Marion from Nanaimo, BC, CanadaHow quaint and beautiful. Love the wooden window frame agains the grey building. It looks to be double paned. So funny my husband and I were looking at windows and doors tonight at Home Depot and I was telling him that I loved doors and windows. There are so many different kinds. This one is beautiful. 2 Aug 2008 5:38am @Marion: I'm really fond of doors and windows too, especially the old type. Thanks so much, Marion.

Kylie Greenan from Richmond, AustraliaSuch an interesting image Michael, I love that they have art on their homes, makes me want to get the brushes out to the front of the cottage! Do most of the homes there have double windows like that? I haven't seen anything like that before. Lovely colour! 2 Aug 2008 10:22am @Kylie Greenan: Yes, most have double windows, This is very typical. Thanks, Kylie. Tracey from White Hall, United StatesI love it, Michael!
