Description
This is the kind of thing I just love, but I know not everyone shares my taste! I guess that's what makes the world go 'round, huh?
I took this at Trent and David's new place. The house was built in 1922, and everything in this shot (except the paint) is original. Wavy glass, real leaded panes, beautiful old radiator ... *sigh* ... this stuff really flips my skirt.
They had me take a bazillion "before" pictures one day. The next time I was there I took a few for my own enjoyment.

I love these old radiators too; excellent capture of the repeating arches, and the light pattern from the windows.
Like it should be hanging in a gallery in Manhattan.
I read that the wavey glass is due to gavity as it sit there for years. this is cool and lovely. love the lighting as it comes thought the windows
great shot...
Great lighting you have captured here.
Excellent shot.
This is great. Great fun and a great view, great perspective, dof, detail. It's a lovely image, and I, too, love the way the light shine in through the glass. It's my understanding that the wavy glass is caused by the way in which the glass was poured.........very old techniques!
excellent image!
I remember that window and the glass but you give them more beauty and depth than I ever could have thought--beautiful!!
You have a great taste to turn a simply radiator into cool abstract. Like a side light.
This is another example of a great shot that can teach me something. I found myself studying the lines and lighting carefully. Really amazing stuff!
Interesting shot! :)
Yes, that is exactly what can give me mouth water. I just love these kinds of shots. Actually I took a shot of an old ladder...maybe I should post it as an answer to this excellent shot. Or of the wooden fence...hmm... now I dont know LOL !
...das ist mal was! Interessante Aufnahme von dem Heizkörper!!!!
Tara, this is a classic! When I first went to art school the first project, which lasted several weeks, was all about white; this would have been a perfect composition for part of that. My house was built in 1923, by the way, but heating was unheard of, I put it in in the seventies! This is a SUPERB compo!
wonderful capture
Excellent idea. Cool results!
Great lighting and shadow play Tara, love this shot!
As a gigantic saw, along the wall..... splendid shot and POV !!
I remember these old radiators back when i was little (my age is showing some when i risk admitting this!) lol ... that old house must be great ... they just don't build or make anything like they used to! Nice shot; love the lighting.
it works really well...... well done my friend
We used to have radiators like this at school, with big 3" steam pipes running from room to room, at home we had a fire, well a big range actually, which the council ripped out in the early seventies. I still miss that range. Lol. Excellent capture Tara, a perfect study of white and light. Superb work. Bravo!!!!!
Interesting display of light and shadow effects in this shot. The radiator resembles the ducting tube that leads out of my clothes dryer and into the wall. Also, any house built in 1922 has got to have ghosts, and the windows are probably painted shut by now.
wonderful capture, Tara May warm hug and love, Linda Kaye
hello tara ,hope you enjoyed your time out :o)..i like this cos its different .excellent shot mick
I remember these radiators, too, so I'm showing my age as well. What really tickled my funny bone was your comment that this type of thing "flips your skirt". I had not heard that expression before and have chuckled about it since first reading the comment. Oh, and a great photo...I kind of got side tracked there.
Superb work.
A truely very interesting perspective. 5++++
excellent lighting
fantastic POV for such a simple, everyday thing...
