It didn’t seem that any of…… Continue reading Cafe Art and Photopainting

A day for gotchas

Monday Window – 2
Monday Window – Looking Up Sometimes when you look up at windows they seem to take on a different character. They seem to be looking out, far above, unconcerned with the goings-on below them. Then again, sometimes you can see in and just barely imagine what is happening there. .:. © 2016 Ludwig Keck

Even the door “handles” are simple rectangular metal bars. But surrounding the door are impressive, large windows reaching up to form a…… Continue reading Thursday Doors – 2
