Window voyeurism

I needed an inspiration and decided to pick randomly the first picture I find in my collection and look for further corresponding snap shots. I picked a window in which something happens. I went through my photos from 2009 till 2013 and found plenty of related themes. Here is a selection. Just pictures, no talking.
