When I was researching the topic for this week’s Friendly Friday Photo Challenge, I realized that all my relevant photos were located in Europe. Except for one! I hope that you can show me some more balconies, or patios, or verandahs from all over the world.
The oldest balconies I spotted were in Germany – in Berlin and Frankfurt and in Italy.
Pergammon Offenbach Schloss
Juliet’s balcony was a popular tourist attraction in Verona.


I noticed the fashionable balconies, in Italy, have window boxes that are more often filled with greenery or Geraniums.


And I couldn’t possibly exclude balconies found in Scandinavia from this montage, seeing as that region is my first love.
Sweden has a very famous indoor balcony.
Do you know what special purpose it serves?
I haven’t seen Norwegians use a balcony but they like them Ceremonial Balcony – Stockholm
Norway has some spectacular balconies in Dragon Style

I’m finally done with my balconies and trying out the new WordPress gallery system. If I wish to have captions, and I do, there is no horizontal gallery any more. Still, I like it like this.
And I like your balcony theme since, as I said, I have never done a balcony compilation. As for yours, I like them all but the Crucial Balcony has the future. 🙂

I am glad to be the first with the Balcony theme. You never know – do you think it is possible that one day we might share a drink on that crucial balcony together?

No such thing as ‘never’, Bushboy. No deadlines here. Funny that you have chosen Spanish balconies. There seems to be a bit of a Spanish thread for this prompt. They are certainly something to see.

I didn’t notice the Spanish ones when I looked at all the others posts. I just picked a date and hoped for balconies. Struck it right with Madrid 🙂 🙂
