The morning looked promising through my front window
Which was good, because I planned to travel up to Durham on the bus, to meet a friend for coffee. After a brisk 20 minute walk, I was on board.
My friend lives in the “New Inn” and works in Durham City, which has a goodly selection of coffee shops. Unfortunately we have to cram all our news into her lunch hour, but it does leave me time to wander with the camera. And you know how I love to do that.
-
I managed to capture a few windows, and their reflection in the River Wear
That way I can claim double the amount of windows!
Time for a little gentle window shopping too
Especially when I can find quirky ones, like this!
I had intended to take a few more bus window shots on the way home. Well, I was just getting in the groove! But the bus windows were so filthy I could barely see out. Perhaps it’s just as well.
- I can’t seem to get out of the habit of of taking a Lingering look at Windows. How about you? I know Dawn loves them. Are you joining her this week?

Nothing wrong with saying that, I do sometimes, and people should think that you mean the original objects are nice, not one’s own photographic creation (if you get my drift)!!
