the view from here

Some shots, much to my disgust, have to be in colour.
This was the view from my humble abode this morning. I often wonder why we bother to pull the curtains.

[Taffy]

Wow -- that's your view? What a beautiful place you live!

[Rosie Kerr]

Stop pulling those curtains... they are not meant to be shut. Idyllic. I simply MUST stop paying for college and divert those funds for traveling. ;)

[Marnie]

Fan-bloody-tastic. Why pull the curtains??

[Jclaireyp]

Wow! That's some. Jew! How lucky... do you have neighbours?!

[Walks @ 7]

Living in the protective aura of such a mountain is a gift, open the curtains more often if to only make the rest of us jealous.

[Graeme Stevens]

@joysabin It is a gift but it's far too pretty ;)
@jclaireyp It is and we do...but only two and both on the side of the house that has no view
@golftragic It's such an eyesore ;)
@rosiekerr Why educate yourself when you can travel far and wide... ;)
@taffy It is our view...horrific

[Dixie Goode]

Your disgustingly colorful view is delightful to my eyes. Nice shot. Don't take that as an insult.

[Jclaireyp]

@graemestevens it seems I should have checked what my phone had done with my typing before posting!! I'm sure you knew it should have said view!!

[Marnie]

@graemestevens A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.

[Rachel]

I love your view.

[Dianne]

Pity to have to look out at this view! Perhaps you should just leave the curtains pulled, especially if it forces you to have colour in your images!

[Graeme Stevens]

@dide Every time I open the curtains I'm outraged ;)
@888rachel Bah humbug ;)
@jclaireyp I gathered as much ;))
@pandorasecho Good lord, outrageous ;)

[haskar]

Beautiful light. And color? Sometimes it happens ...

[Graeme Stevens]

@haskar It can't be helped...I think my camera may be broken...

[Carole G]

Beautiful lighting. I knew I should have gone to New Plymouth with my husband yesterday! Dammit!

[Clare Gadsby]

wowzer badowzer. what a place to live! i would hate it

[Graeme Stevens]

@pistache It's bloody awful >:/
@yorkshirekiwi That'll teach ya ;)

[sally agnew]

Gorgeous lighting :)

[julia]

Good grief a landscape.... poor thing fancy having to wake up to that every day ...

[john morley]

I imagine (much as I try not to) the view in to the Stevens abode may be as interesting as the view out.

[Graeme Stevens]

@jack4john Thousands have tried to catch a brief glimpse of my interior and failed miserably.
@julzmaioro It's horrifying
@hermann How dare you ;)

[Nicole Campbell]

Wow, that is a wonderful view to see in the morning

[John Brown]

move that bloody pylon its an eyesore.

[Sally Ings]

Quite an ethereal scene. A treat to be able to see this whenever you look outside!

[Dawn]

A lovely scene and yes its a pity about the pylon but they are part of our world

[Graeme Stevens]

@dawnee They are indeed...it also gives me a good vantage to see the invading forces from ;)
@salza It's horrifyingly upsetting
@hobgoblin It may be an eyesore but it does give me a good vantage to see any invading forces from...
@nicolecampbell It's horrible ;)

[Kas]

The light on the mountain peak - perfect. Day is dawning!

[Jane Pittenger]

Poor you to suffer in silence besieged by such beauty

[Richard Sayer]

Nice little hill you have there...

[Lisa Poland]

Wow. I'd definitely leave the curtains open. Beautiful view!

[Graeme Stevens]

@homeschoolmom I have to close them at some point...apparently seeing me getting dressed is an acquired taste
@vignouse It'll do for now...
@jgpittenger It's a constant trial
@wag864 And it was Friday...hoorah!

[Michelle Rose]

I think colour is best for this photograph.

[Delwyn Barnett]

I bet you look for that mountain everyday!

[Graeme Stevens]

@dkbarnett I'd be lying if I said I didn't ;)
@tanithrose Thank you very much :)

[Swillin' Billy Flynn]

I don't know how you can stand looking at that pink mountain top. I suspect that your curtains are almost permanently closed unless it is a very grey and overcast day. :)

[Call me Joe]

Breathtaking!!!!

[Graeme Stevens]

@joemuli It's certainly vomit-worthy ;)
@swillinbillyflynn I like to spend a lot of time blindfolded, but that's another story...

[Helen Jane]

Completely out of order. But rather good.

[Graeme Stevens]

@helenhall It's horrendous and should never have been allowed to happen

[Margo]

Hey!! Man. Jusy be thankfull for that amazing view. some folk can only see a blank wall across the road!!

[Annie D]

I feel for you - such a view - and in colour - horrific!

[Graeme Stevens]

@annied I have constant nightmares
@777margo That's out the other window ;)

[Julie Duncan]

Ew, revolting. Nah, I'm just jealous. ;)

[Graeme Stevens]

@juliedduncan It's awful...every day, day after day...sigh

[tony gig]

A grand view Graeme...

[Graeme Stevens]

@tonygig It's pretty horrific...

[Tabbycat]

I'm seriously thinking of moving to Wundy Willington ;-)

[Tabbycat]

PS: Lucky you got that ugly electricity tower in there, eh? ;-)

[Tracie Broadhead]

[Graeme Stevens]
