The View From My Stamp Room Window

Looks lovely and peaceful Dianne,
Is that a "Mannequin Pis" the little pee pee boy
we see in the centre distance?

Thanks Rod
It is very peaceful here. That isn't pee pee boy boy I do have one he is in another garden.

Non stamp related question Dianne,
what would you spend on heating in an average year? any idea?
I am wondering if your energy costs are similar
to Australia.

Bump!

A beautiful evening here today (at last - after all the rain). The sky's gone red since I took this, but it's gorgeous

This is just to reassure myself that winter does not last forever despite the fact that it is -18, snowing lightly, and the driveway needs to be shovelled again.

January 6, 2011, sunrise from the front door at about 0900.





January 6, 2011, missed sunset so took a picture from the back door at about 1700 hours.





Wildlife emerging. This was mid-May 2010 and just outside city limits. Admittedly rare to find a grizzly this close to the city but it was too interested in grazing on dandelion roots to pay any attention to us (in the car - with the windows closed). About 25 feet away at this point.





And finally, my reminder that spring and summer do exist. June, 2010, looking in at the stamp room - window to the right of the front door.





Great to see all your pictures - As good as a cruise (almost)

It is dark right now, so taking a picture out my living room window won't help much. Til I get one in the light would you settle for a picture up the driveway toward the house, taken this fall by a neighbor?



out the side of the house at sunset



and from my stamp room window (which is one end of the living room)

Some nice sites from all over. Here is a picture out my window this dull morning near the east coast of Canada.



However last May I came home from work to see this, looking at the same place! Planes dropping chemical on a brush fire.




A few more months now and we will be rid of the snow and back to fire season again.

Nice pictures on this thread lately! Even a grizzly bear!

Our house is set up a little strange inside. My computer is in my sister's old room along with things like my books, clothes, etc. My bedroom is TINY, but my regular desk and stamp/ephemera collections are in there. My VHS tapes take up a huge amount of room.

Soooo, the stamps see this all day:


The computer sees this all day:

AND this


Not very impressive thanks to the lack of leaves right now and the screens!

Look like a nice quiet neighbourhood to me. Nothing out there to disturb you from your stamps. Enjoy your hobby. Daniel

I've enjoyed this topic immensely! Here's a few photos from my hometown Portland, Oregon.

My home is a small, 2 bedroom house tucked into a neighborhood that borders two interstate freeways ... one is 2 blocks to the East, the other 5 blocks to the North. Traffic is messy and noisy.

This is a view out my front door during rush hour




Picture 2:

No windows in my stamproom! I use a corner in my basement. It's so incredibly quiet that I actually feel I'm outside of the city! I have my PC to the right of my stamp corner and a hi-def TV hanging on the wall behind me. Very comfy :)






Picture 3: This is what my city looks like when you live on the "right side of town" :)






Picture 4: This is the house I grew up in. My brother and I were cleaning up and stealing my mother's rose bushes after she passed away and we had to sell her house.






Picture 5: This is me preparing to load my race car. Unfortunately, I have more than one expensive hobby :)

Too funny
(looks like a good place to start business as a dentist)

Lovely pics, thanks for posting,
the floating snow covered mountain is spectacular.



My Town
not exactly from my window, but just out of town
a hill of 500m where I practice my hill climbs.
Nearest town to mine is 47Km away.

As Tony mentioned, anything so remote in Oz is referred to
as "woop woop"

...or Upper Kumbukta West

Beautiful though, isn't it?

OK so let's see the car, I spied the Ranchero in the house picture.Maybe a 428 CJ in a Torino ?

"And they're racing at Managatang ..."
