Lens-Artists Photo Challenge: #79 WINDOW WITH A VIEW

This week Amy is inviting us to show a few pictures of a “Window with a View”.  As a few of you know, I have a camera close by even if it is only my iPhone, which by the way takes some really good pictures!  These window shots are from vastly different types of windows and, I think, they all have an interesting view!

 

“Your desire to be near to a window is your desire to be close to life!” ― Mehmet Murat ildan

 

This was taken through the window of a passenger jet while flying over the Atlantic Ocean from St. Kitts to the east coast of the United States. The sunlight on the clouds and the cloud formation was too beautiful to pass up.

 

 

“The walls are bare; look out of the window and you have a finer sight than any painter has ever placed on a piece of canvas.”  ―  Iain Pears, The Portrait.

 

On one of our trips to Boston, we stayed on the 32th floor in the hotel and had a beautiful view overlooking Boston Harbor.  I decided to take the liberty and be a little creative with the scene since the hotel window was tinted and the subject was quite a distance away.

 

This particular “Window With A View” may be a stretch for the challenge topic.  This was taken in the New England Aquarium in Boston.  The various dramatic colors of the fish and sea life are so striking.

 

“My favorite journey is looking out the window.” – Edward Gorey

 

This view is from the top floor of the hotel in St. Kitts, looking out towards the Caribbean Sea shortly after a heavy shower. 

 

“There’s a world out there….Open the window, and it’s there.” – Robin Williams

 

When looking out of our window early one morning I couldn’t help but notice one of our neighbors having a delightful breakfast!
