Arches (expressive additions)

Ludwigs Monday Window

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.

This poor old Lismore window has seen better days

What do you think of the mix of two styles one atop the other? I like the ground floor window.

A church window in Sydney from colonial times. Perhaps the place is getting a make over

Ludwigs Monday Window

Toowoomba, a city in SE Queensland with a rich heritage and people intent on preserving it. Firstly some of the older buildings whose window have seen a lot since the 1850’s. It’s a pity some of the windows have been updated but not that many are noticeable, if they have been replaced.

The Court House

The old Police Station I think

It’s a pity I couldn’t get the lower shop front windows. Next time get in early and put out traffic cones. Here’s a bit of trivia. In Australia we call them Witches Hats

I was amazed that the buildings colour changed from another angle

There weren’t many windows with triangles above them

This one has a mix over the windows that need love

Arch shape had a good run. I like the detail and blue

I find this elegant, maybe it the moustache. I wonder what the original windows looked like

I think these had had a few repairs by different builders. More arches

Aren’t these windows great. The narrow one in the middle is the stairway

But for sheer show stopping the White Horse Building is the place

The startled look with a blend of Inca and Islam or Indian. A classic Art Deco

The only bay windows I found, probably more from the 50’s

I’ve saved ugly for last. I wonder if a good clean would be an improvement

Wood (fancy fittings)

Dan’s Thursday Doors

I did a trawl back through my Thursday Door photo folders as I don’t have anything to start the year. Luckily I found this cafe door in Toowoomba from 2022 that didn’t get used.

It looks a quite sturdy narrow door. The slide sign and handles don’t look “off the shelf” to me.
