A local shop window decorated for Christmas. This picture didn’t come out quite as clear as I had hoped, but I was fascinated by all the work that had to go into creating this fantasy scene, and I wanted to share it.
Please be sure and leave the link to your own windows pictures.

Here’s one from me dear Sandra http://lucidgypsy.wordpress.com/2012/12/13/thursdays-windows-3/
A great shot, Gilly. What a lovely house that must have been. What a shame it seems to have been neglected and fallen into disrepair.
I haven’t done one of these windows challenges before and now realise I should posted a Christmas window. Here’s my response anyway http://artifactsandfictions.wordpress.com/2012/12/13/thursdays-windows/
Terrific shot, and how unique! Thank you, Suzanne, for sharing this. But please feel free to post a Christmas window also if you’d like to. We don’t have any limits on this challenge — in fact, no rules at all.
Great job of catching that in the middle of a traffic jam. And I love those reflections. Isn’t it interesting that so often, if we really look, we can see a picture of two different things at once thanks to reflections.
Also, I love your header photo. A totally unique way to approach the Christmas theme for your site. Really creative.
Lovely window, Sandra. Here’s my contribution.

Hey, this one is really special. Beautiful shot.
Once again a beautiful window here’s my entry for this week http://gertygiggles.wordpress.com/2012/12/13/thursdays-windows-week-13/
You are so right: the colors are gorgeous! And I wish I could be inside looking out those windows. That perspective would make the world below interesting.
Hi Sandra, here is my entry for this week!!! ENJOY!

Oh, very pretty, Cee! Do they have all those designs and colors as part of the window all the time — or does the design change with seasons or events?
I really don’t know if they change the glass ornaments or not. I’ve only been to Tacoma that one day.
Hi Sandra. I took the advice you gave previously [no rules…I love no rules] and posted two windows. Both Christmas but very different.

Thanks for running this challenge. it is a lot of fun
Very neat, Jo. And that window at St. Paul’s is truly beautiful. Also — I agree: don’t like rules.
I love when I meet other NO RULES lovers…maybe next week I’ll post from inside St Pauls.

Great photo. I have always loved windows in the second and third stories of business buildings. They are often unique, and I think they must have many stories they could tell. I often find myself tending to take pictures of those kinds of windows too. In fact, my photo next week will be of a business building right in the middle of town that lights its upstairs windows with red and green lights for the Christmas holidays.
Here is my entry this week: http://ohmsweetohmdotme.wordpress.com/2012/12/13/photo-challenge-thursdays-windows-week-13/
Wow, just think how much work and care went into the construction of that building.
You have got that right! Just getting the materials and workforce out to the island is an impressive feat.
It’s so intriguing, isn’t it, to try to imagine what all was involved in the lives of the people who built the building, worked in it, and were treated in it? There’s so much living that goes on in a building — so many people who stood and looked out of that window . . .
That’s why windows fascinate me so.

Very nice. I bet that was SOME house.
I love all those paper(?) snowflakes! You’re right, they must have taken a lot of time and thought. Here’s my window of the week – http://newpillowbook.wordpress.com/2012/12/13/thursdays-windows-needle/
Super Neat! Thanks for sharing this one.
Hi Sandra, nice window picture you have posted. I could not get decorated window. I’m new here this is my first entry -http://amaltaas.wordpress.com/2012/12/14/photo-challenge-thursdays-windows-week-13/
Indira, your link to your window post isn’t working for some reason. I can follow the link from the blog itself to get to your site, so at least people can do that. But if you’d like to try posting it again, you’re very welcome to do so. It’s one of the most charming pictures we’ve had on this challenge. How wonderful to have a little bird visit you every day. My father had a squirrel that lived in our neighborhood come and visit him every day for a couple of years. If my dad didn’t come to the door as quickly as the squirrel wanted, he would climb up onto the door and chatter away until he got attention.
Thanks for sharing this with us.

Thanks, Sofie. I love balcony windows. There’s just something so special about them.
That’s a pretty window scene, I like the all white theme. Mine is also a Christmas window: http://wp.me/T3BE
So interesting. I’ve never seen anything like this.
Tis the season

Pretty. I like the colors!
and this from my photo blog http://beyondthebrushphotography.wordpress.com/2012/12/19/window-in-venice/
Very neat! What an attention-getter: all that huge expanse of wall and such a tiny window. Makes you realize that man recognizes a need to connect with others — even when a lot of brick and concrete would try to keep him from it, doesn’t it?
