Some sage once said that the eyes are the windows of the soul. The eyes could reveal the range of one’s emotions, thoughts, personality, and state of mind and enable the seer to learn and appreciate his surroundings. Meanwhile another construction sage contends that the windows are the eyes of the home. Therefore like eyes, windows hold one of the highest potentials for discovering the type of persons living within. They likewise allow these people to see and learn about the things around them.
As with eyes, it must be possible to secure windows from overly-curious onlookers when necessary. For this reason, we may choose to install screens, shutters, or drapes. Aside from providing protection, these can greatly beautify and distinguish the building itself. Sometimes, the window can be the strongest selling point of a house. Its appearance can dictate the total look and ambience of the room, if not the whole house. Realizing this, many real estate developers spend a lot to design, fit, construct, and adorn the windows of their model units with the latest in glare-free glass, smoothest sliding panels, coolest blinds, and most elegant curtains. And true enough, this is money well-spent.
I have always been fascinated by windows. And it seems that through the years and all over the world, there are others who have been too. This is evident from the homey country shutters of France , to the romantic balcony windows of Venice , and to the stately glass windows of Vienna
Like my daughter who takes photos of every furry cat we see, I seem to have the same feeling about windows. I think windows are a unique opportunity to see and recognize the culture and traits of people. They are mute and candid testament to their personality and way of life.
