I have a confession to make. I love walking down the street and looking in lighted windows at dusk. I get a touch of “homesickness” at dusk – a desire to be home with family around the supper table with good smells in the air. I also have always had a curiosity about how other people live their lives so maybe I hope to see glimpses of family life within windows. Windows give us a peek at what goes on behind closed door. Of course I have never seen anything interesting because I don’t set up my lawn chair and stare – just a quick glimpse as I go by.
This photo was taken at a business close to where we were trying to get some fall color shots on our weekly photo shoot. Not much of interest inside here either – but the sign in the window got my quirky imagination going.
Dawn also likes windows so she hosts the Thursday Lingering Look at Windows. You can see her windows this week and find a link to learn more by visiting:

This is so intriguing, but you’re right, the sign makes it. I also like the old style, gritty window. The papers and file cabinets remind me of days gone by.

Thanks, I wanted to know what the sign said but I think the yellowish light and what you said is what “pulled me in”.

Snoopy fan? Keen bird feeder? It’s a mystery, Pat, but I love a good “snoop” through lighted windows too. 🙂

I also am a total voyeur and when I ride my bike or walk at night I always slow down for a glimpse. Especially like to see the way some folks paint their walls with color. If I lived in a high rise I would definitely have a telescope : )

This is a brilliant time of year for seeing the interiors of people’s homes. Lights are turned on, but curtains left open as we hold on to the vanishing daylight.
