Your view from your sitting room!

What can you see when you are sat in your sitting room/lounge/living room (whatever you call it)
All I can see is trees, beautiful autumn colours and sometimes the sky goes that lovely pink colour when the sun comes up.
We have only lived here a short while and I love it (we do live on a main road but I can't see that from where I sit). All I could see from my other house were other people's houses and I didn't realise at the time how much it bothered me, we lived there for a long time and I can't believe I didn't realise it was part of the reason I wasn't happy!
What can you see and do you like it or does it bother you?

My living room looks out to the street. I live in a terraced house in London. I do have a lovely tree in front with berries on it and autumn colour. But mostly it's the houses across the street. I have shutters on the lower half for privacy. But that's my evening room. During the day I usually sit at the back of the house at the dining table or an armchair there. I have a wall of glass looking out to my garden.
While views are great I wouldn't trade living in London for them (though overlooking the Thames would be lovely)!

The village at the bottom of the hill, the Irish Sea and the coast of NI.

A row of terraced houses. A bit of sky. My back garden.

Front window - front garden. Flower beds at front, wooden steps up to garden. Apple tree in middle and shrubs all round. Can't see beyond that. Not because the garden is big, it's tiny, but because the shrubs are tall.

Back window - back garden. We had the pool taken out this summer so there's rocks and earth and stuff in that hole that has to settle so we can compact it down and have grass put down. It looks a bloody mess. Theres 2 trough planters and 2 barrel planters that i put wildflower seeds in this spring but totally failed to manage in any way so they look a bugger too. Then the high drystone wall that I fear is only being held up by the ivy covering it.

My home is in rural France.
From the patio doors we have a terrace and swimming pool. At the bottom of the garden are trees and in winter we can see the fields behind.
At dusk we often see deer in the field.
We can hear owls at night.
Once coming home one evening we saw a wild boar on the lane.
At weekends from September to February we can hear the guns and the dogs from the Chasse out hunting.
Very busy atm getting their Christmas venison and boar.

Now it's dark I can't see anything out of the front window.
If I look out of the back I can see my little yard strewn with fairy lights and a few bigger solar lights. Looks so pretty!

Main road complete with double decker buses 😂

Daytime - trees, more trees, loads of autumn leaves and various roofs of slate, pantile and thatch.

Evening - The moon and stars. No street lights here
