"Hang Christmas in your window
Show the world that you still care
Buy this, buy that, dress up, show off
Rejoice if you still dare
Hang golden glitter - silver snowflakes
Celebrating what?
Your faith? In Christ? Or peace on earth?
Or peace of mind? Why not?"

I know Christmas is already over in a lot of places, but not everywhere. And somewhere, it would be nice with that Christmas spirit all year round. So I close the book on this year's Yuletide with the little poem above.

Obviously cropped(I am sometimes terribly symmetric) and clarified and sharpened. What I also did was use a perspective correction tool to achieve right angles in all four windows.

A symmetrical approach can work very well, especially in shots like these, Per. Besides, symmetry is broken here by the Santas and by the long shades.
Excellent job with the perspective distortion filter too. This house is painted in a lovely warm colour, which is also emphasized by the tones of the sunlight. TFS.

Very sharp and couloured.
J'aime bien la lumière qui caresse cette très belle facade.
Bravo

Superbe....très belle texture...amusant...

Funny composition, your poem goes with it very well. The lighting and texture of the wall are very pleasing to look at and the windows are very symmetrical.

I love the walls of this building. I think the Santa's hanging from the windows are cute and a bit whimsical....I like your note with the photo. TFS....:O)
