When a window frames a view just so…
From Get Inspired subscriber and Getty Villa conservator Marie Svoboda:
“I took this image of a window in Castillo de Almodóvar del Río, in the town of Almodóvar del Río, Province of Córdoba, Spain. It is a castle of Arab Muslim origin.”
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.
