POTD CHALLENGE: SUMMER

I am happy for this particular theme, but the season hasn't really come to us yet. Anxious to be back, I am posting just a couple of ho-hums; no great photography. But at least we had one day to be in the sun this week! Note the actual shadows - something we haven't seen all year!
Here is dgr.gr.son, helping out:

POTD CHALLENGE: WINDOWS

The following sets of posts are for catching-up with the current challenge. I have been out of town this week, and unable to post, OR take photos.

And here is the heart of old Pioneer Seattle, which has character-enough to spare, but even more by poking down an alley!
What alley would be complete without broken windows?
Next time you have the opportunity, poke down some alleyways for the fun of it!

The only way to display some of my window collection is to put them in categories - then I won't get too carried-away! So, here, sooc, hand-held, are some "shuttered" windows:

I have collected so many windows! So many moods! So much history and culture is shown by windows. Here, I add a sample of what I call "pampered" windows; i.e. decorated and well-tended.

Another category: round windows!
All are sooc, hand-held. Some from the outside; some from the inside:



I call this one "Sleeping Beauty":

POTD CHALLENGE: WINDOWS

I love windows! There are so many personalities in windows: the ones that make me curious, like the one below:This one is seen only by its shadow:
Window to the wide blue yonder:
This one is more for display than for looking in or out:
Such style!:
