For Monday Window, this week hosted this week by PR
I am always looking for old Windows to photograph; I find them lovely and charming, often reflecting history and the stories of those who once inhabited the spaces behind them. The scene visible through the window is just as important as the window itself, capturing a moment in time that speaks to me. Generally, the view outside these vintage windows reveals a more beautiful and inviting landscape, rich with character, than what you might observe from many modern windows.
An old window frequently opens up to nature, bustling streets, or quaint village life, a vibrancy that seems to be lost in contemporary architecture. There is indeed more lived life to be seen both inside and out, as each weathered frame and faded sill holds fragments of memories. The contrast between the aged window and the world beyond often tells a story.

Oh, these shots are full of olde-worlde charm and atmosphere.
Good thing, as that was what I was aiming for. They are from an old house that is decorated in old fashion style
A lovely window with so many views and thoughts Ritva 😀 Thank you for taking the time to do the staging to match the mood
Thanks Brian, capturing the mood of a place is the thing
Beautiful Ritva! You do know how to set the scene.
Thanks, I just photograph it 😀 Anne
😍
The last is my favourite (or the first, if you’re counting the Header). Nicely atmospheric xx
Thanks Jo, the header is same photo as the last one.
Yes- that’s exactly what I meant xx
These are great! I can clearly see the allure.
Mission accomplished, thanks Egídio
Love these !
nice to hear, thanks Teresa
This window reminds me of our first home, built in the later 1800’s, cute as a button, the windows so charming! I was very conflicted when we renovated and had to get windows that held heat in lol, clearly not with the same old charm that the original windows had!
They do make old style windows, we are installing them to our extention to our summer house, but they do not have the patina of the old windows
Nostalgic! This is what I like in Europe – a juxtaposition of new and old where the new is not standing out like an eyesore and the old is not crumbling away. Thanks for sharing with Monday Window
Thanks PR, unfortunately we do have what you said here too. That’s just what it is nowadays
Hmm..that’s a pity 😕
