I have always looked out of windows. In fact I wish I had a collection of all the places I have been and the pictures from those windows. There is something very simple and yet profound about recording the here and now, as you contemplate the world from your window on it. Mashable<\/a> posted a collection of 50 pictures from around the world that were taken from a window. Here are mine.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nThis is a view at night from my dining room window to the apartments at the bottom of the garden. The picture is a little shaky, but I often muse about the lives of the people there.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nFrom a train window, I took this picture of the marble mountains in Carrera Italy. I remember when I read The Agony and the Ecstasy, the marble for The David came from Carrera.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nCharlevoix, Quebec taken across the St. Lawrence from my hotel room window. I plan to go there some day for the quality of the light.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nThese are icicles from the eaves taken from a bedroom window. – a little sparkle in winter!<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nThis is the view from the dining room window in summer. It’s an escape!!<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

I was fascinated by the trains. This is Port Arthur (Thunder Bay) Ontario from my hotel room window.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nFrom my car window in the parking lot at work, in the pouring rain.<\/p>\n

I have more, but I will save them for another post. A camera says so much about you. You select the views that seem important to you at the time. I think that I have written a post about all of these.<\/p>\n

What do you see from your windows?<\/p>\n

Have a great day!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
