Anthony's View in Green, Ohio, USA

From the second floor of the MAPS Air Museum hangar, a members-only area, you get a great view of what is commonly known, among members of the Military Aircraft Preservation Society, as "the boneyard."

Aircraft stored in "the boneyard", while awaiting restoration, include a C-47, T-28, F-101 Voodoo, Beech 18, F-105, F-11 Tiger and F-102.

Beyond "the boneyard" is the main operations area of the Akron Canton Airport and sitting on the runway, in the left hand portion of the photo, is a 747 owned by televangelist Ernest Angley.

Beki's View in Seattle, Washington, USA

From this window in my office you can see houses and apartments in the Queen Anne district of Seattle.

Queen Anne hill is one of the seven hills that made up Seattle (I kid you not, Google it and you will get a list of the seven hill names) If you look in the far lower right hand corner, you can see the tip of Lake Union.

If you're wondering what the black rectangle is in the lower left hand portion of the shot it's a sticky note. I am a sticky note aholic.

Sandeep's (Temporary) View in Chennai, India

When I woke up on fine morning, this is what I saw through the back window of my hostel room in Krirshna hostel at Indian Institute of Technology Madras, Chennai, India.

Lisa's View in Napa, California, USA

This view is from upstairs in my new-ish home on the most north-west street in Napa, California before the vineyards quilt the rest of the valley.

Daily the sunset is spectacular and before the sun comes up in the fall, you might be awoken by fans that keep the grapes warm warding off frost if it gets too cool pre-harvest.

This view requires my instant gratitude for ...well, everything.

Becca's (Temporary) View in Phoenix, Arizona, USA

I was at the National Speakers Association annual convention in Phoenix, Arizona at the beautiful JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort & Spa.

The view, from my hotel window, is a courtyard at the back of the property.

You can barely see part of the golf course behind the palm trees. The grounds of the resort were just huge and that's just a small part of it. This was a Monday afternoon with thunderstorms rolling in.

Lisa's (Temporary) View In Cancun, Mexico

This is a picture of the view outside my window at the Westin Lagunamar Ocean Resort in Cancun, Mexico. We are a family vacation celebrating the high school graduation of my son.

We are looking out at the main infinity pool which appears as if it pours out into the Caribbean Sea.

Wassan's (Temporary) View In Clearwater Florida, USA

This is a photo from our friends condo in Clearwater Florida.

It was pouring and pretty miserable, but soon it cleared up and we were greeted by beautiful sunshine and we were able to head down to the beach!

Beki's View In Seattle, Washington, USA

Standing at my desk and looking left, this is the Puget Sound and Elliot Bay.

The round building is the Westin Hotel. This and Southerly is pretty much the heart of downtown Seattle.

Steve and Yumiko's View In Plain Township, Ohio, USA

Our kitchen window faces the southwest, making the task of washing dishes more pleasant.

Our back yard has many trees but there is an open area in the middle of the yard that allows us to enjoy lingering sunsets. In the summer the lightning bugs provide even further entertainment.

Although we live in a developed area occasionally a deer will spend time feeding in the yard. In our neighborhood there are no fences separating properties making us feel like our yard is part of a park system.

Tyler's View In Dallas, Texas, USA

This image was taken the first day at a new job in December, 2007 from the 12th floor of the Lincoln Centre in North Dallas. Since that day I've never seen a more clear, blue sky from this view.

A neat tidbit: I've realized that the building directly across the highway reflects the ground and sky in a way that you can see the weather or sunlight changes right before they happen. Though, I've never been able to take a sunset picture that really does this justice.

Even though there is so much in this view, all I can recall about taking this picture that day was being amazed at how clear and true blue the sky was and how far I could see looking NW (towards DFW airport and Los Colinas).

The 'open' spaces between buildings are views of a lot of areas between Far North Dallas and DFW airport looking Northwest (including Addison, foreground, Carrolton, Plano, Richardson, possibly Coppell and Los Colinas). I'd almost say I would keep this job just to keep this office view!

Deb's View In Port Orange, Florida, USA

Here's a pic from my bedroom window. Our backyard bottoms out at the channel. This was a day or two after a heavy rain rain.

I love living here, it's so awesome to see all the wildlife.

There's a pair of hawks building a nest in a tree across the channel and a woodpecker who comes to a dead tree that we haven't removed yet. I hesitate now to take it away 'til she's done with it.

We also have a turtle who comes right before the tide starts to come in, a couple of Blue Herons, blue crabs and lizards galore
