    I love doors and windows. I am curious about what a duck landing is. Do ducks actually land on that bar or is that just an expression?

  3. "Duck landing"? This is a phrase with which I'm not familiar...I assume it has reference to the area behind the wee fence...

    And I can see the wire to pull the shutters shut on the poor little ducks stuck on the landing. Sheesh!

    And I thought that was a reflection in the window but upon further investigation it appears to be some kind of painted shade...am I correct or can I not see, either?

    :-)

    That's an elaborate etching in the glass. There are subtle details in the shutters that interest my eye as well.

  14. This is a very strange window to say the least...is it a reflection behind a duck landing? or what? It is amazing that you would be able to capture a duck in this manner so I am wondering...

    OK I get it now. I didn't see the etched window until I looked at the larger view.

  19. When I enlarged the photo, it appeared to me that the duck might have been the pattern of a lace curtain inside the window.

  20. Ah, c'est mignon! On s'attend a un gros splash sur un etang et on se retrouve avec une jolie fenetre toute romantique!

  21. @ Dave & Brattcat in particular and @ all: it is, of course, a curtain.

    @ Bob: technically it's still spring. Feels like the end of winter though.

    This photo looks like the opening of a movie scene. What will happen behind the curtain? on the terrace?

    Have a great week!
