This is a place I love and the view I love when working.
Perfect setting for a #FensterFreirag

A laptop placed on a woven table next to a window overlooking a beach scene. The laptop screen displays a dark interface with lines of text. Outside, the view reveals a clear blue sky, palm trees, and a sandy beach with sunbathers in the distance. The window has white frames and a partially pulled-down mesh screen.

The cure for cockiness: write AltText. Nothing reminds me quicker how little I know about anything. 'What are those weird indentation thingys? What do you call those fancy edges? What's that shape that’s like a rectangle but has an arch on top? Wait, is it oblong? Wait, what’s the difference between an oblong and a rectangle? Is the window in a belfry, is there a bell? Oh no, maybe it’s a door not a window and I'm just spreading fake news in the Fediverse.'

Looking up at a mass of lovely light summery blue cloudless sky that fills the frame. Off-centre, to the left, dominating the scene and the eye: the top of a rectangular old church tower. It is white stone, historically grubby and browning in patches. The triangular top is an eye-catching form – the edges rise in castellated edges – I don’t know what this is called technically, it reminds me of the spines on a dragon. Between them, startling against the blue sky and white stone, a slope of deep red roof tiles. In the centre of the white stone façade, some half-circular indentations – I won’t pretend I know what they are. In the very centre of them, a single window – a deep black opening right up at the top, where the belfry would be if there were a bell. You can’t see it from the photo, but this is the top of the Den Tilsandede Kirke – the Sand-Covered Church in Skagen on the tip of Denmark. It’s a 14th century Gothic church that slowly got covered by sand until it was abandoned in 1795, leaving just the top exposed ever since. All that history and weathering and architectural resilience and all the prayers and lives that have passed through it, now reduced by me to a social media post and I’m not even sorry, I’m just sharing in case anyone else likes the sight of it too.

An outlier for #FesterFreitag / #WindowFriday - my son driving a VERY REAL bus, a good decade ago.
Small boy driving a wooden bus in a playground, we're looking through the (nonexistent) windscreen at him holding the red wooden wheel with one hand and waving his other arm around.
