Last Friday (week ago) a nearly full moon glared out of a nearly clear sky and everything was bathed in reflected sunlight. I sat on the windowsill while F tried out the capacity of a couple of phone cameras to capture the light.
The best shot she managed served only to highlight the dirt on the windows.
Uggg our windows need doing. But it’s just been too cold and wet to even venture outside. On the nice days the garden calls louder
ReplyDeleteWho really cares? really?
DeleteLooks like snow.
ReplyDeleteLooks like. Most of it is ash from neighbours bonfire! (Which snowed over most of the neighbourhood)
DeleteWe love the shot despite the dirt.
ReplyDeleteCan you believe that when it finally stopped raining here, Gail went out on her old bike and got a puncture half a mile from home. She's just mended it, but had the cheek to complain that my barking at the pump was hindering her from working out where the hole in the inner tube was!
Toodle-oo!
Nobby.
PS Gail complains: And now it's too icy to venture out on the bicycle...
Tell Gail she was lucky it was only half a mile. F's punctures always seemed to be at the furthest point from home. Why did you bark at the pump Nobby? We are about to get our roof lifted off - it has rained a monsoon all morning, sun came out as the front passed over, and now the wind is having a go. I'm nagging my humans to light the fire in the lounge. Paw smacks Mr T
DeleteI’m with Angela - when the sun shines the last thing you want to do is clean windows. The rain will only make them dirty again. I’ll wait until it stops raining before they get done….the way our weather’s going they might be grubby for quite a while 😊
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not Mr B pays someone to do the outside. I like the window cleaner - he has ham sandwiches - but I haven't yet seen him since we got back from Greece. xxx mr T
Deletethe trick to get around the dirt on the window is put the lens touching the glass, or as close as you can get it and it will go around the glass dirt and be clear. of course if there is rain or snow on the outside it might not work. works great on my dirty windows...
ReplyDeleteI think our windows are too dirty even for that. After the neighbours big bonfire a heavy coating of ash has been added to the general grime out there. xxx Mr T
Deletenor fires or ash here in Florida. about the macro on phone, yes, it is zoom. tap zoom 2 get really close until it blurs, back slowly off until it focuses, it takes patience, steady hands of which I have neither. lots of practice. that I can handle

ReplyDeleteTigger... if you had said nothing, that might have been mistaken for a sky full of stars!!! I think it is a lovely image. I lament about my kitchen window, for it doesn't benefit from the wind and water blasting that the front windows do. But also, no one is looking at or through it but me, so I don't waste water on it - or risk a nasty fall from the ladder I need to get to it! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
Lots of people in Greek apartments have those windows that sort of spin around vertically which works well for cleaning the outside. We just reply on a window cleaner! F has to do the inside. Both sides need doing. furrings and purrings Mr T
DeleteI think you should claim it's stars.
ReplyDeleteI thought they were galaxies from the James Webb telescope! Or at least that's what I'd claim...
ReplyDeleteWe must have lacked the imagination to see anything other than the dirt on the windows
