Early morning view towards the south west over the South Tyne valley. The moon is just on the horizon and the sky is a pale lilac colour. A typical early morning mist has formed in the valley (the fog on the Tyne) and its colour mirrors the sky giving the whole scene an other worldly quality.

OK, so not really a window, but here's the view towards Dunstanburgh Castle from Craster harbour. The "window" is the frame created by the concrete slab which was formerly the location of a winch for transporting stone from the nearby quarry. #FensterFreitag
A photograph looking north from Craster harbour in Northumberland. At the end of the harbour wall there is a large concrete plinth which creates a rectangular frame through which the ruined castle at Dunstanburgh  may be seen. In front of the castle the sea is visible and behind the sky is cloudless and blue.
