Windows of Batanes Stone Houses
I seem to have some fondness for windows in Batanes, both Batan and Sabtang Islands. Their windows are so small in proportion to the width of the house, understandably because of the frequent typhoons visiting the area. The stone houses with very thick walls are purposely built in the first place to address such frequent calamities. Stones...because these are abundant in the area.
