I didn't realise it was so hard to get a good shot of something in a window or reflected in a window so my effort is rather lame sorry  :-[

Tried to get time to recreate this shot or similar, but with the weather so good spent the weekend in the New Forest and at work all week, so no time really.

Good luck to the rest of you that have managed to submit an entry. Hopefully get more time this week with a four day weekend coming up.

Thats a shame guy, would have been good, but its often hard to recreate a shot like that  :D

The 2 that stood out for me were Oldboys and Triangles, they shouted loudest with the theme to me and Oldboy got my vote cos it caught my eye and really shouted Window Shopping :)

I liked Irv's shot a lot though and the expression on the guys face in the shop in Dave's cracked me up  :beer:

Hopefully it will be a bit busier next week, I can see lots of steam trains coming, not from me though, nothing like that over ere... I shall be hunting down a horse and cart as we still see them being used, sods law I wont see one all week though lol..

Thanks to oRGie and Guy1972 for the votes.  ;D
As the subject said Window Shopping, I expected more shots of windows with articles for sale? How else can it be window shopping?  :(
