I'm looking out of my window over a hay meadow with tall trees beyond and a dusky pink sky above. Guess I'm lucky. What you got?

Houses and hills

If we kept the washer and dryer in the house it would be trees and hills. But we don't, so it's the laundry.

Houses, at least they've been here so long they're all slightly different now.

New housing estates always look so bleak to me, they can take a decade or more to establish a character.

A building site (in fairness, its the top of my own garden a - putting in a new terrace) the lawn, trees and the kids play area then meadow fields before the 'orchard' looking out onto cows on pasture. There's a tower in the distance put up by a slightly eccentric Victorian to look at the view as well.
I quite like my home!

A big red van and some houses quite like ours...

...but I can put up with that as I know that just the other side of those, about two minutes ride away, are the woods...

Our lovely (to us) old garden - twenties house so nice and long, and the greenery at the end is mature enough to mask the scutters who live the other side of it. 🙂

There's a world outside your window, and it's a world of dread and fear
Where a kiss of love can kill you, and there's death in every tear

Have great weekend everyone 🙂

About six this morning (as I was having a poo), I looked out of the window and there was a woodpecker sitting on a leek flower, possibly a sight that had never been seen before. I felt like it must be prescient of something.

The houses on the other side of the road, behind them a multistorey carpark and if I go up in the loft so I can see over the roofs, I can see the lab I work in! 🙄

Not all bad, there's a nature reserve in the other direction

Our small but nice garden, from upstairs the Otter Valley, Much travelling and I can say 'it's as good as it gets!'. Though I've thoroughly enjoyed the armchair travelling around others views, we live in a wonderful country.
Great thread.

However I know that there are slow-worms in the compost heap, so there's wildlife out there.

Outside my window there is a green lane leading through the holly woods full of Highland mooks to the top of the hill, from where I can see London, Canary wharf, the City and, on a very clear day, Wemberly, most of the Surrey Hills, the SEven sisters down Eastbourne way, Gatwick, Heathrow and the Berkshire downs. The biggest turd in this vista is Woking. Even Aldershot manages a passable imitation of a spanish White Town...

The overgrown trees and discarded children's toys of my back garden,

Side window in bedroom has a view over the Milton Keynes cityscape , which is nicer than you might think as there's a lake & a ton of trees between here and there, it's not the lakes or anything, but when I lived in London it was a train line, the A4, the M4 elevated above it and Heathrow flightpath above that, (took us a while to adapt to the quiet nights round here!)

As the estate agent would say, I enjoy an elevated position with 180 degree views.

Overall its a pleasant view, taking in the English Channel and the South Downs, with a slightly run-down industrialised town with a black hole for a town centre taking centre stage. Basically, all that dirty polluting stuff that you'd stick right on the edge of your 'SimCity' so you could rake in the cash, is slap bang in the middle. Thankfully the houses just below me hide most of it 🙂

Yorkshire, on every bloody side, Yorkshire 😥 There is a chink of light - the Lancashire border is just in view.

It's actually a view across a quiet valley to a gritstone crag. There's about half a dozen properties in the valley. At various times will have deer, hares, curlews, kestrels, buzzards in view.

Across the road is a "lockup" used as a garage by some old chaps. Inside one of the small units is a splitty they are restoring. Jnrs amazed by it, and both of us hope to spot it.

Slightly spoiled by one of the blokes sons who rocks up in his lowered illuminated mkIV golf with the sub blazing looking for some help lowering it further from time to time.

Normally: Win Hill and gliders circling in the Peak District

Now: A cabin city on the Omani/Saudi border and some ancient oil infrastructure. Miserable.

I live on the banks of the River Lochy at Gairlochy. Just yesterday I was having a wee surf while watching the 'Clunes' osprey having a fish. As well as the river from my computer I also have a good view into a big oak tree. Nearest neighbour 200 metres away across the Mucomir cut.

Elected.

Out the front just the street and then across to a small block of flats. Street is at least tree lined with some old and beautiful trees.

Out the back - our garden which backs on to the the road behind our house and more trees.

Much better than the old gaff such was on a dual carriageway and then onto the shop where the local yoof congregate.

I can only see tree's that are part of a nature reserve and the Crystal Palace transmitter from my window, I have to
Kneel on the sofa and put my face up against the window to see the road below so for London I'm happy with that view as it was somebody's kitchen across a terrace yard before.
Hoping the tree surgeons are going to lop the tree outside soon as i can no longer watch the peregrines on the transmitter from my armchair.

I have to stand in the bath to see the panorama of london the other side of the flat which is quite impressive (apart from the dark block of grenfell tower which is directly in line with Wembley arch. 🙁

The Moray firth (literally 10 steps away at high tide), yesterday it was the Summer Isles, before that the Atlantic as seen from North Uist. Tomorrow evening it'll be Hawick with Ruberslaw and the Minto hills beyond.

On a. Good day at least, weather is pish right now.

From upstairs you can see, beaches and dunes, sea, half a dozen islands, the Forth Bridge right along to North Berwick Law, the Lammermuirs, the Pentlands, Edinburgh from end to end, an oil rig, several ships of varying descriptions and a gas terminal. Plus the bits of town between here and the sea, although we sit (snootily) above on a hill so the view isn't impaired.

Its what I open my curtains too every morning. And reminds me that there is a God, and somewhat inexplicably he quite likes me.

However today is such an East Lancs day that the mist and drizzle means I can't even see the end of the street. Bah!

A steaming pile of dog crap. The owner of the mutt yet to be identified after allowing its furry friend to shit there for the past three years.

One day I'll see it happen and engage the appropriate (and disproportionate) revenge plan.

From my bedroom (4story Georgian Town House) I can see the church, a long row of Georgian terraces, a row of cars, a really decent boozer and one of my fave pizza restaurants in Town.
