  • On an art deco building in South Beach in Miami, two dome windows provide a simple, abstract view.
  • Nice abstract, high key image of four round windows and one floodlight on the exterior wall of an art deco building in South Beach, Miami. Each window has a different reflection.
  • Two round windows painted in deep blue anchor an exterior wall on a building in South Beach in Miami. The reflection in the window shows the palm trees near the beach.
  • An old door with gray paint that has weathered into a remarkable texture.
  • A detail view of an old, weather-beaten wood door with layers of peeling gray paint results in a distressed, weathered texture.
  • The exterior wall of an residential apartment tower is covered in an abstract pattern of rectangular shapes.
  • The facade of a building is criss-crossed with painted white steel beams. In the sunlight, the pattern of sunlight and shade forms an abstract pattern.
  • The exterior of a building is a rusty, red color. The black shadows in the windows form an abstract pattern.
  • A detail view of a portion of a wrought iron gate on the grounds of Prague Castle. The repetitive nature of the shadows against a painted wall make this a nice background.
  • Decorative detail from the inside of a meeting room at the International Peace Palace in The Hague with what appears to be a pattern with various robes draped around a ram's skull.
  • A detail from a staned glass window in the cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris. The decoration features a red and blue pattern surrounded by grape vines.
  • An old-style knocker in Paris on a door with weathered paint peeling. The fantastical image of the man holding the wrought iron ring in his mouth evinces the pain in the image.
  • Fleur-de-lis painted in gold in a repeating pattern on a grand entrance to a Paris building. This decorative element represents lilies (or water lotus) is often used a symbol of French royalty.
  • The inside castle gate to Edinburgh Castle at night shows a little bit of light reflecting off the metal studs in the door and shadows from the portcullis. In black and white.
  • The exterior wall of the Great Hall of Edinburgh Castle at night. The stained glass windows with the emblems of past kings of Scotland are glowing in the dark next to the symbol of royalty.
  • A building on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh's Old Town is illuminated with white and red lights at night.
  • A blue door with bronze doorknobs, mailslot, and keyhole. The scuffed and faded paint together with the slightly askew door panels has a grungy feel to it.
  • The inner door to Edinburgh Castle is made of wood with iron studs bolted through it to provide strength to the defenses. The wood pattern in the door looks like a christian cross.
  • A representation of St. Columba in a cloak and with a shepherd's crook in an old stained glass window in St. Margaret's Chapel in Edinburgh castle. He was one of the 12 apostles of Ireland and, in his journeys, visited Scotland in the 6th century.
  • A view of an office building through one clear window surrounded by colored glass panes.
