Thank you to the blog East of Málaga for this monthly Photo Challenge – just click the logo above for more information about how this challenge works. You can also click this link to read their post for this month’s challenge: CBBH Photo Challenge
I will also be using this challenge as a way of enjoying some of my favourite photographs of the Algarve ~ and this month I have been spoilt for choice with a great theme:
Windows
This challenge also gives me the chance to try out the new WordPress Gallery format too. So this month I have simply chosen my favourite 12 pictures – and numbered them for you – so please let me know which one is your favourite in the comments below. If you hover over each image you can see the number I have given it and clicking an image will start a full-sized carousel for you – hope you enjoy them!
*just a hint – if you are in the carousel and you want to get out – just click anywhere in the empty black space and you will come back to this page!
If you have enjoyed these pictures then you might also enjoy a similar post entitled D is for Doors or an older post entitled Tiles, ice tea and toilet rolls

Expat Mom in Portugal - real life!
And don’t forget to add a comment below and let me know which Windows photo is your favourite…
How could I possibly choose? They are all beautiful. What a fabulous collection. Some look like you have done some digital artwork on them to make them even more beautiful. And please share what type of gallery format you used. I don’t remember seeing this one.
Hi – most of them are pretty much ‘as you see it’ – number 12 has had some infra-red treatment to make it different
it’s the new WordPress galleries layout – click here to find out more http://en.support.wordpress.com/images/gallery/ Took a while to get my head round it but worthwhile!
Love the Gallery format, Alyson – it really sets off your collection of windows
My favourite? I´m hard pressed to choose, but I keep returning to the first photo – it´s almost like a beautiful painting.
Thanks for being a regular contributor to the CBBH Monthly Photo
Challenge and for your continuing support. Much appreciated.
you’re welcome! number 1 proved to be very popular at our recent exhibition too!
I’m loving the challenge – I can just about manage the ‘month’ – although it still comes round quick!
Yes, it´s quite surprising how quickly even a month comes around.
I´m pleased to have been able to have returned the review of the recent blog review on the new Expat site – hope you win GOLD in Portugal!
gee thanks very much! you are very kind! I do love the ‘blogging community’ I have ‘met’ so many lovely people
I love windows and these photos are fantastic, as ever. I think my favourites are number one and seven. The gallery thing is great, isn’t it?
yes it’s much better! I’m liking it already – just trying to get ‘behind’ some of the coding to change the sizing etc
1, 3, 4, and 6 are my favorites. Mostly because they’re old and show something else about the character of the owners.
thanks! they do go well together too don’t they?! we have so many ruined ‘rustica’ properties around here!
They are very cool!
thank you so much!
Love your gallery of windows. I like no. 11 because I am retired from a company who make glass for all types of buildings, airplanes and automobiles. Thanks for sharing.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
thank you – I love how everyone seems to have a different favourite – it’s great finding out why you all choose different images – thanks for commenting
Beautiful collection, Alyson. That lady at the window in #9 looks just like the one I saw in Lisbon.

yes I have a theory that every little village has their own ‘watchkeeper’ ! we also have the obligatory bench in each village for the men – and then the women – to take it in turns to sit and chat together!
Number 5 – I’m a sucker for a cute face
he is so cute!
Number One! I love the colors and the simple rustic window!
They are all great, but that IS my favorite.
thank you – I think it’s one of my favourites too!
What a great collection! I particularly liked the gritty, decayed by age and neglect windows – displaying so much character
yes they are fab aren’t they? so much history hidden under all those layers of paint!
I love that – i’ve got to get into using it more, it’s a failing i have!
Window no. 6
A really lovely post 
My entry for this theme will appear by the end of the week 
thanks for visiting and choosing! looking forward to seeing your entry too – it’s a lovely gentle challenge to enjoy isn’t it?!
It is fun
fabulous selection – but number 5 is too cute not to pick
I think I shall have to post more pictures like that one! thanks for visiting and commenting

My favorite is number 6 because I like seeing laundry hanging from the window! But they’re all wonderful
thanks Meg – glad you liked them!
