Open-closed. Seen in Chantiers neighourhood. There is a reflection on Artsy Versailles.

Vues à Chantiers. Il y a un reflet sur Artsy Versailles.

  1. Ok.. 17th century town is young town by European standards ! Wow ... and I think 300 years of history brings out a lot of character in a town !

  2. I wonder if the windows belong to different occupants and how much this open/close tells us about them.

  5. We just normally don't have shutters which we can open and close around here....

  6. It's a little scary. The shadow looks like a squared-off person with arm raised, holding a gun. Maybe just my feverish imagination.

  8. The details above the windows are beautiful. Maybe the sun is still too warm to open the other set of shutters. :)

  9. I've always wanted shutters, somehow they seem to look a bit romantic, I think Magpie might be right Ciel, when the shade moves over the other shutter will be opened I think!!

    That IS a coincidence about the Ozarks. I can tell you they are very scenic (though molehills compared to the Alps!) I love shutters, wish I had some - they're far superior to flimsy blinds in my opinion!
