The round window reminds me of a television show on the ABC here in Australia where children were invited to look through different shaped windows (e.g. which window will we look through today?

The arches are lovely, & the round window is rather interesting. But then we are intrinsically 'programmed' to find arches and domes and round things pleasing to the eye.
