Sod your work bench, what can you see from your window!

[nctnico]

I think I can see Auckland's sky tower in the top picture or am I wrong?

Quite correct.

@tautech

Still keeping an eye out I see for that package I sent a few months back via the "favourable winds service", tide charts indicate that it's doing laps around Bass Strait so you should continue to hang about for a strong westerly.

Quality takes time and I take longer.

Oh, check out https://www.zeemaps.com
Allows groups to create maps with custom location markers.
For instance here's one https://www.zeemaps.com/map?group=1262583#
for fans of the SSSS online comic http://www.sssscomic.com/

Maybe start one for eeevblog members? You don't have to mark your exact location, just vicinity.

Dave this might be real interesting, the distribution of members around the globe.

From a window...

The front window. Typical Autumn scene in the deciduous forest of Eastern North America. Two nights ago we had a hard freeze which accelerated the leaf drop.   



The side window. Those are American Goldfinches in their dull Winter plumage.



In March the male goldfinches will molt into their breeding plumage...

Med, I'm jealous.  I am from NJ originally and now living in Flori-DUH.  I miss the changing of the seasons.  I do, however, get the benefit of the big oak tree in the front yard shedding all the leaves but without the beautiful colors.

Where in Jersey you originally from? I'm 75 miles (120 km) north of NYC in the Hudson Valley.

The view from my home office/lab during a winter storm last year:

Today dust from the Sahara swept up by hurricane Ophelia has cast an orange glow over the country and turned the sun into an orange ball you can look at directly:

It is not cloudy but it is all dust in the upper atmosphere. BTW yesterday we had a nice summer day due to hurricane Ophelia pushing warm air towards us. The Irish are less pleased though

As some regulars may be aware, I moved a month or so ago. This was meant to be the view from my home office/lab/man-cave. After some discussion, somewhat inevitably she executed a land grab, and re-occupied the space for the dining room, with a <1% occupancy.



So while she was away a week or so ago, I moved all my sh!t into her walk-in wardrobe, which now has a >90% occupancy, but a lot more shelving than I was going to offer had it been used as a clothing repository.

Are you sure it's in the Netherlands?

This used to be my office.
At least a I had an emergency escape door out of the basement.

At least you won "musical chairs".

[capt bullshot]

My work place (open space office) is in the basement.
Behind me are some cabinets used to divide the space. In my front (behind the monitors) a view onto some colleagues desks.
To the right, a half height movable  wall used to divide the space.
To the left, yes, there's a indeed a window. It offers a nice view to a corridor inside the building , sometimes people are walking there. And in the middle of the view the entrance door to the toilets.
On my head a noise cancelling headphone. Just need to mount some blinders to the noise cancelling headphones.

Isn't prison chic the standard for engineering environments?

it's so amazing to see how sunny in the golden billion countries

Not my lab window but, walking a few steps, I saw this on a very cold morning a few years ago.

Yeah, but OTOH it's getting warmer and warmer these days. So enjoy your time in Antarctica while people in other parts of the world will start melting.
