I will be up north on Friday so will have to prepare this in advance, with only having given the topic thought for half the morning this morning. And that was here on the farm, not the best place for glass.
I told myself I'd just resort to my archives and went to take photos of the maize crop being harvested. But wait, tractors have windows. I'm stretching it a bit to say glass windows, they must be some sort of tough perspex. And they tend to be very dirty windows, too.
I decided the trick was to get up close but stay out of the way because the last thing that young driver needed to worry about was me.
Same thing with my son who was rolling the maize as it was tipped on the stack. But I've been around long enough to know what's good for me, I stay clear.
So I'll just publish one shot from my archives. Although modern museums do their best to give children a hands-on experience, having things behind glass at museums just has to be done sometimes. No parent would want their child's fingers anywhere near the huge crayfish that was on the other side of this glass. Don't you love how fascinated the children are?
I won't be back to visit everyone until the weekend. I will then vist here to see what others have found "through glass".
