Enlarge this one and examine the straight lines of the pole and curb on the other side of the street The distortion is not the camera or PhotoShop, it is the window itself. The hair salon that Marianne patronizes moved to an old house a few months ago and while waiting for her Tuesday, I notice the ripples in the glass of the windows and the interesting effect they caused. So I got my camera from the car and took this shot to share with you this week.
I joined the Header Challenge team in November. We post a new header each week on a suggested theme. Imac is the founder and head of the team. The members vote for best header and the winner gets the gold. The links above will take you to the other participants.

Very neat! I would guess that the window is made of very old glass??
Whatever the reason, you got a great window views shot!!
Very cool. I like these old buildings and windows...
Very observant of you! You really captured the qualities of that special glass.

Interesting effect. Great choice for this meme.
Amazing how the window makes everything wavy. The glass must have been made a while ago in hand.
Have a great Thursday! :o)
That is interesting. See the view from this window
Yes, that is interesting....wavy old glass....I've read about it and now I've seen it.
Yes, indeed. The old glass in old buildings can provide the most interesting effects. So glad you spotted it and then took a picture to share here.
You have a great eye, Lew! And of course I love a shot from inside looking out! :)
I'd get very dizzy looking out that windows too long but it sure makes for a great photo
That is a very nice photograph, especially enlarged.
Very cool! I find it amazing that glass slowly flows overtime. I always heard it was really a liquid.
That's a cool effect. It's a great window view too!
