What can you see from YOUR windows?

#1

Post by 224477 »

Hello Spyderfriends,

I had this idea, maybe a little unconvenient :rolleyes:
Post the pics of the sight you got from your house. I think it would be nice to know the countryside of each other. If you dont wanna post pics from your house´s window, because of some security reasons, then please post some other scenery next to the place where you live, with short comment, why do you like it.
I think this could be interesting.
OK, so this is my view from our windows.
You can see the St. Martin´s Cathedral, National Bank Building and city scenery on picture 1.
There is the House of Parliament next to the Bratislava´s Castle on pic 2.

My view right now, and until the leaves drop this fall, is a wall of green. This shot was taken earlier this spring when the trees were still in bud. The tall building near the center is Corning Tower. It, along with the four somewhat shorter buildings with the white boxes on top that flank it on both sides and several other low buildings not easily seen, make up Empire Plaza. The Plaza is in Albany, across the Hudson river from where I live, and houses many state agencys. To the right of the Plaza, badly obscured by the trees, are the AE Smith Building, and the State Education Building. Further yet to the right, above the rear window of my PT Cruiser, the white building with the red roof is our State Capitol building.

well I'm not sure my view is as glamourous as yours guys... :rolleyes:
but it's a typical view for a person living in a house in a city in France :)

front view: that's what I see from the window of my room, my parents like roses a lot... :D
Image

back view: that's the view from the windows in the back of the house, a little more "open"...

Well, I have nothing as enchanting as a French or Slovakian view, nor can I see a city scape from my window.

What I do have out my window is a Funeral Home. It does have a lovely lighted sign and things are good, if I had a movie/cell phone I'd post pics of the hearse coming and going. If you are still interested I will stick the camera out the window.

Here are some views from my house. I live in a completely new area, what used to be an airport. The house is perfect, but the surrounds could be more exciting. Luckily we have a nice privat garden.
The grassy area from the side windows is gonna be filled up with houses some time or another.
One day, I will have a house or cabin with a view of snow capped mountains - that's my dream!

Ted,

very nice! I like that small river between the houses. Nice functionalistic styled architecture!

What an awesome thread!
too bad I haven't bought a digicam yet....cause if I did, you could see a shot of the building right across the alley. Needless to say, it's not very sunny in my appartement. :)

Keep 'em coming!

It is a beautiful setting here. The front view is of our fruit trees which draw deer on a regular basis. The garden is out the side window which I view from the computer and the second view was of the flood November, 2003. (didn't get into the house butt did lap the foundation)

View from the rear deck. The kayakers were on their way to the ocean about 2 miles downstream. We moved on the bridge railing section from the Rogue River bridge which they refurbished this year, 18 feet long and 6 tons, so I think it will not be washed away by the next flood. I hope! Mother nature has her moods.
