Looking out from a cross-shaped window on the wall of Castelgrande, the largest castle of the Three Castles of Bellinzona, an UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000. Built on a huge rock as its foundation, Castelgrande had been a natural stronghold protecting surrounding area since the late 1^st Century BC. Troops stationed in the castle might have used the window to keep watch. An arrow or two might even been shot through the window in fending off an intruding enemy. As a tourist, however, what I got is a view that is very different from the eyes of the troops.

What I want is a view. I want a window where I can see a tree, or even water.
