I love this beautiful window amid the textures of the aging wall, and the power cables did not bother me, but I find Patrick's version interesting, too.:)

Thank you so much for your thorough, interesting and kind comment, Newfman J:-) It really is a bright day when someone looks deeper and sees other layers than the obvious.

Indeed Minoo! I didn´t even consider this, but the ageing really appears as signatures - thanks for opening my eyes:-)

An interesting reaction to your photo here Viking. Your title-ing describes much more than what I initially saw in this piece.....that being a window. A very beautiful old window (albeit with much character!)However, as you appropriately pointed out, the utility line adds much more by inclusion. Now I wonder what baud rate this unit connects at? Could it be a T1 line? In a region which enjoys the benefits of satellite communications around the globe, somehow I see this line going to the village switchboard/transfer station rather than supplying broadband internet service(?) The great thing about shots such as yours are, all is not what it seems to the casual observer. The intent of the shooter may not be immediately known, the photo may not, in fact speak for itself. It may mean different things to different people. That my dear, is the beauty of the medium. You capture it well. Best regards Viking Goddess. -john

Oh, I love this one. Years have left their signatures behind, on this wall. Lovely!
Take care,

Dear Al- thanks for commenting. It is very good to see the different reactions to this photo.
For me it was a matter of isolation and life slowly fading away and having the lines of communication as a hope, something/someone to reach out for.

Oh I´m so glad that you like this:-) When walking around taking photos in Portugal, I thought about how you´d love all the photoopportunities there. So much to see, so much beautiful decay.
I appreciate your critique and suggestion. I can see that the lines can seem disturbing. However I thought about them as a symbol of communication. I
thought of an individual sitting behind that window slowly getting old and wrinkled just like the surrounding walls as a strange symbiosis somewhat isolated, but the wires are there either to mock or to encourage to get in touch with someone, to reach out. I also enjoyed these soilcolours. I don´t know if I make any sense?

thanks Patrik: it's true that without wire the picture is more beautiful , but I think it depends on the idea of the author if she want to show the contrast between the old and the new that comes without any respect

Wow... Annemette, I would love to have taken this myself, but I would have done so slightly differently. The two lines cutting across the wall beneath the window are a bit distracting for me... they don't really add anything to the image. Also the bright highlight on one of them draws the eye away from the main subject of the photograph, the beautiful window and the amazingly textured wall. If you'll permit me - and not turn me into a Snailish dictionary - here's a version that is how I might have imagined this scene. I am jealous of this photo and this place... I WISH I'D BEEN THERE! 7++++ and a favourite of mine.
