What the shots say to me: Bars and Vines–no matter what you do, you cannot keep beauty out. The Murtagh quote is the best argument for photography ever. Paddington Fresh Foods made me laugh out loud because the contrast between the windows and the claim is so extreme. And Window & Duct is a great persuader for knowing you always have a choice in what you wish to see. A+ as always, Jane.

Photography as is can sometimes be only maniac collecting of conservational acts.
I think a good photo shows the soul of the photographed object or person, perhaps even an interpretation.
You set of photos is marvellous, Jane!
