The view outside your window

[tikibirds]

WHat does it look like outside your window?
This is my view. Typical new constructed apartment buildings in a small Chinese city.

For two years in North London, it was a street and a rail bridge.

Then I moved...and it was...a street and a rail bridge xD.

My office view is cool-  here's one window - looks out on the library

Couple of old terraced houses and a hill covered in trees behind them.

I live by an old mill so I am guessing they were workers cottages back in the day. I found pictures of them from 100 years ago not much has changed 😆

Well, I have two views. It is rather dark as it's still early morning.

Nice. It's supposes to snow here tomorrow.
Should be fun riding an electric bike to work in the morning 

[Galactica]

Oooh snow! BRRR

We sometimes get snow- but not every year.  More surprisingly my family in So. Cal got snow!  They never get snow.  It wasn't much but enough for the kids to run around and make mini snowmen 

More pictures please! I like seeing other cities- especially in other countries !!!    Taffeta don't you have a pic of your rail and bridge view ???


The view out my house is a little more dull.  We live in a 1920s Craftsman- surrounded by a bunch of other craftsman and tudor houses built in the 1920s. 
Basically most of the houses look like some variation of this (with a sprinkling of Tudors and 1950s square brick looking things) - and the occasional newer "mod" house now:

This is from a local park-  we have a lot of trees and green green grass.  The "beaches" (boardering lakes and puget sound) are cold and windswept but pretty.

I'm not sure if I have photos of either given that I don't live in either place now but I will check.

Edit: I found one of them, not the other. It's not a great picture but there is the rail bridge

I was going to go through and see if I had my view from the flat in Kyoto as well but then I realised I have, like, 3000 unlabelled photos still from my trip there and the enthusiasm rather disappeared xD. I did find one which is of the street, probably taken from the bus stop though, not my window...

The Familymart convenience store opened while I was there and it really was convenient xD.

I live in a house so there are a lot of windows but this one is taken from my large bedroom window (there are 3 windows in my bedroom but the other two just face the neighbors house).

Yes. Very exciting.

There is a road there and in the front is a wide, overgrown swale. For anyone who has seen me mention the prisoners who do yard work, this is the stretch of road they work on. They planted those bushes years ago too.

I love my view! It's like a paradise, every season it's beautiful. I live in a flat, and this is my "backyard":

Great!  I love these pictures- even the "unexciting" ones, lol-   it feels like looking through a window into another country

I know there are random photos online that you can find of countries- but there is something better and more real about what regular people photograph ...

oooh..I got quite a few since I am usually by myself 
 I went to Okinawa for 10 days during the Chinese New Year holiday and spent most of it just wandering aimlessy around by myself(except for about 4 days when I booked bus tours out of the capital city of Naha. There were options for English speaking tours but they didn;t visit where I wanted to go so I went with the Japanese only tours (as in Japanese language only, not only for Japanese people). The guides were very nice and made sure they didn't leave the foreigner behind..)

Random kitty in doorway for...I don't know what it was. A bar maybe?

I gotta go dig through facebook and look for pictures of rural China. I never put my pictures into proper albums >.<

Cats in shrines/temples - definitely a thing in mainland Japan as well. Often in multiples.

So nice you got to see Shuri before it burned down :/ I imagine they'll rebuild it like they did after the war.

I'd love to visit Okinawa. But that street is just somehow so Japanese. even though it has, like, signs for Okinawa soba and Ryuukyuu stuff but we'll pretend not...

I really liked Okinawa and wouldn't mind teaching English there for a year. Not sure if there is much of a demand though, only once did I see an advertsiement for a position in Naha.
