I realized that I have several shots of this window from one of the offices at the mental institute. It will show up again. In these buildings on the lower floors, nature was starting to overtake them, and I liked how that looked against the frosted windows.

Camera: Hasselblad 501CM with 80mm CF lens using Rollei Retro 400 B&W film, developed in Rodinal 1:50, scanned lith print on Forte warm-toned RC paper

Song of the day: 'Creature Fear' by Bon Iver

Poem of the day:
'BLAZING in gold and quenching in purple,
Leaping like leopards to the sky,
Then at the feet of the old horizon
Laying her spotted face, to die;

Stooping as low as the kitchen window,
Touching the roof and tinting the barn,
Kissing her bonnet to the meadow,—
And the juggler of day is gone!'
- Emily Dickinson, 'Blazing in gold and quenching in purple'
