A room with a rather crazed view...

I haven't taken any pictures for a while, and then something cropped up where I HAD to take the camera to work and capture something: a third-floor double-glazed window was broken last week, the outside pane had crazed completely. This was taken some distance away from the window, looking out towards a sunlit tree showing its autumn colours near the building.




The overall effect seems to depend on the viewing distance. If you are close you see the glass patterns. Further away, or with half-closed eyes it assumes a sort of 'Monet' style which I find quite pleasing.

I like it.

That's beautiful! i WONDER IF THEY CAN LAMINATE IT LIKE THAT (OOPS CAPS LOCK!) and leave it in place. I suspect the health & safety brigade will see to it that no such enjoyment can be had and it'll be replaced forthwith!

No chance - today the whole area was festooned with black and yellow stripey tape and a big notice stuck to the glass 'DO NOT TOUCH THIS WINDOW !'. The inside pane is completely intact...

oh well
Well done for getting in there and capturing it.
You realise it qualifies for this week's competition don't you?

Hmmm... I didn't actually - I sort of lost track of the competitions when the forum format changed. If I can puzzle out how the new gallery thing works I'll put it up...

DONE

You are joking of course, health & safety...PAH!
My wife has a card for a local trade warehouse, the rear of their customer service lift was one huge mirror from halfway up, it had been broken at some time in the distant past and was taped up with brown parcel tape, it was like that for over three years till it was eventally removed

Anyway.....I like this image too, I think karma has positioned the impact point just right.
But honestly, vandalism, what lengths some folk will go to for an image
