Description
By all rights, this should probably be part of my "Light and Glass" series. However, every time I looked at this image, I started singing that song in my head, and "Light and Glass: Bathroom Window" just didn't have the same feel to it.
I was standing in the living room of Trent and Dave's new house, and took a picture through the window, across a courtyard, to the outside of the house on the other wall (90 degrees from where I was standing). That really IS a bathroom window!
What caught my eye about this was all the natural layers of reflection and distortion.
First, I'm looking through a window that was original to the house, which was built in 1922. The glass is a bit wavy, and creates a visual distortion.
Second, there are reflections on the living room window, which show up as vertical and horizontal white streaks. (There's no furniture in the house to reflect. Wouldn't that be cool?)
Third, the bathroom window is also from 1922, and you can see how it distorts the blinds. Of course part of the distortion of the blinds is because of the living room window, so you get two for the price of one!
Last, there are reflections in the bathroom window of a tree that's outside, out of view in the courtyard.
This house will be extensively remodeled, and the courtyard and that bathroom window will be going away, so this is a view that won't be available in a couple of years. A little slice of history for you!
(I'm partial to the Joe Cocker version, myself.)
