Children playing ball and skyscrapers so tall, People walking by,planes as they fly, Creeks flowing along and buskers singing songs, Flowers in bloom and cars that go zoom. From my window I see all. Ok so I`m not a poet but then this is a photo thread anyway. Post your most interesting view from a window.

When I bought this house I had a distant sea view from this window, right in the centre, then about ten years ago they built a housing estate and the new houses they built with distant sea views were charged extra! My sea view has gone and has been replaced with the top of a roof - I hope someone builds in front of them and they lose their view too. That white ball thing in the distant left of the photo is the weather radar. A larger view of the weather radar ball!

 Papa Cardinal is glad for this week's theme, as he never found seeds on the porch rail till today. He chirps and sings all day, and mama shows up sometimes, but I haven't found their nest yet. Sorry it's not a clearer picture. I wanted to get a picture of my (indoor only) cats wiggling at the window, drooling at a bird so close, but the cardinal was too savvy to stick around for that. Oh, the view is from the home office, where I work when not traipsing around Pennsylvania (and where maybe, once in a while, just a teeny tiny wee bit... I get sidetracked by FunTrivia.  )

I've never seen a "little red X" through a window before.  That's all I can see right now. Is it my computer?

Since my life is on the road, lots of my photos are taken from out my window or windshield. However, this photo was taken out of one of the windows at the top of the Gateway Arch in St Louis, Missouri, at a height of 630 feet. This is of downtown. More information about the arch can be seen here.

A view from the glass fronted doors of the school in Nansha where I will be working once or twice a week from September. The pagoda affords great views which I will bore you with in the future.

This picture was taken last year from a moving window, namely a bus. It's of the Rhine valley, the foreground is Switzerland and the background is Liechtenstein.

This is a photo taken from the 14th floor of the Forrest Building in St Georges Terrace, Perth, where I teach a class. Not a really good picture I am afraid, but that's because it was taken at an angled window with very little room to manoeuvre and there isn't much light because of the weather and the tall buildings. However, the sun came out for a brief moment and I got this picture which shows the Barracks Arch and Parliament House. The Arch is all that is left of the Enrolled Pensioner Guards Barracks, built in 1863. The Barracks were used for housing Enrolled Pensioner Guards and their families who protected the public against the convicts in the mid to late 1800s. The majority of the Barracks were demolished in the 1960s to make way for the freeway behind it and also to give people a better view of Parliament House. However, people cared more about the historical Arch than about a view of Parliament House and public protest managed to save this small remnant of the Barracks from demolition. By the 1960s, the Arch was in poor condition and crumbling. There were no brickies in WA with the skills needed to restore this type of structure, so my great-uncle Ernest was brought over from South Australia to help accomplish the job. So naturally I have a soft spot in my heart for the Arch.

Great story, MG. From outside the school room ... there's a verandah that's gauzed in which is why it looks like that.
