Juliet's window and you are Romeo waiting for her to appear?

Posted by Eric at July 6, 2007 04:44 AM

The beginning of Wuthering Heights; there should be a tapping on the window and a voice calling, 'Let me in, let me in!' Not to mention an ice-cold hand...

reminds me of the story by harry cole, the british bobby who writes humorous stories

once, a policeman on patrol in a rural town saw a giant of a guy walking back home in the morning pulling his bike - the guy worked at a far-away bakery and had unexpectadly run out of fuel - he was standing at the back of this man's house and suddenly he saw a small and portly man climbing out of the window, hurriedly being pushed out, presumably by the lady of the house - he had no shirt on, was in his undies and started scrambling on the ground trying to put on his clothes which had been thrown down to him

the policeman watched him and decided not to intervene in the seemingly purely domestic matter - after a while the philandering intruder started going berserk looking up and down and all over the garden - the policeman went, what are you looking for? and the man went, i can't find my other sock - and the policeman said, that should be the least of your worries, i just saw the man of the house coming back and you better leave without the sock - you still have all your clothes back - the guy looks up at him with shock on his face and goes, but, gov'ner, you don't have any dignity with just one sock....

It's scary. Curtains out of a window are always scary ... we can't see the bottom of the wall, maybe there's a corpse ? brrr ...

There once was a fair maiden lamenting about the tree that once was. Empassioned, she leaned out of the window extending a frail delicate arm out towards the trees ghost. Fair hair streaming in the breeze... Without expalnation she falls out of the window into the window well, where she lay waiting - cut, bruised and embarrassed - for the neighbors to stop laughing and get her the f**k out.

How about this: Julia left the window open for Romeo to climb in. However they were so occupied with their love that they forgot to close the damn window.

I remember when they cut that tree down...

Here is my take on this images story....
It represents life and death. The dandelions are in full bloom and experiencing life to the fullest in the sun. Yet, it couldn't happen without the death of this poor tree. The open window is letting in more light now that the tree is gone, but the air is not so fresh without the oxygen the tree produced. Too deep for a Friday?! ha ha.

Maybe someone climbed out the window and down the tree too many times so they chopped off the tree? :D

Nice shot. Interesting with the foreground too.

Posted by Alice at July 6, 2007 10:01 AM

she is gone::

her lover finally returned for her.

that was a terrible night, the night her father cut down the tree, her only hope of escape.

before she left, she whispered a secret to the dandelions. she asked the dandelions to comfort the stump.

they tell him that the lover fashioned his wood into a ladder.

Here is my version:

Young man loves girl... young man clims tree at night to be with girl.
Father of the girl finds out. Father of the girl cuts down tree.
Young man depressed for the rest of his life.

:D

the story? I was visiting my girlfriend's friend at Vic College in her residence room (that's in your picture).

Things got 'interesting'...when my girlfriend came over to visit her friend...i had to leave via the window before being caught!

now you know, the rest of the story....

Posted by uber at July 6, 2007 11:36 AM

The person that was in the window decided to make a quick escape to cut down the tree. :)

This is beautiful in so many ways.

I'm Stumped.....:)

my second comment, but I wanted to say thanks for offering your viewers the chance to interpret this photo, makes the site even more interactive. We have some excellent story tellers here. I think most of us do this for each of your photos. Like yesterday's bus scene, I first thought the bus looked like it was doing a "180" spinout.
Thanks for giving us a "story" every day.

the priest had farted so he opened the window for a fresh breeze of air.

Wooooooooooooooooow., thats just so amazing

Posted by Amer at July 7, 2007 12:49 AM

The tree broke into the building...

Posted by Alex at July 7, 2007 02:07 AM

Looks like if you step on the tree trunk, the house descends into the ground like an elevator until the inhabitant can walk out through the window.
It's really 30 storeys high...

Great pic - very detailed and atmospheric.

It reminds me of Jane Eyre (film) when the title character sees the cloth flapping from a window in a deserted part of the manor. Unbeknownst to her, it lead to the prison of the deranged and pyromaniac Bertha.

looks like this picture was taken at university of toronto.

some kid probably studied too hard and escaped out the window to go party or feed the munchies.

Posted by s at July 8, 2007 11:26 AM

I am suprised no one has yet noticed the tree trunk has formed the shape of a heart with a cross in the center.

I imagine, once a great romance took place within the halls of this building. The lovers so inclined did etch there names upon the tree, as a record for time eternal.

The lovers now gone, the tree having departed aswell, their tale is now told in the remains. As their spirits forever gaze down from the window.

(Wishing all the visitors of DDOI well. May your own passions be as enduring.)

The pic is almost 3 days "old" but I couldn't resist...

The photo makes me think of forgotten things. The one open window, the importance of replacing what we remove from our surroundings. The image has such a haunting beauty.

However, my cousins used to live at Vic and she was in the Opera program - so I look at this and I also hear a poignant, sad, melodramatic opera being practiced inside and floating out onto the breeze.

Lovely photo - you were so correct that it needed a story!

Gloria sat by the window, looking out at the oak. In it's branches were 2 robins, tending to their children. The parents fluttered back and forth with the food for each of the 3 hungry mouths.
Gloria watched them each day, and after about 2 weeks the baby robins had grown enough to test their wings, and finally fly away.
Then, the next day the borough workers arrived, and cut the tree down, because it was blocking the sewer lines with it's roots.
Every day after that, she couldn't help but think of the tree small robins, as she sat on the Loo and contemplated the universe.

Lovely image -I'm in the office downstairs but haven't seen Rapunzel, Romeo or Juliet as of late, nor any vats of dandelion wine. Thanks for this nice surprise, drop in next time you're on campus.

Posted by Sharon at July 9, 2007 07:16 PM

Rapunzel was waiting for her guy to save her, but two guys appeared: the Prince and the woodcutter from Little Red Riding Hood.

She eventually went with the woodcutter since he had his eye on the prize, and cut down a tree to get her down from her tower, while the other wise-ass told her to let down her hair for him to climb up.

Quotable quotes from this impromptu fairytale: Rapunzel: "You want to climb up my hair, then get me to cut it?! I'm the one that needs to get down! Get with the programme!"

Hereis my story:

The Tree is blocking the persons view so he cuts down the tree so he can see the city life...

Posted by ALI at July 11, 2007 06:16 AM

Obviously that was an elven tree. When it was cut down, most of the creatures leadership. She sacrificed herself so the others could live, which explains why the stump is heart shaped and there is an image of a cross in the centre to show her sacrifice. Obviously!

I'm glad that someone banned pesticides in Toronto. Who originally wrote the rule that lawns had to be green and green only.
