Colonial style window, Trinidad Cuba
The beauty of the large, almost floor to ceiling length windows of the Spanish colonial era is the access they provide to the outside world. These large windows have inner wooden shutters rather than glass which are kept open during the day to provide light and ventilation. For security, the windows have wrought iron coverings that create a cage-like effect. The beauty of these windows is that you can be indoors and outdoors at the same time. Dogs are especially fond of them.
