Out of the window from your position right this minute?
I'm on the edge of Stockport and Manchester and out of the window on my left I can see the tops of some houses and above them some Peak District hills
From the window on my right the tops of south'ish Manchester, the fuel plant at Ellsmere Port and (just about) some hills behind that I'm guessing are the Clwyds?
Just nosey about where others are and what they can see.

In Coventry in a large open plan office, one wall is approx 200m away in front of me and has windows but cannot see anything through them at this distance, solid walls to my right and rear, row of senior manager offices to my left, one is glass fronted and through that and the outside window I can see the back of a white transit being unloaded and a mixed hedgerow, can also see the top of one of the air conditioning units on the building wall, bet no-one can beat that for a shit view 🙁

Sat in my new office in the centre of Exeter, (well Southernhay, but the centre of town is 1 min walk) my desks are by a window on the 3rd floor. I can just see the sea, I can see the edge of the park at Bull Meadow where my wife takes the kids every day, I can see Haldon and the foothills of Kenton. Lovely.

In an office in India with no windows, so a selection of walls 🙁

On the plus side there are some birthday cards sat on my desk to brighten things up 🙂

Cheers, Rich

Several trees, the blossom on some giving way to new buds; a bus at the bus-stop. Some blocks of flats, a little row of terraced houses, a Victorian church and rectory, my postie scurrying around like a man possessed.

Where I am:

Dining room table. I've got a day off but doing a bit of work off and on as well.

What can i see: out of the patio windows i can see a fat ginger cat asleep on the garden table. I can see the last two rolls of turf that need laying. I can see a big box which has my repaired Outwell Montana awning in, back in 3 days from Scottish Mountain Gear (great service btw)

What can i hear: my 4 yo bashing about at something, but she sounds happy and it can be fixed, I'm sure.

I'm sitting on my sofa, having a nice cuddle with my sleeping 2 week old boy, and looking out of the window at the Mamores thinking about which hills I will take my dogs up later on. Happy days.

I was half tempted to have you playing guessing games for a bit there..

But I won't.. I'm looking at the venerable Exmouth Olde Bill station..

edit: what's the common above Teignmouth called? Shaldon? Ashcombe? I can see that too..

Balad, Iraq, and the window's are sandbagged up, but if I step out the door and look I can see a palm tree, a wall and an airstrip with some C130s and F16s on it.

I am on the edge of Aldershot. From my actual desk I can see the next tower of this building and some sky. However if I move I can see lovely pine woodland and then forest stretching away towards and over Tunnel Hill. If I go down to the end of the office I look directly into the upper canopy of the surrounding forest - lovely.

out the window of my office, mountains towards Brecon, top edge of the Skyline - which makes it worse as top day for a ride.

Trails last night were like dust bowls, made worse but the stink of all the burnt hill sides!!!

Looking to the right I can see the horrendous chain smokers from the office across the road. Pretty much any time I look out the window during the day, they're outside having a fag 😕

When the door opens, I can see 25 miles of North Sea, a few oil & gas platforms (Heimdal, Harding, Berly-A, Beryl-B) and some volcanic ash drifting down. (OK, I can't see it but I know it's there).

What I can't see is any helicopters. Which is bad news.

In Leeds.
Back window, garden which looks like a WW1 trench at the moment 😥 but will hopefully look like a garden before the last of this years sun disappears.
Front window, neighbours houses with woodland behind (100m away from front door)

A stunning view of snow covered mountains on the Isle of Skye, with more snow capped mountains in the distance, and I can just make out two bikers descending down to the bay below.

Unfortunately thats just a poster. I'm in a windowless whitewashed breezeblock workshop just outside of Manchester.

Golden CO.
Foothills of the Rockies in front of me, South Table Mesa and the Golden Capital building to my right. It's only 3 in the afternoon here but it's
very dark, the sky is black and some of the lower clouds are forming eerie shapes.
Wondering if all hell is about to break loose, someone somewhere close is getting pummeled with lightning and hail.
It might pass us by, but I'm glad I decided against riding in today.

The slightly gloomy suburb of Onehunga in Auckland, from my kitchen table I can see our fence which always has big fat thrushes and Mynah birds scuttling along it, behind that is a 'kin great zinc shed belonging to my redneck hotrod mad neighbour.
i can also see there is a good chance of getting rained on today on my commute to work.
