Daily Photo – Through a Window

I took this shot through a window a couple of years back at Legoland Windsor, in the UK.

I just booked the airtickets for my family's annual trip back to the old country and was spinning through some photos in Lightroom when this one caught my eye.

Technically it should be titled, ‘Of a Window' since it's the faux hand-made glass in the faux castle window that's in focus. You can tell its fake because the features of the glass run across the lead striping. In a real leaded light each diagonal panel is it's own pane of glass and the lead strips hold it all together. Here, the ‘lead' or whatever it really is, is simply stuck onto the panel, like an afterthought. Who needs craftsmanship when crap is cheap?

I shot this at f/4.0 – as wide as the lens I was using would go. This has thrown the scene outside the window out of focus giving the more abstract result.

What we're looking at is the waiting line for the Dragon roller-coaster. I was waiting in line with my son and daughter. It was going to be my daughter's first ride on this roller coaster. She's been too short the previous time we had visited. I'm about a five minute wait from the ride. The folk across the are about 20 minutes from their ride.

My daughter loved the ride and we had to do it several more times before she was ready to explore elsewhere.
