Nice little window. If it was in Bavaria folks wuld say that a cute putto angel has soon to look out from above his white bedding aired in the opening... ;o)

I've not heard that one. We look to see if there's enough blue to make a pair of sailor's trousers.

I think this is a terrific shot. Nice brick and slate colours caught by the sun and a super sky.

The idea of that white framed smal holes in the sky being for little angels to look downward comes from baroque church ceilings I guess. It was popular once in churches to paint oppulent illusionist skies with bulging clouds and those dwelling in heaven peeping down from holes on the comunity, not only the cute baby angels but all sorts of saints and belated honorations. But I guess this is a thing rather limited to countries catholic at those times...
