Hello, fellow users!

I was just looking behind my window and thinking about things (lol so funny, so deep; I actually thought about stuff, you know?) and some idea came to mind - we all live in different countries, continents, etc. We have our rooms (shared or not) and I can bet that most of them have windows (no rudness intendet, I know how weird can architecture be) and I wondered - what it first thing you see in the morning, where do you look when you want to rest your eyes from PC screen or when you want to check the weather?
I would love to see that. I would love to see how different (or not) are cities are, where do you live. I would love to see how your homelands look for real, not how they are presented on ads for tourists.
But keep in mind that there is one rule - it have to be view from you room/bedroom/eventually room where you spend a lot of time. You have a great ocean view from your patio, but from you room you can only see other houses? Don't worry about that! Show what you see behind your window!

So I will go first. I live in Warsaw, capital city of Poland. My neighborhood, Ursynów, is on the south of city. It's mostly residential blocks but we have some nice things like parks (there is a lot of green here), sport infrastructure, shops, shoping centers, cinema - you name it. The district is prosepring and people no longer can say it is 'bedroom of Warsaw'. It's not far away from the city centre and it's greatly communicated with the rest of the Warsaw.
It's also kinda young. When Warsaw was destroyed by Germans during WW2, Ursynów didn't existed yet. First groups of residantal blocks was built here around the end of 70s, so over 30 years after the end of war.

I hope this little description was interesting for you :) I would love to hear similiar stories but single photos will also be cool. I might not answer to all comments, but keep in mind that I will check all of them :)


Oh, I almost forgot, this is the link to plenty of GAs: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I see a tree. And nothing else. The tree is blocking the view. >.<

But behind the tree there is a burnt hill(forests fires and stuff), and behind that hill there is a non burnt hill, and a fence.
This place there is not much but hills, mountains and forests, but I kinda like it. The only problem are the neighbours, always either yelling with eachother or spying you.

Well it sound like a nice, calm (forget about neighbours for a second) area. Do you, by any chance, have a photo of it?

And yeah, spying neighbours -.- I guess there are things that are same, no matter where you live ;/

The air is completely yellow. Hard to breath outside. Not gonna risk opening the window and letting all the dust in :P
Also, all you can see from my window is my neighbor's house, so won't be worth it anyway

Do these storms do any damage? There aren't such things where I live :D

Nothing major as far as I know. I know a lot of people that work outside ended up breathing too much of the dust and were hospitalized with shortness of breath. It's generally recommended to not go outside right now. No damage to buildings or anything like that, since there's not much wind. The dust is just standing still, slowly sinking.

Biggest damage I can think of is how my car looks now, considering I washed it like 2 days before this started.

It belongs to a French family I think since the French protectorate. I'm not sure if the city bought it or not. But I'm pretty sure they want to sell this huge place... But as you may guess, it's an exorbitant price since it's in the city center :)

In the morning there is not much to see :-)
On clear weather on the evening , with sun in the west, it´s best to see, cause they are still about 60-70 km from here.
But of course, with a camera and zoom...even our airport looks like if its located within mountains :P

Oh, I read that, too, hahah. I live surrounded by concrete (one 8 lane freeway is about 15 meters south of front door, the other 4 lane freeway is about 35 meters east) and stores and businesses so any amount of lush greenery makes me totally jealous. ;)

No problem :)

Just in case

  1. You go on imgur and select photo, for example this: http://imgur.com/gallery/aOAGz
  2. You click on the image with RMB and choose 'show image' so you get a new tab, with url that looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/nGexVzj.jpg [note that to make it work, it need to have file format extension at the end. GIF, JPG etc]
  3. Now you go here to comment fromating section and search for Images
  4. You copy paste this link

[remove spaces]

and fill it with your infos. Where you see word 'cat' you can put any text that you want. It will be visible when someone will hover over photo that you will post. Where you see url, you just put url to your image. In my example it would look like that

[remove spaces]

It will give us this link to picture that wil be visible at the bottom of the post.

Downwards are the playgrounds, around some smaller apartment buildings. Then a river and many trees. To the right in the distance I see a shopping centre, even further some skyscrappers and also a football stadium. Ahead behind the trees some taller apartment buildings. Farther ahead I see the city centre with some taller buildings and near it an old city area with very old houses. Next to those is a hill with a castle on top with waving flag on 1 tower. To the left plenty of forest and some hills. And then the farthest away ahead an to the right are plenty of high mountains with white snowy peaks.

It's good to have a window near a PC :) for some zen visuals.
