(Window Shading) Any device for reducing unwanted heat gain from a window.
A window blind is a type of window covering which is made with slats of fabric, wood, plastic or metal that adjust by rotating from an open position to a closed position by allowing slats to overlap. A roller blind does not have slats but comprises a single piece of material.

Window Shades
I needed to have an image on the SD card to update the firmware for my TZ5, so I just snapped off a quick shot of the closed shades over my living room window. I didn't edit this at all--no cropping, no sharpening, nothing. It's straight from the camera (although the TZ5 recorded that the image is vertical, so I re-rotated it back to horizontal using flickr). I don't know why, but I just like this shot.
