I’m looking out my bedroom window, planning where to ride, and I can see Berwick Law and the Firth of Forth with a beautiful blueish sky. From another bedroom I can see Arthur’s Seat. What can you see?
An old school.
Or is that old skool?
Gawton one way, dartmoor the other.
The South downs, cows in a field, the Chattri (Indian war memorial) and miserable grey skies/rain so think I will enjoy the view from inside today!
Mamores at the front, munros at the back.
My bin leaning on a neighbour's car...
watch out, loads of boasting incoming.
The Million
Jura mountain range on one side and alps on the other
The Sarf Downs, under leaden skies.
I suspect it’ll be a “blue” job to walk the dogs today.
Rain.....
Snow covered Allermuir and Caerketton Pentland Hills. Be out in it this arvo!
Frankenstein castle.
Hamble Point Marina, dark grey river, shingle beach, Calshot Chimney and a muddy grey Solent.. oh the IoW ferry has just entered view.
To the north west fields, the Solway and some Scottish fells.
To the south fields and some Cumbrian feels.
To the east I can see fields and the Caldbeck transmitters.
West more fields and an old slag heap.
Nothing but bush.
The Northern Corries of the Cairngorms and along the Lairig Ghru. Currently snow covered. We see the lights of the piste bashers when it's a bit darker.
Interesting, I’m going to have to look most of these places up though. Mamores looks very nice!
watch out, loads of boasting incoming.
How so? - surely a view is not indicative of much.
I remember my mother coming up from Cardiff to visit me in Edinburgh. She said “it’s very nice, but it hasn’t got anything Cardiff hasn’t”. However, being considerably hillier, a lot more people have amazing views.
Also “My bin leaning on a neighbour's car...” made me smile 😀
Sydney Opera House, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon and herds of wilderbeast sweeping majestically across the plain
Greyness
Dull, leaden, wet northern greyness
Nothing but bush.
Giggidy!
How so? - surely a view is not indicative of much.
if you have a view, i.e. not a row of other houses front and back.
Pendle Hill one way, Cliviger Gorge the other and some other nondescript 70's houses like this one from the front.
A sprawling mid-90's housing estate 🙁
At least I live on the edge of it and about 20 mins cycle time away from the Peaks. What the hell, a house if a functional item. Keeps the weather off us and is convenient for the kids school, kids mates and an Aldi, so at least I'm not driving the car everywhere.
Other houses on all sides and plenty of rain 😥
Frankenstein castle.
I have to ride out of town to see that.
In one direction, I can see a mobile phone mast on the building opposite. And the weather that's about to spoil the bike ride that I just got ready for.
In the other direction, I keep those curtains closed, because if I open them (particularly at the weekend), I'll inadvertently see the weird guy opposite tending to his balcony garden stark boll*ck naked (again). That's the reality of living in Germany.
150 year old attic flat in leith. From east to west
I can see north berwick law and bass rock, the lammermuirs, Arthurs seat, calton hill, the Pentlands, the banana flats ;-), and corstorphine hill
A 360 degree pano from my roof - from the flat I cannot see to the north without sticking my head out of the window - only a 270 degree view from the flat

Brigadoon
langsett and cut gate Manchester woodhead Emly moor
The wheel for the lifts at the Scottish Mining Museum.
Broken fence panel I'm about to try to fix.
blown down ladder from earlier this week and a very sad looking garden waiting for spring to arrive.
Fields, nothing but fields...
except the bloody road and houses in the way. Still, can see the fields, and cows sometimes, and occasionally it turns into a lake when the river floods 😀
Can just about see my old flat in tjs panoramic.
Here it's a few houses then cheviot, Minto hills, Ruberslaw and out the kitchen thw maidens paps (on a good day).

Blackpool Victoria hospital (car park and women's unit mostly)
Other houses and my neighbours visitor parked across the pavement.
grey drizzle
Typical Swansea Valley but a bit gloomier today as it's overcast.

I can see four Jehovas Witnesses standing on the corner of the road getting ready to do the rounds yet again.
Zulus, thousands of 'em.

