Wood, metal and grass
Still over at the PSI. Here's one thing I found strange when I first moved here after many years in the US. The window shades are installed on the outside of the windows. Of course, one would expect shutters (all of them functional) to be on the outside, but not these. This example of what appears to be regular aluminum blinds is actually not a typical one, usually they're industrial grade and robust and are motor-actuated. Some of that kind are visible on the building in the background. They tuck away out of view when they're retracted. Yearly cleanings and maintenance keep them operating smoothly.

paradoxical buildings on the same picture and in green of grass. And another paradox about the shutters of wooden house. Intesresting !
It comes as a total surprise to me. I suppose it also serves as a kind of robber proof entry.
i don't think i have ever seen shades on the outside before....they must have a good reason for that coz it's so unique!!!
