Close a door another window opens...

To quote Maria from the 'Sound of Music' - when one door closes...another window opens.  I am drawn to doors and windows.  Perhaps it's something subliminal like beginnings and endings.

Perhaps, but I think it is something about framing a space that I like, a door or window sets a point of perspective.  Each of these pictures look to me like true pieces of art.

Windows in frame

Stained glass or bevelled, windows seem to hold some kind of attraction.  You just have to look at my blog background!  It says it all. I like the way windows provide an optical point to a room, and can change lighting in rooms.  These are just a few snapshots of some of the windows I like.

Antique glass window

Stained glass at its best!

Arched windows are beautiful and give a majestic feel to a room

Stained glass window - Canterbury Cathedral

Window?  Glass roof really Galleries Lafayette, Paris

The frames that make up this window give the room order

Arched window - is there anything more to say?

Peace at last.  Arched window, pink & green decor.
