How's the view where you live?

This is not exactly from my home, as my home is up in the mountains, but with a short 20 minutes drive I can get down to the lake and stare at the Capital of the province from there. Today there was wind and the lake was angry...

Downtown Jacksonville, about 10-15 minutes from my home, and. . .

the beach, about 45 minutes from my home, and. . .

preserved "canopy" roads, and

saltwater marshes.

Fairly nice views here!

Our house stands within our private land so we have lawns and flower beds at the front with a long driveway... Both sides we have just open countryside... And at the rear we have a huge patio area, more lawns and flower beds leading onto an orchard, open wildflower meadows and a fairy large copse.

On the downside though, we're about 25 to 30 miles from the nearest beach.

What's a copse?

[EmmaMary]

@Jamie05rhs

Definitions of copse. a dense growth of trees, shrubs, or bushes.

[Jamie05rhs]

@EmmaMary Oh!

[EmmaMary]

Thank you for the MHO.

I have a view of little houses in front and my forest in back. I'm.25 mile from the beach.

It can be very pretty sometimes! I occasionally notice when I'm driving around, like so:

Or so:

But I'm not really a nature person. I usually have to snap out of something to realize how pretty things are around me.

[Sun_Kim-Ai]

That's really impressive!

I like yours better! I love the harsh deep blue of the sea and the beautiful but almost foreboding nature of the mountains. Here I think everything is kind of "soft", fluffy clouds, fluffy soft-looking and mossy mountains, gentle seas, very soft. "Airbrushed". I like contrast and it's not high-contrast here. I love the idea of waves crashing on rocks more than gliding across the sands.

Sometimes I think I evaluate beauty on how much it's likely to kill me, so I find a polar bear more beautiful in this way than a chipmunk, and Mt. Everest more beautiful than Mount Tenpō (smallest mountain in the world). I have an attraction to things that can cause me the greatest harm. :-D

It's okay. We have lots of nice trees around our house but there are a lot of other houses nearby.

Here's a picture from a couple winter's back out of one of my windows:

... and here is the view from where I grew up.

[OfMiceandMen]

This is the view out my home office window. It is a summer shot and things are a little less leafy right now.

[Quackthulu2]

There is an alleyway outside my window where the trash truck just emptied the dumpsters… so not exactly a nice view.

[Agape93]

Rain and pine trees. Not much else right now

[Sun_Kim-Ai]

That's really beautiful and tranquil.
We too have pine forests, but then they turn into swamps.

[Agape93]

Agreed. Some of ours can but usually that's more of a southern issue

[Quackthulu2]

You lucky bitch lol.

[Agape93]

Lmao xD love you too

[NathanDavis]

I've got a nice seaside view as well... within a short 120 minutes drive

[LavLavLuv]

just buildings
