congratulations Belita for such a wonderful header with the dragon fly. 


Generally my attachment to windows is cleaning them, but it is always soothing to take a photo of a window I do not have to clean. So here we go.

This is one of those spur of the moment shots I made when shopping in the local town of Solothurn. I found the construction of the metal over the window combined with the closed blinds interesting. Wish I had more time to get the window completely in the frame of the photo.

Window in Solothurn

This window is one of my favourite windows. I drive pass every time I go to the local supermarket. The little figures are always there, It is the top window in a three story house.

4 o'clock in the morning in hospital and you cannot sleep. Flashing lights from outside, so you struggle to the window (with the camera of course) just in time to catch a helicopter landing on the helicopter place. The patient was afterwards transported on a stretcher and put on a gurney where he was wheeled into the hospital. Not very good quality, but in spite of my broken arm I was successful.

  1. Hi Pat!! Three great takes on the theme. Interesting first shot. They certainly don't want anything or anyone getting in that window, including light!! I love those little figures on the window-sill in the second shot. I didn't realise what the third shot was til I read your description...then it was obvious!!! LOL.

  2. Hi Pat, three very interesting shots. I also am fascinated by the lines and angles of the first. Very nice photograph. The second is the epitome of European charm; I would give anything to have those cherubs outside my window. And good for you to take your camera to the hospital! (Hope you are healing well.) What a splendid capture of the helicopter. Great timing and presence of mind.

  8. Hi Pat, these three are great for this theme. The last shot is like photojournalism. I like your attempt to record the helicopter on the helipad.
    My favorite is the second image with the angels on the sill.That photo has great architectural details.
