I’m struggling to fit eveything in tonight because I’m going to my daughter’s in Nottingham for the weekend tomorrow. But it’s Thursday, and that means a lingering look at windows, right?
I thought I’d simply show you more of the trompe l’oeuil windows that I featured in Sonel’s black and white photo challenge this week, but in colour, of course. Which is quite amusing because Dawn at Lingering Visions has chosen to use black and white photos for the challenge. They are really fabulous, so do go and look.
My “windows” are a feature of the Italian restaurant “La Spaghettata” in Durham. I think you’ll agree, they lend a wonderful atmosphere.
I especially love murals so I just love love love this!

Wonderful choices for the challenge, my favourite being the 2nd one. There’s something about the light there making it magical for me. 🙂

Many thanks Lisa- they’ve been like that for as long as I can remember. I guess it doesn’t matter if they fade a little with time. 🙂

Where is she? Mine is only a couple of hours away by car but we only meet a few times a year. 🙂

She’s only 3 – 4 hours away depending on the traffic on the M25 which seems to be worse every time I go on it! We used to be 40 mins away so saw her and the grandkiddies every couple of weeks or so. Now it’s more like 2-3 times a year 😦
Still better than Australia where my eldest son lives, and where she is aiming for 😉
