Windows and Doors – Nääs Castle II

Friday My Town Shoot Out

Another FTMSO topic that gives me a reason to show some more photos from a visit to Nääs Castle last summer.

In case you missed the previous post about Nääs, or wish to refresh your memory, you can find it here: Frozen in Time

▲ Lots and lots of windows in this building… ▼

I’ve been to crafts exhibitions here in the past. There was nothing going on in that room just now – BUT…

… there was an outdoors exhibition to do with building techniques and doors and windows…

Ruby Tuesday: Demolition

The demolition of the old factory building down by the river is progressing slowly. I guess they intend to reuse some of the material – probably not in this spot, but somewhere.

Friday My Town: Hidden Niches

  

This was a difficult theme for me this week. I’ve not had opportunity to be out and about much, there are very icy and unfriendly winds blowing outside anyway and people are withdrawing to their indoors hidden corners. I also have no tags in my photo archives that fit this theme.

However, above are two suggestions from the recent Home & Garden Fair – which can’t really be called hidden since the whole idea of a fair is to expose things; and although they may be doing their best to look like quiet spots, the whole thing was really an extremely noisy affair!

I also recalled the window niches in our old Town Hall/ Courthouse. They’re hidden in the sense that most people never go inside this building. I’ve been there a couple of times on Open House days with guided tours though.

And since this is not just any Friday but Good Friday:

The niche behind the altar in the oldest church in town;
a church where I have a few times participated in all of the liturgical Easter services, from “Last Supper” Thursday to “Emmaus” Monday. Together they constitute a whole drama; and the Midnight Mass between Easter Eve and Easter Sunday is one in itself.

More hidden niches will be revealed here:

Ruby Tuesday: Doors and Windows

A “new old” building. Some years ago the old wooden building was to be repaired but when they started the job they found it to be in such a bad state that it came to be replaced by a new “look-alike” building. I’m glad they kept the old style though, we have very few old wooden buildings in the town centre because of big fires back in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries.

Mosaic Monday: Reflection Patchwork

I’m still fascinated by those window reflections of water reflections
of trees and sky… (compare last week’s Watery Wednesday).
I kept playing with them in Picasa: cropping, turning
upside-down, putting together again…

Snowbound

 

 

I was snowbound again during the weekend, so had to amuse myself with taking pictures of indoor decorations. (This is my kitchen window.)

According to weather forecasts, the past weekend was just a practice round for Christmas. More snow to be expected Thursday and all through Christmas Eve.
