Windows from Piran

• Manja Maksimovič

All morning I was thinking to post some Slovenian windows for Flavia, only to learn that she might need them more than I’d thought.

I love Flavia’s passion for windows. It is the perfect companion of mine for doors. She posts them regularly on her blog. Here are some that she spotted in Pitigliano the last time I saw her before going to Slovenia.

We were supposed to get together tomorrow for a giro of a new town and lunch at a lovely farm restaurant but it was not to be due to food poisoning.

To help her get well, here are windows that I photographed with her in mind my first week in Slovenia back in June, in the wonderful coastal town Piran where, topping all expectations and hopes, a pink house has grown that we call ours.

This is part one, the second part will follow when the time is right.

Still, happy Ferragosto, Flavia, or as Croatians call this holiday, Grand Lady. I hope you get to see these windows for yourself one day.

  • Maestro Tartini presiding over his square. Is that the Venetian lion?
  • This Venetian house on the right used to be red. They restored it to the original white and many disagree.
  • Not this kind of red, more like Chianti red.
  • The right window from the previous photo in close-up.
  • This window mesmerises me every time. It has its own climate.
  • Things hang. Light wins.
  • Piran is old and has seen things.
  • Sometimes windows are just an excuse to look up.
  • How to draw attention to your window?
  • Pink and yellow.
  • The location is lovely too.
  • Quite a bit of competition going on.
  • Possibly the window queen.
  • O will lavender be the winning factor?
  • But they are all winners. They won my camera’s eye.
  • Like a painting.
  • Even just the light is enough.
  • So many windows, so much time.
  • But only these are in our pink jungle.

  3. Hi MMM,

    Yes, that looks like a Venetian lion. Nice. I was wondering where were the windows into one’s mind or soul? Someone asked me that today. Thanks. Duke

  6. Windows vs Doors – I don’t know which portal I like better for getting glimpses into the lives of others, present and past. Maybe I’ll vote for a 3rd party and say, the walls surrounding also hold a lot of promise!

    1. Ahh, Flavia, I’m glad you felt my joy. It’s always present when I do things for you or with you. We will do them again! And yes, I had so much fun taking and collecting these that there will be another Piran window post one day. 😉 Hope you’re all well!
