Well tidy and well cultivated .... but nice? The windows of the typical houses in german villages show at first sight a beauty, which is given in a sense of the order, but my question is if really they are achieving this wish of beauty or are they more the opposite of it. These windows; sad and peculiarly homogeneous they are more vegetating his life of a sad reality then showing the pride of every good house owner. The flowers and curtains put like decoration looks like discouraged actors in a theater without auditorium. The exterior sight of these windows can give us an idea of the persons who live there.
