Ludwig’s Monday Window
I have been able to get around town and gather a few more, plus I saw some I’ll have to go back for.
This looks like it has been a recent DYI repair. The flashing tape at the back gives it away

Tastefully restored and retained, even though the windows are aluminum. I like the brackets. I’ll have to try for a side on photo

Another recent restoration. You can see what I mean about the flashing at the rear of the shade. Just plain brackets but the angle is rather sharp. You would have to be sitting down to sticky beak at the neighbours

Ordinary. Nothing flash. They look like a shed job many years ago well restored. I think the owners were in the army, maybe the Q-Store and had some left over paint, if you know what I mean lol

These look fine now, but they may get awfully grubby and mossy.

Some are a bit how ya going, but in the main seem ok. It’s more mould growing around this way

Have the homeowners ever asked you what you’re doing with a camera pointing at their house?

No one but then again not many people have been around when I have. Some I do from the car if I drive by if I see a shade and just want to get a photo.
I often think of what to say if asked

There are some parts of town I wouldn’t try to take photos. I’d end up in the local FB page where all things that are happening get posted

That is what it is called here as well. As I live in a dead end street, everyone knows who drives along the road

I like these very much! Some of the older homes in my area have awnings, but made of cloth

Thanks Lisa. I have been looking around town for some canvas ones and I think I know where I may find one or two. 🙂

Another great collection, Brian. I think the sharp-angle people have been rather canny. If you sit down for a nosey at the neighbours, they won’t see you. As for the paint, I’ve always had a soft spot for olive green 😉

Thanks Susan. You? Olive green? I thought dress whites may have been more of a turn on 😁

🤣 Sheesh, no. I like the olive green from my old Army cadet days before I joined the Navy.

Another great collection. Intriguing variety of corrugated metal awnings.

I liked the variety as well. I held back on my confession lol
I might do a special confessional post next week

You noticed that I gave you an opening there – calling them awnings.

I would think those steep shades would make it a bit dark inside and you wouldn’t be able to see out.

Darker is right. Not to my taste
