Okay, it might seem like a lame topic... but check out the great views I have from my offices in Cape Town.



This is the view from our balcony. Unfortunately the shot doesn't do it justice.


This is the shot from our foyer. For those of you that haven't been to South Africa or seen pictures of Cape Town, that big hunk of rock is Table Mountain.

Hope you enjoyed these pics of my home town.

Its winter in sweden..... even if I was tall enough to see out the little window, all i would see is darkness. About 6 hours daylight at the moment and its either misty or dull. Wont bother a photograph!

Unfortunatley my lab. only have windows in the roof, so the view from my "office window" is at the moment GREY

Beautiful, nice view!

Here's mine

one word for mine......................awful!!!! got an old bus depot across from it on one side and aircon units on the other we have the worst office in the company upstair has all been re-fitted but not us...they removed radiators without switching the water off upstairs and it came right down through our ceiling office stung of dampness for weeks

Rudi,

you are truly blessed to have such a view of both water and mountain. My office window looks out into a parking lot but I'm not complaining cuz so very few of us even have a window to look out!

My office overlooks the factory floor, and when the Amada punch press is going, all I hear is "BANG, BANG!!!" And I don't just mean it's loud, it is the kind of bang you feel down in your gut (which is rather sizeable in itself since I changed from blue to white collar). The office itself is very tastefully decorated, and they are re-doing the first level in the offices in wood panneling so we have a very nice office to work in. There are only three offices that actually have windows outside (occupied by the P and VP's) and their views are very nice. We are in a part of KC that is still heavily forrested and down in a valley so the outside world seems like we are in the middle of no where, a fact which I like. Except for the occasional train the area is cut off from the rest of the world.


That's me on the left.

As a truckdriver I have probably the best view from my 'office', forever changing. Although in my current job driving a milk tanker at night, al I see is darkness. I now how Plasticbattle must feel....

Cheers
Henk

Like Henk, my "office" has a moving view.
However, as a driver for a Nursing Home, I tend to retrace the same route a lot.

I have three doors to my office/shop. One is to another office, the other is to the hallway, the third is out to the bay with this in front of it. I have one window which looks out to the automotive bays with 5 tons, HEMMTT's, Hummers, and other vehicles.

I get to see the busiest airport in the world, depending on what statistics you use...



For those who can't tell, it's The Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International AIrport...

Pete, that's quite a view!

Bob, I worked at Cape Town International Airport for 4 yrs up until 4 months ago. Gotta admit, there's nothing like hearing the roar of a 747 taking off with low cloud cover! It just resonates through the bricks and mortar right through your body! Amazing to hear and feel. Got me every time for those 4 yrs!

The view from my office is very similar to Henks lol, just the darkness and taillights of other vehicles as I go about my job.

I wish this was the view from my office window, but I do see it on the way to and from work. I have no view from my desk. The closest windows are 100 feet away and all they look out on is a berm that runs the length of this building. Like a hill covered with scrub grass but nothing to look at.

Fortunately we have nice viewing windows all over that either look out on Pikes Peak, or a forest near our campus. Plus I get to see a lot of Air Force Jets doing flyovers at the Academy at homecoming or graduation.

No view in my office...but there are Windows on the two PC's i'm running...hehe

Kev,
Can I come to work with you??? :-) :-) :-) :-)

I'm on the second floor of a downtown building (formerly a post office) with a single bank of west facing windows overlooking a small parking lot, an apartment building, and the receiving area of
an office furniture store. Out the front (east facing) of the building overlooks a tirestore/car repair shop and a strip club. To the south is a commercial parking lot and the back of several restaurants. North of me is the Amtrak station. My cubicle has a skylight, so I can check the weather.

This is the south-east corner of my building, circa 1940. This would be roughly the view of my office building from the strip club.

Hows about a rough view from your office building of the strip club??? :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

my 'office' is my school no windows at all in the school, just in the stairwells...kinda lame, i look at white walls and blackboards all day.......

capetown looks beautiful!

My office is below grade in a basement.

No windows at all (not much air flow either).

I can relate. In my last office when I looked out the window, I had a ground level view of some picturesque hills across a small valley of sorts. Of course, I was just as likely to eye to eye with a crow feeding on the ground. :-)

Not much of a view but this "office" really gets around https://photos.kitmaker.net/data/500/1356P1010122-thumb.JPG/image.file[/img]

My view consists of a man about seven feet away from me on the other side of a twenty foot long steel table. He usually wears a leather layer of protective clothing . I do too. We then proceed to create BLINDING flashes of light. We try not to flash each other with the light too often. We also wear protective helmets with very dark lenses, but when tacking the assembly together, sometimes my shield isn't down when my partner strikes an arc.( He has the same problem.) My eyes usually ache by the end of the day. You are welcome to come help if you wish. Not a very good view.

Picture below was taken technically outside my office, but still inside the foundry. My office is in the center of the building, since it the actually nerve center of the whole operation (LOL.)
That is five metric tons of molten iron being transfered from the melting furnace into the holding furnace. Always fascinates me. Iron running like water at about 2700 degrees. Maybe it is the latent pyro in me.

No B-757's, No M2 Bradleys for me... just the parking lot.

We are located on quite nice grounds here in Shrewsbury MA USA, a high-tech 'campus' type of surrounds with lots of farm land, woods and two ponds around the three buildings here. I walk two miles everyday at lunch and for the most part, I never leave the campus. We get a lot of winged wildlife here during migrations as well as BK-117, UH-1 (dwindeling numbers), UH-60, ocasional C-5 and C-130 aircraft. Deer are visible early in the morning.

It is nice to have the window however, it is way too bright for us CAD guys and due to the fact that this will all be coming to an end by next June, they will not cough up the cash for curtains.

The 'scenery' in the next cube over is very, very nice as well.
