Fönster har alltid varit viktiga för oss – inte minst i länder där ljuset behöver komma in under de mörka vintermånaderna. När jag var barn hade man dubbla fönster med bomull/ull emellan och ibland eterneller därpå.
Inga fönster är mig kärare än de enkla fönster vi har i sommarstugan. De är mycket gamla, med flagnande färg och gistet trä som gör dem svåra att öppna och stänga. Men de är – Sommar. Det andra fotot visar S’t Mary’s Church i Scarborough, som har sällsynt vackra fönsterbågar.
Windows have always been important to us, and I think maybe especially in countries where they are much needed for the light during the dark winter months. When I was a child many windows were double and had a string of cotton or wool in between the two window glasses. Sometimes people decorated with flowers or herbs there as well.
To me, no windows are more beautiful than the simple old windows of our summer house. Their colouring is fading and their wooden frames so worn that they are no longer easy to open and close…but they are – Summer. The second photo shows St Mary’s church in Scarborough – where I simply fell in love with both the windows and their frames.

Wonderful written … wonderful photos. Those childhood windows also gave us beautiful ice crystals during the winter. One of my strongest memories from my childhood.
Yes, I have those memories too. Precious.
Beautiful windows both….and I love the swan feathers sitting by the summer window 🙂
Mmm, collected by my children in times gone by…Sometimes they make a tear or two shine.
Both are so different but equally beautiful!
Thank you, Ese. Both represent inner peace to me.
The summer windows are beautiful, really beautiful. What a lovely idea to hang something between the double windows.

Thank you!
Båda underbara bilder. Den första var den jag föll för direkt, eftersom den representerar ‘hemma’. Tänk vilka små detaljer man lägger märke till när man bor långt borta … fönsterhakarna (kallas de det … de där små grejorna som man stänger fönstret med?), och tegelpannorna på taket…
Ja, det heter de! Jag förstår vad du menar!
I love both of these windows. Especially the second one. And I love the curtains in the first. Just beautiful.
Thank you very much!
