Has anyone got an interesting view from their office window, home or work. What do you get to look at out of your window?
My view looks OK on a sunny day, least it's not a brick wall, see below. What do you see?

I see the tip of someone's house and a blue sky with whispy clouds.

Scaffolding since September - no natural daylight for months

And Bosnians in high vis and hard hats

A sunny day and no work, wouldn't you rather be in that car, than the boat?

I've got a demolition site - can't manage a photo!

In the past couple of months it's been a set for Casualty and now they have ripped the buildings down (that's a bugger for the continuity man )

For anyone in Bristol it's the old Georges/Courage Brewery site.

It's been quite interesting actually!

I have a view of totally brown flatness in every direction for as far as the eye can see...

I took this while dangling 40m up in a man basket just before I was lowered down into a chimney.

Not sure they are wearing anything under the high vis of course

We keep hearing the supervisors yelling at them to put their hats back on

They have a sign at the front saying 176 days without a reportable accident site. What they don't mentioned are the blazing rows from trying hold a phone conversation with a client while, just outside your window, someone cuts up a steel fire escape with an angle grinder and the near homocides from someone telling you in the middle of February that they need to keep your window open for two hours while they paint it!

Horrible view this week - empty bus stop on a main road.

After half term though it will be back to looking at the fantastic totty from the local six form college at the full bus stop. [perve mode]Did I mention that the windows are mirrored?[/perve mode]

Nothing exciting. A main road and some hardware places (Hewden, plumbing center, pipe center, climate center etc etc).

Oh, and if I lean a bit, birds (the bakers)

I can see new Scotland Yard in all its mirrored-glass glory. The worst part is you cant walk down the pavement at lunchtime without tripping over either a news reporter/cameraman/lighting guy/soundman or assistant now that they all seem to have to do their reports on terrorism stories with the revolving sign in the background!

Come up to Edinburgh. My first job - IT dept at Royal Bank - walk down Hanover st every morning looking at Forth - glorious in the sun. Move to Scottish and Newcastle (where Scottish Parliament is now) - overlooking Holyrood Palace. Ignore period in bunker on industrial estate while at Bank of Scotland, then move to Scottish Widows - next to Arthurs Seat, the Crags - what more could you want!!
