Through a window (reflection abstracts)

Published on May 13, 2024 by bushboy15 Comments

Don’t worry it’s safe, I didn’t do much other than clean up the photos. They aren’t like my water abstracts, these photos are life as I saw it.

Looking across the street from my hotel room in Sydney at a couple playing pool. The reflections in the glass give it a surreal feeling as does the background.

Stopped, waiting for a car to park I liked the number of things going on in the window, reflections of reflections. I was the passenger so I could take my time

If that didn’t do your head in then this one will. I was seated at the window of a cafe and thought I’d take a photo of the windows on the building across the street. There was a lot of reflection, so I tried to reduce the glare. It’s then when the reflection of the wall, looking through the window at the clocks in the shop next to the cafe, appeared from a dark background.

A day in Glen Innes (window version)

I went to Glen Innes, a town on the tablelands up the mountain from my place on the weekend. A roam around town yielded a few window gems. It was a dull cold day and poured rain in the afternoon.

The modern stained glass windows of the pub. Hard to get photos that I liked.

This is one of the oldest windows I found in the main street. The Post and Telegraph Office built in 1896. Add it to the arched windows collection.

Built in 1895 these windows were on the first floor and the building was the Bank of NSW until 2009 when it became a private residence. These are The Bank Guest House windows now.

There are still some art deco style buildings in the main street. The Supreme Building is my favourite, it’s a pity I couldn’t find out more about the building. I think it was built in the early 1930’s

For those wondering why I called this post the windows version, Glen Innes also has doors, so wait until Thursday for the door version of Glen Innes.

The all window frontage or at what stage does a window become a wall

This used to be a beautiful old building . The usual prefer to spend million building something than a million repairing something that has been there for decades and withstood floods.
Th upside is the heavy wood and full glass swing doors that were the front doors, are now my sliding back doors.

It’s full (of wool)

This building has always intrigued me as a kid as I could see it from the train when I went on that line. I have never been close to it other than drive by. I looked up a bit about it for you and me.

The Goldsbrough was designed as a wool store by William Pritchard and was built by the Stuart brothers in 1883. Although the exterior highlighted the conservative Victorian values of the day, the interior was modern and featured hydraulic goods and passenger lifts and a sawtooth glazing roof with ground glass that provided a glare-free viewing area.
The Goldsbrough could house 50,000 bales which had to be stored, moved into the viewing room where they were classified, then taken back to storage.
In 1924, three floors were added to the Goldsbrough, then in 1935 it caught fire and burned for almost two weeks. The building was restored by it’s original builders, Stuart Brothers, who kept to the original exterior plan.
In 1995 this heritage building was converted to apartments, with the addition of four floors. The exterior remains true to the original design……

Windows (on water)

A while ago I spent a few days in Sydney. The harbour is a wonderful place. I love the ferries and have since I was small going on the ferries to various locations around the harbour.

This first one is a ring in but has maximum windows. The ferries used to be hired out for Sydney Harbour party boats

The Alexander is one of the older ferries but one of the cutest.

The Pemulwuy is one of the more robust ones that goes out of the Sydney Heads to Manly

Just another view

These are fast compared to ferries

They must be, it says so

Not the Mersey but what other song did you expect

A random photo from a car found during my backlog cataloguing, taken a long while ago, before I discovered Monday Window.
Sometimes I wonder why I take some photos 🤔

Afternoon Tea with The Kinks

The strange (and downright weird)

Sometimes you’re walking down the back alleys, as you do, looking up you stop in amazement or wonder or shock

Anyone I should know?

Tasteful curtains

I guess skeletons or bones is a theme

How much is that doggie in the window

Arches (expressive additions)

Another grouping in my window clean out. This week it’s the turn of the windows with arches. Just one window not like the last lot that were two windows with eyebrows.

I went past the Crown Hotel in the hope the main accommodation area was open as it was mid-morning. This is the window I wanted the outside view from.
