Default The view from my office window

Yes, I know we have a photo thread (sticky at the top of the NZ forum) but I thought perhaps we could do some beautiful / horrible / funny views from our windows.

So come on, without giving away your street address by accident, lets see the delights of NZ from your perspective.

Of course you can have a go...we had one in the Oz forum so I've already shown mine.

I think this will work

Out the back: http://britishexpats.com/forum/attac...4&d=1326368999

Out the front: http://britishexpats.com/forum/attac...3&d=1326368819

The second one was taken late one evening just as the sun came out after a very dark day. I am a crap photographer so the effect isn't very good.

As you can see, it's centre of town!

That looks gorgeous, Sherlock. It looks quite remote. Yes, doesn't look like city life for sure

This is the view I get from my "workroom"... I'm retired so not sure I can call it an office hehe. I actually took the shot from our balcony but my workroom faces that direction so more-or-less correct.

The view from my office at Konstruct Clothing in Dunedin.

In the winter it's 5 football pitches and in summer it's Softball.

The sky looked a bit weird this morning. Is it because it's the end of the World tomorrow?
