Through a window

Through a window
Saturday Self Challenge: Photograph the view out of a window and use your window as a frame for the picture.

Our home was built at the second half of the 19th century, and still has the original sash windows in 2 of the upstairs rooms. The sash windows are ill-fitting and draughty, and so there are 2 panels of secondary glazing in front to minimize the problem. The whole window consists of 2 larger sections topped by 12 small square panes. The paintwork is poor as is the putty work, and at least 2 of the small panes have cracks in them, which you might be able to see in the PiP.

Great view Amelia. I love old sash windows. I had them in a previous house so I can vouch for the draughtiness!

You have a fabulous view there, the light in your main photo is perfect!
German windows sometimes have the other extreme- too well insulated so you get mould inside if people don't open their windows often enough;-)

These old windows are special, I like them even if they do not protect very well!

I love both shots very much, Amelia, you managed to succeed with light balance between interior and exterior areas. I love your windows, too, by the way, so full of character!

I love the old windows with bull's-eyes pane- unfortunately they're draughty.
