There’s some houses very similar to mine across the road, two cars parked outside my house, cars parked outside other houses...
About what you’d expect in a medium sized market town, really.

Early spring here...
Shuttlingsloe, Macclesfield Forest and the Cat and Fiddle if the houses at back of where I live weren't there. So, err... houses 😐
A not so dry ski slope.
Waist deep snow , a frozen lake, the mountains, my two perfect children playing with my beautiful swedish wife , next to the garage with my bikes in it. Yeah boy
Hahaa! get a life loser
From the front - wet people on a main street into town.
From the bedroom on the third floor - snow on Exmoor yesterday but it melted today.
The Beach - however bit grey and wind swept at the moment.
Summer Isles, Coigach, An Teallach. All complete with lots of snow.
An uninterrupted view of the North Tyne Valley from the back garden with Deadwater at Kielder as its furthest point 20miles up the road ..other houses at the front ..but I can also see The Pennine Way leaving Bellingham ..
Blackpool Victoria hospital
I was born there, at least you have Stanley Park very near.
From my sofa looking out of front window, the hay, Cockermouth, skiddaw, sale fell and ling fell, skiddaw with a healthy covering of snow today.
Fek all! It's dark!
Darkest Yorkshire one way, the promised land the other way.
A view of the Pennine Way leading across the moors.
Greenfell Tower.
Winter hill
Rivington pike
Wilderswood
N a bit of Blackrod out front
If i had line of sight likd those 1/4 of a mile away up the hill........an amazing vista stretching from Sutton Bank on the N York moors, right up Swaledale towards Reeth. As it is [i]sans[/i] elevated situation, I can only see my neighbours' 1980s semis and detached houses.
Convenience and school catchments have their own costs.....I like to think knowing the views [i]would[/i] be there is encouragement to get out and about.
I can see Devon, a land free from the tyranny of Cornwall County Council.
I can see nothing but the flat across the road, whose balcony has been stacked with surplus floor tiles and empty tubs of emulsion for the last six years since it was done up.
On the plus side, five minutes' walk and I can dip my toes in the bay of Biscay, which helps me to forget the emulsion.
An overcast Sunday morning, a solitary wind turbine and a load of bush

a twinkly emly moor tower from the front, lights from wakey wildcats to distant rear,its ok!
The Lincoln-Sheffield train line with Sherwood Forest behind, and to the front the local Hospital
Red Mountain and (on a really clear day) Mt. St. Helens to the West, Rattlesnake mountain to the Northwest, Horse Heaven Hills to the Southwest and just neighborhood houses to the East and North (of course, one day the open fields to the W, SW and NW will, no doubt, be sold and turned into houses and it will be time to move).
Straight out of the upstairs windows (house is upside down, built to earth on one side) I can see over the plateau of Bolster Moor, across the Colne Valley to Blackmoorfoot. Beyond that the moors above Meltham and away over the Holme Valley to the Masts at Ingbirchworth and Penistone. Look right (West) and you can see the upper end of the Colne Valley over Marsden Moor, and then S West towards Deerhill, and the Greenfield Road over the tops past West Nab. Look South East and you can see the observatory and airfield at Crosland Moor, beyond that Castle Hill. Lean out and look due East and you can see over Golcar and the scarp of Longwood Edge towards Emley Moor mast.
If you stand on my driveway and look due East, you can see all of the M62 corridor from Fixby to Leeds and Bradford, and beyond that you can see a cluster of power stations: Egg borough, Drax A, Drax B, and Selby. On a clear day you can see the edge of the Wolds/N Yorks moors, but it has to be really clear to see those, it must be getting on for 100 miles away.
Straight out at a snowy Skiddaw from near Keswick- inspiring every day!
Out the front it's lovely: very unkept garden and soon-to-be-chainsawn Leylandii hedge, then less than a mile to the beach, St Michael's Mount and Marazion, with Cudden Point and the Lizard beyond. Best from upstairs as the brambles are half way up the downstairs windows (did I mention the garden was unkempt?).
Out the back, not so much: The yard with bins, a mountain of purlins off the old roof, a dozen decaying rubble bags full of crap, some well rotted pallets, old shower tray, newish toilet (in a nice sunny spot to be fair, good place for a tea break), stacks of old slates and ivy rampaging over / through the outbuildings. And randomly at the moment, two trays of kale and some anemone rejects.
Surrounded by a late 50's/early 60's housing estate on all sides but to the north a view of Highdown hill, with Blackpatch hill and the South Downs just visible off in the distance
The river Derwent, Bellerive Oval and central Hobart
Forth bridges, fife, Lomond hills... Oh and mossmorran flare
Out the front, beyond the butt-ugly flat-fronted brown brick and net curtains house across the road, the Solent. A swathe of the south coast. The rooftops of Cowes.
More fireworks and Red Arrows than you can shake a telescope at when Cowes Week is on.
Out the back, long, narrow strips of suburban garden, trees and council houses.
A Tor and a hardplace ;d
Centrepoint Tower

Mountains, a cable car, a tributary leading to the South China sea, part of a massive 55km bridge being built....by mostly pollution.
The peak district and lady cannings
The Otter Valley.
Butt ugly rendered/harled grey Scottish 1970's housing and an unloved steep railway embankment garden.
From the top of the garden we get a view of Ben Vorlich and Stuc a Chroin.
There will be a 'what stove for the garden room' STW stylee soon....
Snow!
This morning? Nothing but Drizzle and mizzle
The Clyde estuary, Dumbarton with its rock & castle, Ben Lomond, Conic Hill, Ben Venue and on a clear day Stob Stob Binnein and Ben More.

From the upstairs front bedroom window I can see the North Sea with lots of ships waiting for their slot in the harbour. quite often there are 20 or so vessels waiting to come in to load up and get back out to the floating villages in the middle of the sea. Across the road I can see the £500 houses built as the city expanded and the slums were demolished.
Jealous of some of the rural views described. Great to have the convenience of larger towns and cities but I would love to have a dark vista at night to see the northern lights or the Milky Way.
Dirt track in front of us then trees and the roof of a neighbours house in the bottom of the valley. Then a HUGE granite outcrop/ridge which mostly blocks my view of the sea (i can see it from some places in the house/on the property). To either side we have neighbours houses visible through the forest (we'll be able to see less once we either get a load of snow or some new leaves)
Behind is garden, trees, more trees, probably a couple of hundred kilometres of assorted trails, logging roads, deer tracks and footpaths. And um. Not much else for 60 or 70 km except a couple of farms and a river.
I can see for about 30km of it on a clear day from the top of a tree in the back of the garden......
30' & 50's housing all around. (No longer overlooked by the two storey 'garden shed' that the neighbours attempted last year).
The sunrise 45 mins ago.

Miles and miles of fields, fortunately there are no hills to get in the way the views 😀
If we had an upstairs, we'd possibly see over the sea banks to the sea.
I thought I had a great view then this pops up
felltop - MemberSummer Isles, Coigach, An Teallach. All complete with lots of snow.
That is a fantastic view.
