Ministerial duties on behalf of a grieving family came ahead of my blog work this week, so I am late posting the ‘Thursday’s Windows’ article, but here it is. The first photo is of the front window at the City Hall Building in a neighboring town — part of their Christmas celebration.
The camel, of course, was part of the wise men’s entourage and on its way to this next scene — in the other front window of City Hall.

Here is my entry for this week: http://ohmsweetohmdotme.wordpress.com/2012/12/27/photo-challenge-thursdays-windows-week-15/
Now THAT is what I call WINDOWS!!! I think you should get a prize of some kind. This is fantastic. Thanks for sharing it.
Very fitting window images for the Christmas season. 😉 Here is the link to my windows post. http://adinparadise.wordpress.com/2012/12/27/thursdays-cold-windows/
These are all absolutely lovely. Our snow made some really pretty pictures, but since it was between 12 to 15 inches in most places, we were not very happy with it at all.

I love historic buildings. And the architecture of the windows is almost always special in some way.
I know! It’s so awesome!
The camel is so funky!

That whole building is bright and cheery. I like the windows very much. And I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your newest header photo.
About the camel: that particular city is situated with the downtown district in a circle around a central clock tower. I was driving in the one-way traffic around that circle one day a few weeks before Christmas and glanced over to the city hall building. I was in moving traffic and could not stop, but when I saw that camel, I thought, “Wait a minute! Did I just see a full-sized camel in that window? Needless to say, I had to check it out more thoroughly.
I’m late with Thursday’s Windows due to a death in our family. Not only am a relative, by as a minister all the duties of helping plan the funeral and officiate at it this morning fell to me, so most any kind of blogging had to take a back seat for the past several days. It’s good to be back in touch.
I’m sorry for you and your family’s loss.
A life-size camel in a window would get my attention too! What a great way to draw attention to the windows for the nativity scene. I missed last week’s windows theme, but I finally got this week’s up: http://wp.me/pT3BE-PG
Wonderful Epiphany photos, Sandra! My window of the week – http://newpillowbook.wordpress.com/2013/01/03/thursdays-windows-in-the-bay/
Wow, that’s getting up close and personal with the ocean, is it not?
The waves put on quite a show! There’s a pier behind the restaurant where you usually see people fishing or just wave watching – but not this past weekend.
And now that I’ve read the other comments – Sandra, I’m so sorry for your loss – I didn’t realize at first that it was someone in your own family.
Thank you. It was a cousin. But our family, particularly, on one side, are very close, and most of the cousins look to me as the “family” minister. So the responsibilities of consoling, arranging, and conducting funeral services falls largely to me. It’s a great privilege, but can be a great strain on all other responsibilities and activities during that time period.
My condolences as well. I’m sorry I missed those comments last week to say so.
