Look out your window, what can you see?

[Ali]

Farlander's post about international differences got me thinking... What kind of deeply dull or wonderful things are on AGSer's doorsteps across the globe?

If I lean out of my bedroom window I can see York Minster, the largest gothic cathedral in Northern Europe. I can also see a raiway station, a reminder of York's importance in years gone by.

I'd like to know what you can see from your window (bedroom or otherwise).

and here's from my other window, just because I feel like it!

[Mr Jake]

a dug up front garden

I can see the Forth Bridge, our back garden, a building site next door, lots of rooftops, some boats out one side and the Forth Road Bridge, our garage driveway, the Co-op and a clock tower out the other. I might even get round to editing this with a picture.

From my upstairs bedroom window, I can see the following...

Directly underneath me and to the near left: my backgarden, which includes a koi pond, water fountain, whole bunch of flowers, statues and ornaments, cherry blossom trees, and a tool shed

To the far right:Ã,  the archery range, which is basically a few acres or so of clear land and shooting targets

To the far left: my half-pipe, which my dad bought me for my birthday, and a paved area of land

To the near right: the pool area, containing a pool (obviously), a hot tub, some lawn chairs and end tables, and a barbeque.

Inbetween everything: Trees, shrubs, and flowers

Right now, in New York:

A brick restaurant and apartment building, a market, a taxi, and Washington Square.


What I would see at my house back in California:

A huge palm tree, not a cloud in the sky, a large bush, a couple rats, a car, smashed beer cans (neighbors), and a lush green garden with an electronic fountain!

A wall. Just barely. It is really dark. And a mosque dome peaking over the wall.

The building that domains the view in front of my home is the city hall (I am an objective for the terrorists  )... There is a complete report of the construction, now finished, above.





This... must have been taken from my building.

Here, Lorena and my home, sweet home... Taken from the City hall...

Here's a pic of what I could see from my living room window, in the spring:



That blue thing is river. I know it looks crappy, no greenery or anything yet.

Um... darkness. I better wait until its daytime... :'(

This is a pic I took out of my office window when I was working late.  It's Times Square in New York City.

While I don't relish the idea of living here in Florida ...




... it could be worse I suppose.

[Nine Toes]

Out my window:
- numerous derelict automobiles.
- a garage built out of cinder blocks.
- too many farm cats to count.
- a black top road with no centerline or sidelines.
- a large empy field beyond that.
- the occasional car that speeds past.
- my greasemonkey neighbor gettin' it on with one of his sheep.

Dear lord. You guys live in beautiful places.

Looking out the front window of my apartment i see a messy commercial street with a house for sale across the street and a closed bar that is now for lease.Ã,  If i look out of the window in the hallway of my apartment, i see a run down old steel factory that closed many years ago and is in the process of being torn down and currently is a real eye sore.Ã,  I always tell people where i live is a big dump (because of the 1/2 torn down steel plant), and i know the property value of the building i live in can't be that high.

At one time, the street i lived on i think held a record for the most bars in this area. There are still alot of bars, but not as many as there used to be.Ã,  Also, the street i live on is home to a few biker bars, one even burned down a couple of months ago.

If it weren't midnight I could see some houses, framed by woods and mountains. But since it is midnight, I see very little. I'll take some pictures tomorrow.
