Open the window

“What keeps earth air breathable? Not oxygen alone. The earth is a freer place to breathe in, every time you love without calculating a return -- every time you make your drudgeries and routines still more inefficient by stopping to experience the shock of beauty wherever it unpredictably flickers.”

― Peter Viereck, Unadjusted Man in the Age of Overadjustment.

Great B&W shot and I really like all the shapes and textures. I like your quote, too.

Cool picture.

The b&w leaves the eye free to enjoy the windows and their carvings - they're very crisp and precise, aren't they? I like them but I have to confess that those verticals immediately above the window panes remind me of egg slicers. :-D
I like the quote too.

Each time I look at this I find myself waiting for a head to pop out of that open window. Beautiful decor on the building. Works well in b&w.
