Seen Better Days

I am creating a mini theme of my own at the moment and posting a week of window photos.

Today's photo is a collage of four windows of a pigeon loft at Maitland.

We had gale force winds last night and lost a few branches from our trees. We have quite a mess to clear up when the wind finally dies down.

I went out this morning to take photos of our what is normally the sheltered side of the bay but as the winds were from the west our usually millpond ocean has waves on it. I will post those photos once I have finished my window theme.

They surely more photogenic than their better days.

it's fun doing your own themes when it feels right - interesting collection!

[Beryl Lloyd]

Great symmetry - and certainly a fitting title !

[Kathy A]

Great window collection

[Babs]

@koalagardens Thanks. I really don't have the time or patience to do a whole month of a particular theme very often, so a week is just about my limit before I get bored. ha ha.

[Diana]

What a great idea, lovely shapes and textures. Your title sure describes it very well, are they still in use?

[Wylie]

windows full of character.

[Dianne]

This is very effective.

[Peter]

Lovely patterns, tones and textures well spotted and captured Babs:)

[Joan Robillard]

nice capures

[Susan Wakely]

In need of a little love and attention. Great finds.

[Suzanne]

Oh I like this very much and you have happened on a favourite theme of mine!

[Judith Johnson]

I don't suppose the pigeons mind

[Renee Salamon]

I love this - good luck with your theme. I just finished my own theme of a month of b&w lights. It was tough but rewarding

[Dione Giorgio]

Lovely images.

[Valerie Chesney]

These re very old & have seen better days but, they have such character.

[Esther Rosenberg]

Great collage of these old windows. Great choice of processing them in B&W.

[Lou Ann]

Great windows! We are experiencing high winds as well, not sure why as there are no storms around.

[John Falconer]

Well spotted. and photographed.

We had the same winds in Sydney so I went for a couple of wild ferry rides on Sydney Harbour.

[Pat]

Great shot, I love a bit of grunge. Terrific textures on the wood.

[Kate]

Lovely B&W

[Junko Y]

Babs, I like how you made a window from your windows! Interesting study, and works particularly well in black and white

[carol white]

Nicely captured

[Margaret Brown]

Super on black

[Pat Knowles]

Mmm they certainly have but I like the vintage look…..not on the house mind you but here it’s fine!

[LManning (Laura)]

I love this.

[gloria jones]

Love the textures of decline...neat shapes

[Ingrid]

I like this! It is almost a picture/game where you look for the differences :)

[Pyrrhula]

At least they gives us a beautiful pic.

[Skip Tribby - ​🖖]

Haven't we all.

[Islandgirl]

Love this in black and white!

[Carole Sandford]

Suits black & white well!

[Shutterbug]

Good theme idea. Love the textures on those window frames.

@ludwigsdiana Yes it is still in use.

@johnfalconer Wow you are brave going on the ferry in all this wind.
A friend of mine flew back to Newcastle last night from Melbourne and twice the plane had to fly to Sydney because it was unable to land here, but after changing the crew it managed to land on its third attempt at Williamtown Airport.

[haskar]

Great b&w collage.

[Pam]

I love the texture, and lighting. They look so good in black and white.

[eDorre]

What a grand shot! Enjoying this series!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Great symmetry and mirroring!

[Annie D]

this looks fab in b&w
