Windows on the World - X is for eXiting Xian

This month I am participating in the A-Z Blogging Challenge where I will endeavour to post on this blog each day. I will be sharing photos of Windows that I have photographed on my travels and highlighting from A-Z the places where I found these Windows on the World.

Xian in China was an unremarkable city of 7 million people but we had visited there because it is the gateway city to the Terracotta Army. My mind wasn't on windows on Xian but on our visit to the warriors.

Blue skies for our flight out of Xian.

 One could be forgiven for thinking we were in Egypt

Windows on the World - L is for Locomoting around Lhasa

This month I am participating in the A-Z Blogging Challenge where I will endeavour to post on this blog each day. I will be sharing photos of Windows that I have photographed on my travels and highlighting from A-Z the places where I found these Windows on the World.

When we travelled to Lhasa in Tibet in 2005 I was not intentionally taking photos of windows but when I went through my albums I found a few pictures featuring windows. Unfortunately some of the photos are out of focus because the camera I had in 2005 did not produce particularly sharp images

From our bus window we spied many windows in Potala Palace

Windows on the World - B is for Bows in Bangkok

This month I am participating in the A-Z Blogging Challenge where I will endeavour to post on this blog each day. I will be sharing photos of Windows that I have taken on my travels and highlighting from A-Z the places where I found these Windows on the World.

When we arrived in Bangkok, Thailand just after Christmas in 2005 we found some mall windows that were decorated as Christmas gifts.
