Photos of famous sights seen through private windows.
Here we meet familiar major sights around the world, but from an unusual angle. All monuments are viewed through privat home windows. Suddenly the viewpoint becomes more interesting than the view. Can we assume that all having a view like this are wealthy? Have they chosen their home because of this view? Have they gotten used to, or even in time started to ignore such a view?
Maybe the view of your own home might be considered spectacular by somebody else? Look out of your own window and enjoy the view, maybe in some way it is as great as any other view?
