I see the gas station ... because I literally live right next to a gas station D:

Well... Is it at least good looking gas station or just some random gas station? ;)

Love the idea! After knowing now how everybody looks this would have been my next question as well: where is everybody living? Loving it! :D
Took this picture a few minutes ago sitting right in front of my desk, looking outside. There's plenty of tomatoes on my veranda, they'll be all gone soon...

well we already know faces and house looking... next stop, actual name, social security numbers, credit card passwords and then the world

Wow, that looks great. Yet again, I would be a little paranoid about having my wall made of glass. Nothing is better to make me feel safe than strong, brick walls :D
Seriously is look like a very calm, nice quiet place. Very cosy.
Comment has been collapsed.
It looks very comfortable. Feels like you're living near the forest. And that armchair (or sofa) on veranda... Very nice :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I think it looks great. The whole idea of having bed next to window is cool. You can lay at night and chill out looking at your neighbourhood.
Who is that shy person at the edge of the phot? ;)

Oh, it's my girlfriend. Haha. But yeah, it's cool, specially when it's raining.

Here it is the view from my bedroom at my parents house! it is in a little town/city (15k people), the garden used to be a lot more green and with strawberry plants and others but recently some bastard trow some acid or stuff so things wont grow, death to them :D
also the house in front is a whole block :D

My first thought was about mansion from Desperados movie (the one with Antonio Banderas). Also, that wheel looks cool af. Was it just thrown there because you don't have place for it elsewhere or is it a decoration?
Comment has been collapsed.
Is decoration my mom love those kind of thing we have the whole house full with that kind of stuff

What a beautiful place! Is it as nice at it looks? :) Would be so kind and tell me a little more about that place? :)

Oh I can understand being fond about names for things like that. I know that from my own experience.
Thank you for the location info, now I have another entry on my 'to visit' list :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I see my street, then my car, then a patch of grass, then a (not too busy) 5-lane highway, then a some trees. In the fall/winter when the leaves are gone, I'd also see a river, and finally mountains on the other side of the river. When the highway is quiet, it's not a bad view in the fall/winter.

Pond & trees... Other stuff :P

Aren't you afraid of Sad Pepe from Swamps?
Sorry, I had to
Still love that view; Is it deep enough to swim in it?
Comment has been collapsed.
Told em to go out to the forest & strap some steaks to his chest, stand there all night long & it would attract the perfect one... haven't seen em since :(
Yep you can swim in it, 30ft deep in some section. :P

Living in Russia I can only see Putin monuments, Katyushas casually driving by the streets, some drunk dedushka wearing his old dirty ushanka and singing army songs with his bear which plays on balalaika and is also drunk. Also I can see vodka growing on the trees, but no children at all. Some of them are drinking vodka with their classmates, some are sitting at their homes and playing CS:GO. And some are doing both simultaneously.

For some reason I only just saw this. I'm not English but I have lived for most of my life in Walsall, England. It was once part of the industrial heartland of Britain but anything resembling that is long gone. When I was a kid I used to play with my friends in miles of derelict factories, some with big holes still in them from luftwaffe bombs. Now all of those are retail parks and distribution centres for big retail chains attracted by the central location in the country and cheap labour.
I've moved a bit over the border now into rural Staffordshire near an area of 'outstanding natural beauty' Cannock Chase (and the physical location of Bundle Stars). There is a lot of wildlife around that I'm not used to and also some local mythological beasts such as the pig-man. My cat alternatively chases squirrels and then gets chased around by badgers. The muntjacs occasionally scare the hell out of me in the middle of the night with their weird noises.
Out of the window I can see other houses that along with mine were originally built for coal miners (so nothing posh). And the canal that used to be for the barges carrying coal (there was a lot of coal mining here but the last of it closed down in the Thatcher years). And a lot more green stuff than I grew up with and cows in a field beyond the canal and beyond them forest and somewhere past that the war cemetary.
This was the last photo I took out of my window, it is of a sparrowhawk that is nesting in trees along the canal and has been preying on the wild birds that I feed in the garden;

That part about your younger years sounds very interesting. And I have to add here that it always make me sad where old, historical places are sold to the higgest bidder and then turn into retail parks or similir things. There is so much good, interesting ways they can use places like that, but no - better sell it.
Wildlife sounds cool, pig-man sounds even better. Do you have some kind of weekend supernatural hunters visiting your area? I know there are a lot of people who likes to go on a search like that, hoping they will film it and create something similliar to found footage movies but real. Can't blame them tho, I would like to do soemthing like that for fun one day.
preying on the wild birds that I feed in the garden
So... you are working together? ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
Not many people actually go looking for the terrible pig-man! We do get people looking for UFOs though - one area of the chase is allegedly a UFO hotspot and there are persistent rumours of a UFO crash retrieval during the cold war. And there is some other local weirdness that people occasionally take an interest in (the 'black eyed children', mysterious big cats, werewolf sightings around the German war cemetery, very old stories of an a subterranean civilization beneath the chase and lots of ghost stories surrounding the various military fortifications ranging from celtic times to the cold war era).
Me and the sparrowhawks don't actually work together but I am starting to feel very guilty about leaving food out for the smaller birds and attracting them into danger!
Comment has been collapsed.
That was interesting reading, and it seems like an interesting site! I will waste some time there :D
As for UFO, I think I heard about it before. I even think I saw 'found footage' horror movie that was based on this urban legend.
As for sparrowhawks, I was thinking about it, really. It might sound cruel but I think you shouldn't feel guilty. Nature is harsh and wild animals have struggle for life every day. Feeding some smaller birds, no matter what result is, is generally a good thing. If you help some smaller bird one day - it's a good deed. If you unwillingly helped sparrowhawks - it's still a good deed. I know it might sound weird, but I belive there is some logic behind what I just wrote :P

