Looking for city views?
Here was the view for the past 7 years, but escaped a month or so back...
A bit noisy what with BLM and Extinction Rebellion marches, weekend rallies inc. ponies and Harley's, and pretty constant sirens and helicopters. Somewhere I hav a picture of c10 riot vans outside the living room window, while trying to do my usual day of Zoom calls. Quite distracting when early lockdown led to a very peaceful city.
Although we did get some nice sunsets out of the back.
Shame the weather isn't always like this

Incredible view from bedroom window in London/Kingston (depends on your level of anal-ness) flat. Bet you are all jealous.....

From the bed. Noisy offspring not pictured.
Close up / out there.

Stephenson's Rocket used to run past here up to Tindale.
The first train in the world, past my house!
Usually visible from this window: Swaledale sheep (lots and lots), pheasants, hares, curlews, lapwings, (RSPB Geltsdale) barn owl, the odd sparrow hawk and Ayreshires.
Same view near enough from the other 3 sides.

and this is the reason I put winter tyres on in November and take them off in March
This is the road up to our house, AONB North Pennines to the left.
Seeing a lot of the views here - it brings home how conducive to wellbeing, a great view is - from your house or locale .......
Literally out my front window! The mountain just visible in the distance is about 15 miles away. We see it clearly on a clear day
But we’ve decided to move back into town, so it’ll be someone’s to enjoy
I'm taking the scenic route for my Sunday lunchtime sup tomorrow, so along the way my views will be . . .
Down the bank and through the arch at Kepier Hospital
Along by the Wear until I get here
Over Prebend's Bridge
Nip through Palace Green
Arriving at this view, from whence my view will become increasingly blurred ;-)

Fortunate to have a decent sized garden in south east London which is backed onto by bungalows so no over looking neighbours…
Plenty of greenery, two lakes and a park within 30 second walk…
Best of both worlds!

I was somehow expecting a Himalayan vista

It’s an old pic from Feb but this pic doesn’t capture it but I live in North London on green belt land - my gardens backs on to fields. Lovely part of UK for me. Come out and go right and I’m in London as you know it and 45 minutes into central London on the tube or I go left and it’s farm land , and golf courses and fields that makes you feel you’re a million miles from London.

Eaux-vives?
You were a neighbour of my cousin (picture editor for the Rolex AD mag)…. If you craned your neck from her flat you could see the jet d’eau…. Lovely spot…. Recently opened a new train station and (after having crashed at hers) I was at work in Rolle in less than 30 mins…. A beautiful park nearby and smack bang in the heart of an underrated city… Other than Leicester it’s the city I know best on the planet…

Eaux-Vives with Mont Blanc behind in the photo. Our place was in Le Bouchet, it was a lovely walk down the hill into the city and ten minutes stroll from work. I could even walk to the airport if I was lightly loaded. Love Geneva, it has a bit of everything.
The weather conditions made the outlook from the balcony always interesting and often stunning. We would sometimes make an impromptu visit to Chamonix after looking across the city first thing.

As another city dweller there is not much to look at outside my front room window, (we all know what a Costa Coffee and tube station looks like) and the garden doesn’t exactly have great views either
I am fortunate to have some great views at other homes though.

Looking out out of the back of the house, winter and summer. Walking the dogs in the fields opposite the house and heading off to work last time we had snow.
Cheers

Ah!! I was the wrong side of the lake!
What a great picture!
I know Servette quite well…. One cousin lived on Rue du Jura and the other on the street next to the Placette store (now Manor)
Yeah…. It’s a great town…. Spent many weeks there as a young man as everyone I knew lived in posh student squats and had illegal (but nobody cared) bars attached to them…. Some big parties!
Loved mooching round the big puces too! There was a really nice watch watch stand…
I still go back often and always enjoy it…. Last time was just before lock down…

Being glass is half full, yes the living space is small but this is the Google Maps 'view' and in terms of having recreational and shopping facilities, access to stunning river walks and 2 of the best parks in the UK things aren't too shabby.
