Alright, alright...I know it is rectangular, not square...
From one of our recent trips to the west coast of Norway. A delightful little coastal town called Skudeneshavn.
The Old Town is white-painted houses, terracotta-coloured roofs, you can't choose, it is a regulated area....more to follow another day.
A window I saw which reminded me of Playschool the more senior ones of you may remember this.
Many thanks for recent comments. I'd better go and do some commenting as I have neglected epz recently. Haven't been in the mood for it.

How extraordinary. I'm trying to imagine the view from the other side...
Moira
As a dreadful old square myself I deem this about as square as it could be. I was an especial fan of Floella Benjamin rather than mathematical accuracy 
I like this very much. All the panes are different, even the whitewashed ones.

................and we all used to sit there and try and guess if it would be the arched window or not 
So are the roses growing indoors?
Is there a picture stuck in the window?
Wonderful texture Malc - and yes I do remember Play school

The roses were inside the window and were real, not imitation. In a vase not visible from this angle.
You remember Playschool? Don't you mean your Gran told you about it young lady?
Quote: Wonderful study of detail and textures in this neglected window frame with the one pane of roses making such a contrast with the other obscured ones.
Ronnie.
The only question, did you put the flowers there or were they really there?

Joyce..you can just make out the vase through the bottom right window.

Painting the houses white is one thing, but the window panes as well!!
Cracking spot, little ted
Dave
Each pane of glass looks square anyway! 
Great textures in that peeling paint, and the red roses really make this work

Malc "when I was young" we didn't have TV - so when my children were born I needed a lot of catch up time with them
That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it
do I have to admit to been a senior now that I remember play school
absolutely love it
Well I will comment on the image first.................................... Wonderful Love the colour, comp, subject, the roses, the vase and light and the tiny bit of sunshine on the right! You could have my award but I havent got one to give today
Now as for remembering "Playschool"................................... Ahem.........yes I do, but do you have to say "Senior"
I loved Big ted, Little ted, Jemima, humpty but couldnt stick that "Hamble" one
Please dont mention Bill and Ben in mono
Diane
I'm glad you did not miss this window of opportunity Malc, well seen and recorded
