Cubicle View

In this country, there are millions of people who spend their day at work in drab cubicles. I am one of those. Very few of us, however, have the pleasure of enjoying a view such as the one that I have from the windows next to me.

I work in a very new building which sits right on the edge of the bay. The group I work in is fortunate enough to be on the third (top) floor, right in front of a row of large floor-to-ceiling windows.

This is not something I take for granted. Every day that I come in to work, I marvel at the amazing sights that I have before me. There are tons of water birds everywhere, and even seals and otters, which I've spotted several times from my desk but have been unable to get a good picture of.

Even when the weather turns dark and cold, the view is magnificent. I took this shot yesterday, three feet from my desk. One day soon, I'll post a panoramic shot, as this one is just a small part of the total view that I have.

Lucky me.

  2. And that's the funny twist that life throws at us. I would LOVE to sit at my desk and be able to watch a koala sleeping all day. Not that I wouldn't miss my current view...

  3. I just have a view of the city, which sometimes looks magical when theres a storm or at sunset.
    I would love to have a view of nature. Instead I have pictures of family, friends and animals all over my desk
