Can lightning strike through windows?
A lightning bolt would explode the glass window before it would travel through the glass. Storm lightning is so fast that even if it were to go thru a window the window would shatter from the heat and speed. Glass is not a conductor so, being struck by lightning thru the window would take the Glass to shatter which would take two strikes. Other following ways are the only ways lighting can strike into a home. -Lightning can enter the home thru any of the 3 following ways. (1) a direct strike (2) through wires or pipes that extend outside the structure (3) through the ground. Regardless of the method of entrance, once in a structure, the lightning can travel through the electrical, phone, plumbing, and radio/television reception systems. Lightning can also travel through any metal wires or bars in concrete walls or flooring. Avoid contact with concrete walls which may contain metal reinforcing bars. Avoid washers and dryers since they not only have contacts with the plumbing and electrical systems, but also contain an electrical path to the outside through the dryer vent.

Does lightning travel through open windows?
Its electricity right [if that's what ya mean ] it shouldnot pass through open windows. But if its the light accompanied by the heat also should pass I mean it leaves an Impact. Many incidents can be found where a person siting on an open window have died or got burnt cause of the lightning. If we study the incidents a bit closely we would see the lightning has always struck on a tree or a medium close by with the least amount of diameter.
You have granite lintels that are leaking rain water your builder says its because they are porous?
Granite is porous, but not permeable. In other words, granite does not let rain water pass through it. The leak is probably occurring in the mortared joint between the lintel and the brick or stone that is adjacent to it, leaking at the joint between the window frame and the lintel, or is getting behind the brick or stone facing at some point above the window through an opening, crack, or window above the lintel. It's even possible that water is penetrating somewhere on the roof, entering the wall, and then being blocked by the window. All of the above have been known to cause leaks at window openings.

What is called backslight in photography?
Backlighting is light coming from behind the subject. For example, a person inside a room standing in front of a window during the daytime. The strong daylight coming through the window is greater than the light falling on the person from the camera side. If the exposure is set for the amount of light coming through the window the person will be a silhouette. If the exposure is set for the person the window area will be greatly overexposed (called "blown out") and will likely bleed into the subject around the edges.
