One of my pet peeves are silly, ornamental shutters on houses. Especially when they wouldn't even cover the window if they could be used. This one looks substantial.
I do now that you mention it. Do you do water colors (note the correct spelling, ahem) and therefore see things with water color vision ? I'm stuck with a photographer's view of the world.
This is a beautiful photo. For some reason, no one seems keen on taking photos of window shutters, except you! They're oftentimes ignored, so seeing a photo exclusively showing one is quite nice. And as you said, these types of shutters are actually useful in any weather. Greg Arnett @ SunburstShuttersAZ.com
Almost looks like a painting. The red used to come from ox-blood paint.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's what I like about it. I had not heard of ox-blood paint. Interesting.
DeleteWooden shutters are much more interesting -in more than one way- than our electrical white ones! That includes the possibility to make a nice picture.
ReplyDeleteYes, I like it when something ages gracefully even when it's slowly getting worse. Would they we all could do that.
DeleteIt's wonderfully worn!
ReplyDeleteI would hope people would say the same about the photographer.
Deleteyou have the best collection of windows/shutters!
ReplyDeleteWell it does keep getting bigger !
DeleteIsn't it amazing that a simple weathered shutter and bricks become a work of art?
ReplyDeleteIt is. Obviously I never tire of taking photos of them.

ReplyDeleteI totally agree. But you don't see them here. Until we moved here I never realized how functional they are in both winter and summer.
DeleteI can just see this as a water colour painting Stuart.. do you see it?
