| The Stalker & The Prey - 020 by Ground State Photos, on Flickr Oh crap, wait a sec, did I misread something? Scrap that, I'll move on to the next real request. Posted by cedzurbex A cool window
| I found this inside the attic on an abandoned house and, being naive, learned that it was called a Widow's Watch. My highly academic source, Wikipedia, taught me that "A widow's walk also known as a "widow's watch" (or roofwalk) is a railed rooftop platform often with a small enclosed cupola frequently found on 19th-century North American coastal houses. The name is said to come from the wives of mariners, who would watch for their spouses' return, often in vain as the ocean took the lives of the mariners, leaving the women widows.[1] In other coastal communities, the platforms were called Captain's Walk, as they topped the homes of the more successful captains; supposedly, ship owners and captains would use them to search the horizon for ships due in port." Speed (interpret how you will)
