Window Sills

May 20, 2025 - For many years, I worked in the Doctors Building at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. It was an old, tired, industrial looking building along McCallie Ave. I was on the 3rd floor and usually entered on the back side of the building. But there was one intriguing thing that always caught my attention - its windows! For some reason, they decided to put cement sills under each window, which created a symmetrical pattern that cast long shadows in the bright afternoon sun. Though this image was taken on an overcast day, I took this looking up from the street and love how the window sills create not only a pattern, but have a weathered look about them. It’s creates a unique texture against the brick. Building stories one frame at a time!
