Modern times means that windows aren’t always traditional windows
some are additional monitoring, others can be called false windows.
Some windows are just for show and they are amazing looking
ie looking at not look out of
here is a window from Canterbury Cathedral in UK
as far as I know, this window here is called “The poor man’s window”.
The old danish burial mounds have doors but haven’t any windows.

Hi Drake 😀 You have probably seen many large houses in the UK with windows bricked up. This was due to a window tax in the 1700’s, the amount to pay depended on the number of windows in a house.

Thanks for the link, very interesting… 🙂
Slightly same way in Denmark in the past – there it were the chimneys, which were tax on – the more chimneys the more tax – some farms had 5-6 … 🙂
Great collection of “windows”…..
And very interesting, Ralph’s comment, isn’t it?
Sssshh… non facciamolo sapere ai governanti italiani altrimenti riciclano subito l’idea per tassarci ancora di più! 😉 🙂 ahahah

#.sherrie
Thanks – yeah I didn’t see before you mentioning it – great… 🙂 🙂
You are original – as always, Drake 🙂 Looking outside through the windowsfor me is as interesting as looking inside. Even if they are false or their “mission of being windows” has been completed ages ago. Great captures!
#.ese
Thanks a lot, really appreciate your words… 🙂
Yeah mostly we use windows for looking outside or in stores for looking in – in private homes it isn’t always good taste looking inside through the windows… 😉
Haha, sneaking around somebody’s home eager to have a peek inside….haven’t done that! YET! I am still working on my curiosity and ability not to get caught 😀 😀 😀
It’s said that a real woman have a lot of curiosity
I have never heard why men have it… 🙂 🙂 🙂
You can always blame genes… 😀
‘hahaha’ – you are right… 🙂 🙂
Very unique interpretation!
