DIRK'S VIEW The view from Dirk Kirchberg's window in Hanover, North Germany.

"Two minutes away from my apartment lies the Eilenriede, our inner city forest, where you can walk for hours. To give you an idea of its size: It's almost twice as big as Central Park. And if you don't feel like forest, you can relax and the Lake Masch, which lies five minutes away from downtown Hanover"

SUMO'S VIEW The view from Sumo's window in Gracia, Barcelona, Spain.

KATTHY DE WIT
"You see the Andes around Cusco, the most famous city of Peru, out of a train"

"A view out of the hotel-window in La Paz somewhere in october this year when I was travelling with my peruvian boy-friend through south Peru and also a piece of Bolivia. La Paz is a terrific city and special for his place, high in the altiplano and surrounded by more higher peaks of the Andes"

CLARE'S VIEW
The view from Clare's window in Lobley Hill, Gateshead Newcastle, UK.

JIM'S VIEWThe view from Jim's window over river Lea, Lee Valley, East London.

"My view is one I've had since the end of summer 2006, so I've been able to watch the trees shed their leaves and the skies change through the seasons. This is great as the view from my last two windows were a wall, and a wall (albeit with a bit of parkland visible over the top) so seeing the river Lea in Lee Valley, East London (on the edge of the Olympic zone) every day is a real treat. So much so that I'm beginning to wish I worked from home again. The best bit has to be seeing the rowing club every Saturday and Sunday exercising. The girls wear such wickedly long sports socks"

FERNANDA'S VIEW The view from Fernanda's window in Vila Velha, Espírito Santo, Brazil.

"I have the most amazing view from my window, and here it is! I live in a city called Vila Velha, wich is realy close to the capital of my state (Vitória is the capital of Espírito Santo - and Espírito Santo means "holy spirit"). These two cities are kind of like twins, really really close to each other, there's only a bridge of 3.5km between them. And my house is in Vila Velha, but when in frnt of my window what we see is Vitória! It's really amazin, you're in a city and get to see another city landscape! I hope you like it, and come visit Brazil someday cause it's really an amazing place to see!"

INGO'S VIEW The view from Ingo's window in Bielefeld, Germany.

SAM'S VIEW The view from Sam's window in The Parker-Meridien Hotel, New York City, USA.

"Snapped on a brilliant June day this year, it looks north towards Central Park. For me, it's one of the most inviting views around and has me feeling "at home" even if I am not actually "at home."

DAN'S VIEW The view from Dan's window on Cleveland Street. London, UK.

"This is the view down Cleveland Street in London at 8am this morning. The building on the left has 24 cable TV studios in it: taxi's come to collect the stars of late night quiz shows at 3am in the morning, and leave their car engines running whislt they wait. It makes my windows vibrate loudly, and me curse quietly!"

"Love this blog, it's great to see the many different views you can wake up to and it's a nice gentle reminder that there's always a different perspective - only wish I could add a more interesting view!"

KENT'S VIEW The view from Kent's work window in Sydney, Australia.

"Just got the windows cleaned so I took a pic out of them!"