Everyone in Burnley can see Pendle Hill. It's quite big.
🙂
and back home... and continuing the grey/bleak theme...
the marshes in Great Expectations
Squirels and a sparrow
out the kitchen thw maidens paps (on a good day)
I bet it is.
My neighbours caravan.
Grey miserable sky
Two robins fighting
My shed. 🙂
Annnnnnnnnnnnnd a partridge in a pear tree.Aha.
My neighbours car parked on my drive....grrrr
The Isle of Wight
The Solent
some Martello towers
A few freighters at anchor
shingle beach
The Chimet weather station. ( 1 person on here will know what it is )
An unfashionable northern town.
More specifically, 96 acres of grassy park, with avenues of trees, grassy slopes, football, cricket, hockey and rugby pitches surrounded by comfortable looking Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian villas. If I look carefully between the houses of the far side, I can see the traffic on what was once the Great North Road. To the right, the spires of the town churches, to the left, the grandstands of the racecourse and the new hotel being built.
Chimet !!!!
Niiiice..
Any surf ?
A sheep.
The moon sometimes
A good stretch of the Mersey from Crosby to the new Runcorn bridge
The masts on Old Pale at Delamere

Ah - Curto must be in Torquay.
The neighbour mowing her lawn in training shoes.
Nothing else, just the shoes.
( Not today but it’s the sort of ‘treat’ we get during the summer).

He can probably see the sea as well.
Over there, between the land and the sky.

You're not understanding the game, you're meant to be saying what you can see if the surrounding houses weren't there!
I can see a viaduct from my front room where I'm sat now with Wainstalls tower in the distance, the woods all my rides start and end in out the other side and if I look out the back there's more woods and the canal.
Trees that form part of a small nature reserve and the Crystal Palace transmitter. I can see a couple of roofs and the tops of buses on a main road but they are obscured for most of the year by leaves.
If I lean out the bathroom window I get a panoramic view from the shard past Battersea, Wembley right round to the Heathrow approach flight path.
Having previously lived in a terrace where you just have a brick wall and somebody’s kitchen for a view i get great pleasure in the fact I can only see trees and sky when sat in the living room.
My garage.
Some other houses out the front (I'd only have to knock 2 down to see the Yorkshire Dales or hills thereof)
Some leafless trees out the back & can see the NY Moors through them. Can almost see Kilburn Hoss!
If it wasn't grey and wet...
West: hills of North Wales
South: two castles
North: my barn
East: trees
I like it here 🙂
It's hard to find just the right amount of vaunting abashment, but out the back ...a small forest with some very cold bullocks in it. Out the front rolling fields, hills and a river. A small boat has broken the otherwise perfectly still river's glass like reflection of the snow capped hills.

Mountains to the left of me
Fields to the right
Stuck in the middle with ewes
The Irish sea, Tara hill and croghan mountain.
Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically across the plain.
May be porky piecing on that but my glass balustrade an deckings lush thou.
Telephone exchange across the road - fast broadband.
Some other bungalows out the back.
In the middle of town, 7 or 8 pubs/eateries within 200m. I love the hills but I'm a townie at heart.
Front - a mixture of Victorian, Regency and Elizabethan houses, walls and wobbly rooftops. And the spire of a Cathedral.
Back - a church, a church hall and lots of trees.
Out the front:

I can see TJs flat
Forth Bridge, Forth Road Bridge, a bit of the Queensferry Crossing and all the way along the Forth to North Berwick Law with the Pentlands and Lammermuirs as a backdrop. And sea as the foreground
At night on occasion from the back of the house I can see the glow of Barad Dur.
A repaired fence (see earlier post).
A small lawn, a fence and then a huge field and a valley that stretches right down to the Ribble and the flatlands of The Fylde. We can see all the weather coming over from the Irish sea and we get some smashing sunsets. Right now there are sheep in the field but in Spring the cows will be back and we will be able to watch them calving from the back of the house.
Front, my Land Rover then trees. Back, sodding great trees. One side, sodding great holly hedge then trees. Other side , nowt. It's a semi.

No snow today though
Front, my wife’s car that I’m about to check the fit of some snow chains on ready for the mountains next week, a road and then a few other houses. The back, lawn, kids play area, our field and the stream then the Mendip hills with a few cows on them.
