A window is not only to look out of.




Window:
The English word  “Window” has its origin, so the Cambridge Dictionary tells me, in the Old Norse, where it was a “Windauga,” an “eye for the wind.”
Cambridge continues: “It is a space, usually filled with Glass to allow (….....) people inside the building to see out.
Well, They are only half right with this definition, since a Window also allows people to see “in”.
May I present to you, Windows along the Kärntner Straße in Vienna, for example, where you are definitely invited to “see in.”








There is also the window in a church, which is meant to allow only light into the inside and which is almost always used to carry decorative motives.

And finally, there are windows, 
which invite small boys to throw stones at .



Windows in an abandoned building!
They won't last long.
Small boys will come


Small Boys have come!
