When a window frames a view just so, turning it into a work of art…
From Get Inspired subscriber Angela Jeter: “I took this from one of the Tate Modern’s internal staircase windows looking out toward the NEO Bankside apartment building (on Holland Street, London). I was excited I had randomly caught two hackney carriages (famous black taxicabs) in one of the ‘frames.’”
