admiring the view

Looks better on a black background

I love the view from this window in our bedroom at this time of year.

365 does have a strange effect on some of us - I even cleaned the window before taking this shot. The bear is 'Pip', my childhood bear which belonged to my Dad's cousin before it belonged to me, so it is probably about 70 years old.
What a gorgeous composition jan. I have always wanted a window seat like this, I can empathise with you cleaning your windows, all ours look like yours and they are not easy to clean. What a lovely old bear, well loved and he knows it!

beautiful! :-)

I love this shot! Found it on the trending page -- I too have a bear from a cousin. The bear (Teddy) is at least as old as yours and a bit more threadbare. Your shot actually conveys a lot of emotion as well as the beauty of the scene outside.
November 12th, 2013  
Such an enchanting shot, I too found this on the trending page
November 12th, 2013  
Great shot! I have also tidied a bookshelf before a shot!
November 12th, 2013  
This is lovely. Yes I have cleaned the windows too prior a shot! Great autumn view and the window and seat are so picturesque. Pip looks very intact for his age! Saw you on trending page too. Fav

What a very pretty window, I can now image what the rest of the house looks like, and pip makes a perfect prop.
November 13th, 2013  
It is very nice to see an HDR shot done sensitively without all that surreal stuff that was around a few years back. Excellent composition with the curtains acting as a natural frame.
November 13th, 2013  
This is such an inviting photograph Jan! I makes me want to be a in it so I can look out the window.
November 13th, 2013  
@nairda Thanks Adrian. HDR is often seen as a bit of a dirty word, probably for the reasons you say, but with the great contrasts in the shot with my lighting skills (pretty much none!) I can't see how else I could have done it.
November 13th, 2013  
this is darling!...love the view from the window too
November 14th, 2013  
Congrats on making the popular page! Very nicely composed photo with the curtains acting as a natural frame! Oh so comfy and homey!
