Wednesday Window – pt. 5.5

In this week’s installment from Grafton, Utah, the focus is on the vivid texture of a weather-beaten house, emphasizing its unique personality shaped by time and elements.

As we continue the series of window images, we stay in the wonderful town of Grafton, Utah. Following last week’s Window into the Future, this week’s image is very much about texture.

I think you can appreciate the amount of texture that shows here…

Texture and Structure

This little house caught my attention with the vivid texture of its wood. Clearly, weather has had its effect over the years and created strong personality in the exterior of the house. It reminded me of seeing the wizened faces of folks who have braved the elements during their lives; those faces and people have stories to tell that we should listen to.

Window into the Future?

We return to Grafton, Utah, for some more window exploration. We connect the past to the present and future, with hope for humanity.

First of all, let me wish all of you a happy and healthy New Year!

As today is also a Wednesday, I thought it would be appropriate to return to our Wednesday Window theme (previous post: Wednesday Window – pt.4). So I took a look through my collection of window-themed images to find one that might fit well…

Looking to the Future

This is one from the series of images captured in the abandoned town of Grafton, Utah, which I described in this Wednesday Window post. As I explored the buildings in the settlement, I couldn’t help but be struck by the sense of what it was like to live here during the 19th century. Imagine constructing your own cabin without modern power tools. I could sense the privation of harsh winters and little protection from the elements.

For today, I also connect with a sense of looking toward the future in this new year. A look into the future from the 19th century to our present day lives. And, of course, our future in 2025 and beyond.

The outlook may not be clear at this time, but I have hope for humanity as we all pull together.
