I'm using "window" loosely, but what does your corner of the world look like? This picture was taken in the town I was born in. Most of my family still lives in that area and I can quickly grow rhapsodic about this being the landscape of my soul. [I now live about three hours away, but the views are still pretty similar, since I'm in the Shenandoah Valley.]

Wow, looks awesome SB. I miss having real trees like that around.

Great thread idea too.


This was the literal view out my window for several years...although I'm still in the neighborhood and see this every day, just not from the same angle.

We are all so complicated, and then we die. We are a subject one day, with our vanities, our loves, our worries, and then one day, abruptly, we become nothing but an object, an absolutely disgusting pile of shit. We pass very quickly from one stage to the next. It's very bizarre. It will happen to all of us, and fairly soon too. We become an object you can handle like a stone, but a stone that was someone.

My parents filled my windows in the basement with concrete because they wanted a bigger living room. I have not seen sunlight for the last 3 days.

When I go on break at work, I go out to a walkway overlooking the Mississippi River. I took this picture about a week ago with my phone.

I had no idea we lived so close. You can see my private lake from your balcony. It's the further one.

We should fly MK in (to split the cost, we will do your plane in, mine going back, just to be fair) and sip some Pinot from the roof top.

Looking west on King Street, in Toronto:




“We had all the momentum. We were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave. So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look west, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark, that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back.” —Raoul Duke, Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas

I wonder why. Post again if you can -- I would love to see Oxford.

I'm applying to grad schools to become a Shakespeare scholar, so maybe I'll see it (or at least Warwickshire) myself someday soon.
