When a window frames a view just so…
From Get Inspired subscriber Nance Cohen:
“I was waiting my turn to visit the upstairs of a Julia Morgan-designed building in the Grand Canyon, and noticed that light was pouring in through the windows. I gazed out and saw this stunning landscape.”
Have a window-framed scene “hanging” on your wall? Did you snap one somewhere else? Send us the photo! Include your name, camera used, location, and anything else you’d like to share at stories@getty.edu.