My room's only window has a beautiful view to another room in my house. :c
Comment has been collapsed.
It'd be something like this.
My great granddad built the house like 60 years ago, and when it was already done he remembered he didn't built a kitchen and a bathroom, so he built like and extra and as a result the room (that's my bedroom now) ended up with only that window. We can't make another one because of the laws in my country, you can't build a window without asking your neighbours for permission.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh that explains everything. I feel kinda stupid asking for this because you probably already tried but can't you just ask you neighbours for permission? And what abou that little windows, you know basement like. You could put in on wall just under the roof. You would have some light and your neighbours wouldn'y be afraid that you watch them (if this is what they are thinking -.-)
Comment has been collapsed.
We tried once, but there's so much paperwork that we just gave up. Our option nowadays is to make a roof window or a skylight, we're still choosing which one is best considering the weather, the position of my house and the huge amount of cats that live nearly xD
Comment has been collapsed.
Skylight sound cool :D
And yeah, sometimes I think that paperwork is so demanding just to make people think nah, screw this, too much work so other people would have less work -.-

I live in Croatia so I can see the sea very nicely :D. I'll upload a pic tomorrow probably

I see a monotonous haze of grey, an eructation of the putrid city, almost concealing the sudden but faint glint of optimism in my reflection.

Looks peacefull. Is there a real big forrest or is it just some trees that looks like forrest from that perspective?
Also, his setting looks somehow familiar. May I ask where are you from?
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm in Kyiv now. My hostel is situated in the suburb. It's a rather historical and old region where I live which is called Feofaniya. I can't say that what I see from the window is the part of the forest, but the big forest really starts not far from me (10 minutes going south or 5 minutes going north :D). There is also a beautiful park in the south:
Comment has been collapsed.
Wow, it really looks beautiful. I would even say - romantic ;P
It's a cool thing to have forrest so close. Well, I can't say I would have to go far to reach forrest that starts at the south of my district, but on foot in would take me up to whole 40 minutes to get there! or around 5 with subway ;P
I think I have already heard about Feofaniya. If I remember correctly my friend lived there for some time (he have some family on Ukraine). I will have to ask him :)
EDIT:
Seriously, this photo is great. Places like that, especially in big cities, are like enclaves of peace and quietness. Seriously love it.
Comment has been collapsed.
Sorry for a late reply :D
I'm happy you liked it so much though the last photo wasn't made by me. I like the place where I live. It looks like I'm lucky for such places :) The previous campus was also not far from the forests (with swamps!). We even organised "expeditions" through such forests with swamps a few times :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Damn, that sound cool. Still, I think I would be a little uneasy on swamps. Don't get me wrong, I would love to visit some one day, but you know... Swamp Monsters, crocodiles, and stuff... xD

I've kinda moved today so here goes:
Comment has been collapsed.
I love how it goes, from left to right. First, lets be honest, some ugly building and some boring, grey office blocks. Then we have some hill in the background (what's that? Some mountains?) and some nice beige residental blocks appear. And finally, on last photo, we can pretend that this is some calm, colorfull residental area ;P
But, you know, I'm not saying it's bad. It's jsut, you know, I have saw mixed archotecture like that many times in my city :P
BTW, you are from Czech, right? On last photo I saw at least eight Skodas :P
Comment has been collapsed.
Wait, do you actually live IN a forrest? That must be cool!
Comment has been collapsed.
No, it's a neighborhood. I have a big back yard with lots of trees, and there are dense woods behind my yard. My desk is in the corner between two windows. That is out the window to my right. If I look out the other window I would see my neighbor's house, but I can't look out or take a picture because I have it covered with cardboard. In the evening the sun shines on that side of the house and it's so bright I can barely see the monitor, so I blocked it with cardboard.
Comment has been collapsed.
Wouldn't courtains be better? Still I can totally understand it. Also, love that back yard. It must be cool to have your own 'little forrest' :)

I think I nailed it pretty hard.

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 ͡°)
Plenty of GAs
Let me answer befor you ask - no there isn't any mistake in the link
It's a panorama photo, but I think it look fine. open it in new tab, it's not as small at it appears on SG site
