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!

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!

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).

Other houses and my neighbours visitor parked across the pavement.

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.
🙂

the marshes in Great Expectations
Squirels and a sparrow
