Behind Bars

How many of you have bars on your windows?

in any case, the strong mediterranean sun makes it necessary to shade your house, and shutters seem to do the job; January 9, 2009 at 9:13 AM
Unknown said...: Although, this is not looks so bad, it remind me on some kind deficiency of freedom...but, like M kiwi said it is then open space for burgling....; January 9, 2009 at 2:01 PM
mouse (aka kimy) said...: only one time have I lived in a flat which had bars - the view from inside out, wasn't nearly as attractive as this one. the apartment was on the first floor in an urban neighborhood and that was the norm for that area. the bars probably were the reason I didn't stay in the apartment very long.; January 9, 2009 at 2:12 PM

Saretta said...: You all hit the nail on the head. They are there to keep out burglars. At first they really bothered me, but now I don't even see them any more. And burglary is a big problem here, so actually, I'm glad to have them. Sad, but true...

Knoxville Girl - you made me laugh! Actually, those trees are olives and they have all their leaves, thank you very much! :-))); January 9, 2009 at 4:06 PM
