A person can see some really interesting things when looking through windows. I try not to peep through house windows as I walk past, but sometimes the temptation is just too much. π I guess it would be very cheeky to take pics of the inside of someone’s private dwelling, so I haven’t any of those.
Of course, at the aquarium there are lots of windows to protect the viewers from the occupants of those glass cases. Little Sienna can smile, knowing she’s quite safe from the huge shark only metres behind her.
Spectators can happily take photos of the Manta rays, and a host of other fishies. Whatever did man do before the invention of glass? It’s such a useful material. Did you realise that it’s been around since 3,500 BC?
I bet Sienna never thought she’d be able to drive a London bus when she visited South Africa.
Here’s a view from the car window, which is not at all surprising when visiting the Lion Park.
Finally, when taking a pic of the signs for sale at our local hardware store, I got lots of reflections through the window.

That’s one huge shark π

The inventions of glass opens a lot of doors for people,but we forgot it.
Yes it certainly did, Marylou. Thanks for looking. π
South Africa is a beautiful place. I visited Cape Town about a decade ago and had lots of fun! The shark looks scary and I’m glad we don’t have them around here.
Thanks, CG. Yes it is a beautiful country, and yes, we do have sharks here in the ocean. Luckily, we also have shark nets which are regularly checked and maintained. π
The lion park still looks the same as when I visited it last in 1970 ties , only the lions are different! Ha ha. Love your creativity with the windows
Thanks so much, scrapydo. I agree, that the Lion park hasn’t changed at all, except for the price to get in. π
Ha, I forgot about the entrance fee! π
Looks like a good time was had by all
Yes it was, Jo. π
wonderful window shots…Sienna looks as though she is enjoying herself!
Thanks, Heather. Sienna had a wonder time when she visited from New York, with her dad.
Great interpretation and shots indeed Sylvia and yes, I agree. It’s a bit too private to go peeping into other people’s home and take shots of their windows. LOL! Sienna is such a cutie! π
Thanks, Sonel. Yes she is. π xx
As I scrolled down my reader I thought oh there’s Sienna – how amazing to recognise your granddaughter and know it’s your post!
Thanks, Gilly. She is like my son………unforgettable. π
Fun, fun, fun! Always amazing to see sea creatures but even more amazing is to be up close with the lions. A great adventure! Wishing you a wonderful weekend. All the best to you and your family.
Thanks so much, IT. Yes,, seeing the lions so close was really exciting. Happy weekend to you and your family too. π
This was a great challenge and the responses, like yours here, were varied and creative. Using the aquarium as a window was very clever.
Thanks so much, John. π
Interesting through windows theme. I like Sienna through those windows (or window behind her). By the way taking a picture of someone house through the house window can be against the law – that is in US at least.
Thanks, YC. Yes, I imagine it would be against the law in the US. They’re even fussy about taking photos in stores, which I sometimes want to do for a challenge. π¦
Great idea staying in the car in the lion park, Sylvia! π
Well, that decision was a no-brainer, Dianne. π
Very interesting collection of photographs……another great idea for my new ‘learning to use my camera” project.
Thanks, GOF. Looking forward to your pics. π
I like your thinking about glass and what would we do without it. I am going to photograph a wedding at the out zoo and aquarium next month. I enjoy the photos and the reflections.
That’s a very interesting venue for a wedding. π I look forward to some pics, Ruth.
Glass is amazing stuff. I think the expression might be a bit different if it wasn’t there.
Yes it is, Col, and yes, the expression would be very different. π―
why don’t the lions jump over that gate??????
Because they know that the meat truck carrying their dinner, drives around on this side of the fence. π
What a lovely girl, Ad. π
Thanks, Jo. She’s such a sweetie-pie. π
great gallery of windows, Sylvia! lovely pictures of Sienna! she is pretty! π
Thanks, so much, Lola. Sienna is a darling. π
A London Bus in SA. Now that is novel, Sylvia. The windows and the paintwork look much cleaner than on our British buses. I guess the one in your picture is a rare specimen worthy of extra care and attention — that is, assuming it’s a genuine import and not a SA copy amongst many!
Hahaha. An extremely rare specimen, Sarah. π
Hey i have nominated you for liebster award. Chevk out my blog http://www.dwindowseat.wordpress.com
Thank you for the award. π
Looking through windows is fun, very tempting isn’t it!! Lovely pic of Sienna with the shark behind her π
Thanks so much, Sherri. Yes, I guess we’re all a teensy bit nosy. π
π
I can’t help looking in windows too, Sylvia but agree with you about not taking photos peeking into private houses. π
Thanks, Lisa. π
Amazing photos through the windows Sylvia, and beautiful smile too π
Thanks so much, Della Anna. π
Beautiful photos of the aquarium. Which one did you visit?
Thanks, Colline. It was uShaka Marine World in Durban.
A very happy girl. So cute!
Thanks Sue. π
Looks like everyone had a great time! π
Yes, the aquarium was a big hit. π
One of my favorite places too anywhere I go π
I haven’t been to an aquarium in years and your photos of Sienna enjoying it are fun to see.
Thanks, Lynne. I really enjoy aquariums, although they are a bit weird in way, and I wonder how the fish enjoy us all gawping at them. Maybe they think it’s we who are in captivity. π
