16 floor! Hi Inge! The Sky. Sunrises + sunsets. Clouds. Incoming rain. Seagulls, crows, magpies, pigeons, blackbirds, and the occasional kestrel. Planes +helicopters. Rooftops, roof gardens, balconies, other flats in our neighbouring block. Cranes…

I see the blocks of flats and social housing at Grønland from my flat. One of them, in particular, is very ugly – a brick building with blue window frames and yellow and red ornaments. Red roof. I am not even sure if its social housing, but I think …

I see apartments. In the daytime its quiet but at night there is more activity. A bit less now. I love the dark winter when you can look into peoples houses. Birgitte. Oslo, Norway.

The view from the bedroom window Victoria. Hockley, UK

I see the leaves and the top of a large elm tree. Oslo, Norway.

The Church. The green trees and flowers. The sky. The hospital. The school. The football pitch. The playground. Isra. London, UK

Manuela. Bucharest, Romania

Jane. London, UK

Hi! I see Fredriksten fortress. I am proud of my views. I see Halden city centre, and even glimpses of the fjord. I see grand trees that are green in the spring and summertime. The colours in the autumn are beautiful until the leaves fall …

Southside: directly in front of me I see  a huge crane which is the central feature  of a building site. Just beyond is the clock tower of St.Anne’s church. Further to the  distant right I see the turrets and …

Dear Gabi, From my flat I can see other blocks with balconies full of flowers and clothes on a line, cars parked, children playing and parents who supervise them. Beatrice. Bucharest, Romania

Plenty of green space (for Bucharest standards) and blocks. Dan. Bucharest, Romania

We live next to a very busy road, not really a cosy view and there are quite a lot of empty homes for sale, but it is close to the centre of town. Anne. Tongeren, Belgium

At the back the former YCA – now sold as more expensive flats …. A pub, some street life on Goswell Road, Fann Street wildlife park… From front balcony -other flats + tower beech gardens on the podium level –&…

I can see the green courtyard. Divided into small gardens for each of the houses. In the small blue house there is a dancing school and in the yellow brick house there is a printing factory. In the horizon I can see the city’s towers - not skyscrape…

They stand in the corners ever watchful, protecting the - more recently - empty streets. There appears to be a headless guardian, headless possibly from some wind battles lost not long ago. A proud outlet building and a hotel who's seen fairer weath…

From my flat I can see other flats also a school playground and the trees on it. There are no major roads, which is fantastic. I can also see part of a football stadium but I can say that I do not miss the noise of a football match at all. Teresa. L…

Taking into consideration that I have all the windows facing the street, I see plenty of cars that drive at an outrageous pace, but I also have a few trees in front of the block which reduce somehow the pollution. Smaranda. Bucharest, Romania

We see our backyard from our home in summer time it feels always like holidays. Lin. Tongeren, Belgium.

I am in the living room, the photos of my grandchildren are on the sideboard. My laptop is on my left, I have received many e-mails and have no time to read them. I have put the air conditioner on 18°C, it is very hot. There are 32°C degrees outside…

I have an entire world before me when I look outside. The city with high rise buildings, Hotel Plaza and the post-building. I have city blocks, many roofs and some Oslo-fjord. Lots of green, Botanical garden, Holmenkollen, today white, covered in sn…

I feel like I can see ‘everything’ from my flat. It is bright and lovely: the sea (the Oslo Fjord), the islands, Oslo Plaza, the Government Quarter 22. July still covered in white, the people along Grønlandsleiret. Randi. Oslo, Norway

Depending on where I sit, I either see empty buildings and the sky or empty streets. The two generic office buildings which frame my view to the west were once inhabited. We used to feel overlooked before we had curtain…

I see the leaves and the top of a large elm tree. Kirsten. Oslo, Norway

Eszter. London, UK

It depends where I am standing in my flat.. From my flat, the parking lot of the block is dominant. In the winter, I have got some view to the city, but in the summer it is lush and I see large, green trees. Ida. Halden, Norway

From the flat one can see the C.S. Olimpia sports’ facility. Iulian. Bucharest, Romania

it's my neighbours house across our house the photo is taken from our study , today he is selling a bicycle from his son the son has several bikes . In our village people often sell things just by putting them in front of their house with a for sale…

A leak in my roof! Ceiling was soaked so had to come down. We need a new roof but no funds! Jane. Hockley, UK.

When I look down to the street from my flat I see an empty street market. Because of the pandemic everything is gone except a couple of fruit +veg stalls and dairy stall selling milk + butter etc. Usually it is full of street food stalls and is very…

Julia. London, UK

I used to be able to see the entire Oslo, the fjord and the great sky. Now I only see a lumpy concrete-box, called ”the barcode”, but I can still see the sky. Steffen. Oslo, Norway
