10 images of windows of different eras and functions from Tbilisi, Georgia.
1
Windows of a withered wooden balcony, twisted with time and bad weather. It hangs over the street like a heavy wooden belly that threatens to flop onto the pavement any moment:
A wooden balcony in Avlabari district, Tbilisi
2
Rike Concert Hall is probably the uggliest modern building in the city, however, it looks great as an abstract close-up:

3
Holiday Inn. Like if it was drawn in pencil, beautifully drawn:
Holiday Inn in Saburtalo district, Tbilisi
4
A window of a simple two-floor house, build in the XX century, but the light and shadow make the image lively, summerly:
An old residential house in Avlabar, Tbilisi
5
Another building of this kind but look at the bottom - this stonework can be twice or thrice older than the house itself. If I were the owner, I would search ancient artifacts in the underground and yard. There is a chance to find. Avlabari district has been existed for more than a thousand years, anything is possible:

6
Abandoned house for demolition. The door was open, nobody was near, I entered and went up flimsy wooden staircase; the feeling was that any part of the building could fall off at any moment, for example, on my head. I found no abandoned dolls 馃榾 or handwritten diaries in rotten notebooks and I quickly left the sad house:
A building that will disappear soon

Balconies, windows, wires of a human anthill. This street shines with sunlight every clear day before the sunset, I love this place:
Soviet multi-storey house on Meliton and Andria Balanchivadze Street in Saburtalo, Tbilisi
8
Pensive saint in the window opening inside a church. This could be the guy the church dedicated to, David, a winner of Goliath, wise king, known as author of Psalms as well:
Church of David the Psalmist in Avlabari, Tbilisi
9
Compound windows, typical for old Tbilisi, lit with the bright sunshine with the autumnal Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia) in the foreground:
Probably, the restored historical building (or imitation?), a view from Church of David the Psalmist

In summer, Virginia creeper creates a canvas of lush foliage. In autumn, it turns red. But it's even more beautiful when the leaves fall. The building looks like it's wearing a wool sweater:
Beside Metekhi Church on Metekhi Street, maps don't reveal what building it is
I took these images with a full-frame DSLR Nikon D750 in October-November 2022 in Tbilisi, Georgia
