windowscape

I love a good window. This one is in a German restaurant outside Munich.
A friend was showing us something in this restaurant where he is friends with 
the owner. We were not having dinner so I felt funny taking photos, but I could not 
help myself. These are such a gorgeous windows. Yummy color.
So I did what I like to do: broke up the image and moved around parts of it
to create a mosaic.
It helps you to look more deeply into what you are seeing.
This gentleman was simply enjoying al fresco dining
and ended up on a blog. Oh my …
See Judith's Lavender Cottage for more Monday Mosaics.

  2. No wonder you wanted to take pictures of it...it is stunning ! Wouldn't it be wonderful to have a large living room with a fireplace at one end and that window at the other! sigh. : )

  3. Oh my goodness Dotsie, I love, love these windows!!! They are indeed gorgeous! I love European architecture; never seem to tire of it. That second picture reminds me of Bilbo Baggins's home in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. This really is a charming restaurant!

    Thanks for sharing and have a good week!

    Hugs,

  9. Aren't you the clever one to use pieces to make a mosaic whereas I find the huge window itself one big mosaic of light and what lies beyond.
    Maybe someone will read your post and say "hey, there's grandpa." LOL
    Thanks for linking to MM Dotsie.

  15. I love interesting windows. One of the things that bugs Steve and me the most is when a little beach cottage is torn down and a big huge 3 story monster appears. And then, they use cheap windows - all that money they spend to build a house, and it has few interesting features.

  16. Nice! I love windows and doors! And am trying to stop sometimes feeling weird about taking pictures. At least I'm not taking selfies -- that's all some people seem to do. I mean hello, there's more to see than yourself, right? One time a lady did get haughty as she didn't want to be in my picture and believe me, I didn't want her in it ... I was aiming up at the old theater behind her ... some people. Have a great week. Tammy

    That man hos no idea how famous he is!!

  18. Great idea to crop the photo and reassemble it to create a mosaic, I've not seen that done before, very clever.

  19. My eye went to him first thing in the first photo. Yes that is a great window and your mosaic makes it even more interesting.

  22. What a fun way to create a mosaic!

  23. I love this window and the wide sill in front of it. The restaurant owners have chosen well with the draperies, too. A mosaic such as yours does allow one to see things in a different way.

  24. Not only is the window lovely, but your mosaic is totally fascinating, causing me to look and look and enjoy it and figure it out!

  25. Beautiful through the window shots........greenery always looks so appealing when viewed in a window frame.

    Happy Tuesday!

  26. I love the mosaic you made - very clever!!.......and I like your thought on taking something apart to look more closely at the elements. The window is certainly special - the shape, the view, the foreground and the choice of drapery all come together to make something memorable.

  27. I always wonder about photos of people. Doesn't it seem strange that you may never see them again and here they are on your camera. Interesting and creative mosaic! I appreciate a good window too. We have a little old sunrise window (from 1913 installation) on the landing of our stairway. It is always amazing to me that it didn't get broken as the kids were growing up - like so many other things did. So glad it survived.

  28. That is a stunning window. I like its curve and grand scale, not to mention the wonderful deep sill. So lovely!

  29. That window is wonderful, what a lovely place and I wonder how many others have photographed it's beauty over the years. Very nice shares!

    Definitely a window worth noticing - and the human figure in it makes it more interesting and rich. I read that somewhere about landscape photography. Maybe it is true of architectural as well!

  31. Beautiful window!!! Yes.

    And also....

    A mosaic as a delightful way to use photography, to illustrate your point...

    ...Of looking more deeply, into what we are seeing.

    Another example of the uniqueness of this blog...

    Lovely photography, yes. But lots of blogs feature lovely photography.

    Interesting thoughts, yes. But lots of blogs feature interesting thoughts.

    Your way of combining these things, makes your blog unique.

    And "unique" is a wonderful word, to me, anyway. :-)
