Every time you have time (especially if the window is new to you):
Stop and look through it. Really look through it and at everything you can see. Work from top to bottom and side to side, finding things, seeing things, noting things and build up the entire picture.
Take time and take it all in.
Is there a story to be told, a film scene playing out; or is it a still (or a gif) landscape?
Try looking from different angles; try taking a few steps back or forwards, and look from further away or nearer: how does the view, how does the story, change?
Try from the other side, if possible, if safe, and look in, instead of out (or vice versa), and repeat the process the other way round. Don’t try looking into other peoples’ homes or offices, though, please.
If you cannot see through, if it’s only reflecting you, then treat it as a self-portrait.
Or, if what you need is blankness, then just stand and stare, take in nothing of the scene and think. This way lies true infinity.
