Inspired by Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #79: A Window with a View
…Share with us photos you’ve captured through windows.
~~~
As I have mentioned before in several posts, I enjoyed a photographer’s paradise last summer when visiting the Shelburne Museum in Vermont. Twice actually…as there was so much to see I had to return! Not just to photograph, but to experience.
Why couldn’t history lessons be this fascinating back in high school?
For this challenge, I will include two images.
The first was taken while walking across a double-lane wooden covered bridge. It was built in 1845…a weathered sign warns bridge crossers riding horses or automobiles not to exceed 10 miles per hour.
I discovered a window about halfway across the bridge…offering a glimpse across the pond beneath.
The second window was in one of the 39 buildings situated throughout 45 acres of museum grounds.
Showcasing a small sample of the vibrant, colorful flowers blooming in one of the 22 gardens on the property.
Both beautiful OLU, loved the shadows in the second image

That view of the flowers through the window is wonderful! And I agree with Tina that the shadows really add to the image.

Great job finding shadows to frame the shots! I love peeking through the windows you shared. It’s fun reading your back story to what attracted you to the photo op too.

“Why couldn’t history lessons be this fascinating back in high school?” A question I often had too…Love both your choices, but the last one stands out to me – looking very special from that angle, and the gravel and flowers on the other side.
