A picture is worth 1000 words.

Awesome view Stan. You can easily run over to the park and pick up some sweet genuine sunglasses and watches from all the trusted sellers over there.

I overlook the Chrysler building. We are in the building right next to it so that is my view. I am working from home today but will snap a picture next week.

Three minutes ago from the 33rd floor at la Défense looking towards Paris (no camera at work, so, iPhone quality will have to do).

This is from my home office. You cannot see it too clearly but the cross at the top of the hill is at a church camp and is actually a Verizon Cell Tower.

My office window overlooks the rooftop pool of the neighboring building. You guys have no idea how many colleagues stroll into my office in the summer time pretending to talk to me! :-)

I always liked that group of buildings in your shot there. Nice view! Mine is of the neighboring brick building in the Bulfinch Triangle

Downtown New Orleans pre-Katrina. A generic suburban office park now. No windows inside the secure area where I am located.
