Thank you for posting "the eyes" of a structure, as I like to refer to them. You just reminded me of a really great story. Now I am going to have to write it.
Martin, that's a painted quilt. A lot of places have what they call Quilt Trails -- public and private buildings put up these painted quilts as decoration and there will be little maps for folks to follow to see all the quilts. I need to do a post on this...

I'm the author of The Elizabeth Goodweather Appalachian Mysteries from Bantam Dell. The series includes SIGNS IN THE BLOOD (LA MONTAGNE DES SECRETS in France), ART'S BLOOD, (LE SECRET DES APPALACHES in France,) OLD WOUNDS,IN A DARK SEASON (Anthony Nominee, Best PBO), and UNDER THE SKIN. There's also THE DAY OF SMALL THINGS (a spinoff/standalone)chronicling the unexpected life story of Miss Birdie, one of Elizabeth's neighbors.
I came to this weird business late (my first novel was published in 2005) and am still trying to figure it out.
As my novels are set in a place much like my real life home, I thought I'd use this blog to share pictures of our farm and county. I've been blogging for over four years now, on an almost daily basis, and the topics have ranged from writing, chickens, food, books, quilts, flora and fauna of all sorts, to the occasional tiny rant. There's no plan, but there are lots of pictures.
There's more information about me and my books on my web site: http://vickilanemysteries.com/

Security Feeds looks a bit insecure.
What is that, next the window in the second shot?
I love this topic and the way you deal it!

Very interesting, and some very unique windows!
the built and rebuilt is my fav...the car window cracked me up...esp considering the dent beneath and the sticker on it...lol
How fascinating. Each a 'window' to another soul, another story. Thank you.
Very interesting pics...love the reflections!

Well done, Vicki! The top one has to be a country church. Jim
What a fascinating study!! All windows and all so different. I could look at these for such a long, long time and still find something new.
Fascinating...I do believe that the windows add soul to the house. Mona
Jim, Those windows are indeed from a country church -- Anderson Branch Freewill Baptist. Good call!
Lovely collection of windows!
