What's the view from your window?

Question

Something unusual?

Don't be so rude, batbaby78! And don't answer my questions, please. Other people deserve their points, at least!

Answer 1

I live on a one way street named after St Andrew (the patron saint of golf).
The front of my home overlooks the golf course, lakes, trees, and green, green grass.
There are three windmills on the course now (in really wet weather the course can go under).
It is an unusual and quite spectacular sight from my home.
From the back of my home I look out over my garden.
I'm lucky to have a great view from both directions.

Answer 2

From one window I have a view of the Chugach mountain range and a forest. From another, I have a view of Pioneer Peak, a glacier, Cook inlet, and a highway. From still another, I have a view of a mountain we affectionately call "Sleeping Lady" and a business called the "Mattress Ranch" which is painted to look like a barn with cutouts of cows and pigs attached and a big fiberglass bull wearing overalls, cowboy hat and cowboy boots. Only in Alaska!

Answer 3

From the west window, rolling green fields as far as the eye can see. From the east, a meandering river and from the north facing window, the peaks of the Himalayas in the distance.

In reality, the view is that of other apartment blocks :(

Answer 4

Yes, very unusual... I live in a high-rise in Portland, Oregon, and I see Mount Saint Helen's and the Fremont Bridge from my apartment. Here is what the view looks like out my window near my computer:

Answer 5

It's just a fallow field right now, but during the summer it was a field of wheat. I saw a black rain cloud coming over the evergreen trees with the golden wheat in the field. The colors were beautiful. Black, very green and very gold.

By the way, Alaska is one of the prettiest places I've ever visited.

Answer 6

I live in the mountains of Western North Carolina. Out my front window the leaves on the trees are changing to beautiful colors of red, yellow and orange. Out my back window is a hay field.

Answer 7

I live in Shanghai, China off Xie Tu Lu (we're here for 3 years). I see high rise apartments as far as the eye can see and hear horns honking 24/7.

Answer 8

I see a sky-walk with rocks covering the top of it. And under the sky-walk there is a woman standing in the shelter of a bus-stop. It's raining and I see her standing there everyday -- I don't think the bus even comes to that stop anymore, so I feel sorry for her. Elderly people can be stubborn.

Answer 9

Why do you want to know? Are you spying on me?

If you find internet discussion forums too impersonal for your taste, and prefer to be able to picture the people you're communicating with, why don't you step outside your room and talk to someone face-to-face? That way, you'd be able to see exactly where they were, and what the view was like.

If you are interested in how other people live, and what different parts of the world look like, I would suggest that travelling might be a more appropriate hobby for you than sitting at your computer.

(Added later): I'm very sorry if I hurt your feelings with my comments above; I was feeling grumpy (he likes it, you know), but that doesn't excuse my unprovoked rudeness. Being such a misanthrope myself, I find it hard to understand why someone would be interested in other people's answers to a question like this, but it wasn't my place to criticise your question simply because I didn't feel like answering it. Unlike me, you are clearly a friendly and outgoing person who is interested in details of other people's lives, and I sincerely apologise for responding to your innocent query with a shameful display of petulance. If I knew how, I would give back the 2 points, which I don't deserve as I didn't even attempt to answer the question. (If you really want to know: a van, a fence, the corner of a house, and the back-end of a factory.)
I do sometimes get frustrated that this site is used for casual chat, rather than as a tool for finding knowledge and information, which I believed was the intention, but I realise that it's very unfair of me to inflict my sour-puss personality on everyone else. I hope that in future you get lots of the kind of answers you wished for, rather than mean-spirited back-biting from curmudgeons like me.

Answer 10

I see a gray overcast day and rain and my neighbour's house. I wish I could see a lake nestled in the mountains and the leaves in full fall colour....sigh.
