Well, it’s Thursday, and time for another Lingering Look at Windows, as set by Dawn over at The Day After.
For this week, I thought I would get away from my usual theme of decay, and post some windows seen in trulli during my travels….. The trullo is a conical roofed building seen in Italy’s region of Puglia (and doubtless they are occasionally seen elsewhere). But windows in trulli appear to be tiny and difficult to find. I did spot some minute ones in a roof and a wall just below:
Where are the windows?
Tea towel sized window
Or they are shuttered…
shuttered windows
Unless you happen to be looking at a trullo church:
Trullo church in Alberobello
And I did find a larger example in a trullo in a field…
At last, a reasonable sized window…
Interesting, eh? Doubtless those with more trullo knowledge than me might elaborate on this theme…
Wow! Very interesting windows indeed!
Thanks Virginia! They are a bit different! 🙂
My posts on Trulli Houses are coming up soon.
But did you like these?? 🙂
Oh yes, they are photogenic but difficult to photograph don’t you think?
Yes, because of the narrow streets, and the angles….which is why I chose to focus on the small detail quite a lot of the time!
I’ve never seen a trullo church, Sue, so thanks for that. This is the perfect “no windows” post 🙂 I love it!
Well, thanks, Jo! What a vote of confidence! 🙂
Wonderful, I have wanted to see Trulli – your photos make me want to see more!!
Thanks Jude, it’s great if my images spur people on to explore for themselves! 🙂
These are really great 🙂
Thanks very much, glad you like them! 🙂
Interesting design – I’ve never seen these before. It must be dark inside -? Perhaps small windows let in less heat during hot summers -?
No idea, and not something I have found out so far!
I agree with Lynne it must be dark inside. Did you go inside any of them Sue?
Actually, yes I did and because of interior lighting it didn’t seem too dark…but with ought lights I think a Trullo would seem claustrophobic
Very cool and different. I just love that!
Many thanks! It was time for me to get away from the decayed windows for one week, might be more later! 🙂
