It's 4:50 PM in Philadelphia -- there's an absolutely magnificient sunset out my window, pink skies and streaky mauve clouds -- I'm on the 30th floor and I get to see the best of the town -- boathouse row (no rowing teams out right now) and the Museum of Art where Rocky jogged up the steps. Like Paris, thee are 8 bridges over the Schykuil River and the water is glistening -- lots of traffic moving on I-76. It's so peaceful up here, soon I'll be in the midst of stress driving home to New Jersey.

Hi! I'm sitting in my home in Dallas GA. Looking out my backyard and into the woods thats a continuation. It's peasceful compared to my working atmosphere, which though it changes daily is still noisy. As I write and have read some of the other posting, I'm really glad that snow is a rare word in my vocabularly. The woods are peaceful and the leaves are bare until spring and I like it. alan

Now I see the neighbor's Christmas lights and my own straggly Palm tree. Earlier at work I could look out at <BR>A. another high rise condo going up and <BR>B. a beautiful fairy sculpture in front of the threatre where I work - in warm, sunny Sarasota, Florida (uh oh, the F word)

Frank

<BR>I live on the 3rd (top) floor of an apartment complex on Seawall Blvd. on Galveston Island in Texas. Out my window to the right I can see water (the Gulf of Mexico) and to the left there's a Walmart. In front of the Walmart they're putting up a new Walmart gas station and I'm tired of hearing the noise from the construction. I can also see all the Christmas lights I strung up on my balcony. It is unusually cold here right now; definitely NOT a night for taking a stroll on the seawall. Merry Christmas Everyone!

Well, if you'd have asked me a week ago, I could have said palm trees, green grass, sunshine and a pina colada in my hand (Florida Keys!) Today, as I look out my porch window, all I see is about 20 inches of snow and icicles hanging off the Christmas lights! It's COLD and miserable here in Chicago, especially after a week spent in 75 degrees and warm sunshine. Oh well, such is life...

Kris

I am sitting in my study viewing Thumb Butte from my home overlooking Arizona's Christmas City. Merry Christmas!

Danna

Great Idea! <BR> <BR>Outside my window it's -10 degrees f. don't know the c. measure ... kinda cold. Snow, cold, pine and birch trees, about 1 foot of snow on the ground. <BR> <BR>In Short. Perfect!

Greetings from the southern hemisphere, where we are enjoying(?) the heat of summer. I'm on level 21 of an office block in York Street, Sydney. I have a lovely view of Darling Harbour, Balmain and the city towards the west. There are lots of boats out in the harbour and the lovely old "Batavia" is moored at the Maritime Museum. In the far distance I can see the Blue Mountains. Today its a bit hazy as the mercury hits about 38 degrees centigrade, which is about 100 in the old scale.

Pierrette

I'm in a condo on the intracoastal in Deerfield Beach. It is 10 p.m. and the palm trees are decorated with white sparkly lights. I can see the odd yatch heading home. I'm here and happy to be for 4 months but just for Christmas I wish I were going home to snowy cold Ottawa.

Lori

A few buildings along Hayarkon and the Mediteranian Sea. Beauty and calming sea waters-- despite the noises of the city and the infitada that continues in other areas of the country....

John

Have been steadily working late into the night up here on the 30th floor in Century City, CA. Earlier in the evening I witnessed a marvelous sunset overlooking the ocean, the beautiful mountains and Beverly Hills. Right now, all I can see are the amazing twinkling lights of the city! (Hello to Cindy in Bethesda! I'm a graduate of Walt Whitman High School in said suburb!)

I can see California. Ok so that's the name of a housing scheme in Falkirk but it's the best I can do. Clouds cover half the sky, almost as if it has ripped open. It stopped raining about 4am and so now it's clear but still very damp and green. And very cold.

Paige

I'm in an office building out in the country near Munich. My office windows look into a little courtyard with a bench and semi-dead plants. If I go to the top floor of our building I can usually see the Bavarian Alps to the south.

Christine

I am surrounded by the Swiss Alps just South of Lucerne. Out of my home office window I can see the Buochserhorn, out of the livingroom window Stanserhorn and the Brisen and the mountains surrounding Engelberg, out the bathroom window is Mt. Pilatus. It's actually quite warm here, not much snow on the mountains yet.

I live in a small town in Missouri and my home office has window views to the east, south and west. Today I am watching a beautiful and very heavy snowfall. We already have about 14". School has been called off for the third day - I am so glad that my youngest child is now 16. (All of those wet dripping snowsuits!!) The Christmas lights are on and the fire in the family room is so cozy. From each window I only see forest and snow, the birds aren't even out yet. To the south I can barely see my neighbors Christmas lights. Beautiful! jwg

Bobbie

Sitting in my office in Kansas City, Missouri, USA watching the snow fall. We are at 5 inches now and it is still falling. Very pretty to look at but no fun to drive in. Makes me do a lot of island dreaming.

Jody

Looking through this Iowa farm house's wall o' windows I see two bikes that didn't make it into the garage before the 6 inches of snow fell. Beyond that, 200 acres of snow-covered corn field and a tractor with a snow blower attached. With our trip to London and Paris drawing nearer, 35 degrees and rainy sounds down right balmy!

Robyn

I'm sitting on the 15th floor of the Harbour Centre building, downtown Vancouver, BC, Canada. It's 8:45am. The sun's just peaking over the Cascades, and Mount Baker in Washington state is clearly visible, as are the rest of the mountain chain. I look directly down to the old part of downtown, known as Gastown. From my window I can also see Science World, BC Place, GM Place, city hall, Vancouver General hospital, and the old Woodwards building with the W on top of it. I can also see as far (locally) as the suburb city of Burnaby. <BR>My view also lets me see into the train/cargo/industrial docking areas, the north shore mountains and Burrard inlet. I really can't complain!
