What do you look at all day when you're not staring at your screen?

I'll start...

I watch interesting pedestrians walking past my window all day.
It's the best form of people-watching--I don't even have to get up from
my seat to do it.

You can see the hotel directly from your window? That's cool.

P.S. The first image has an error. It doesn't display. But why do you display the same hotel three times?

And finally, when back at my parent's house and in the study, I get the much nicer view of my neighbours house...

The view from my room this year isn't that great. It's just
looking out at some tennis courts. The parking lot is off to the
right, but you can't see it.

It's been raining off and on all week, and its been very cloudy.
On clearer days you can see some really nice mountains in the distance.

It's a pretty good view of the guest house across from the garden. You can see the man w/bucket there...I pay him to scrape the algae from my fountain. You can also spot a vagrant or two- they're always coming around begging for crumbs of bread and whatnot.

Well, my window opens out to a blank wall... but there was one day of clear weather right after I moved in when it was actualy interesting to look at, so I took this picture:

In that case, can you loan me one trillion million dollars, Biological

Either of these links lead to the main site. The only image is of two beautiful children and I assume they are not yours since this thread is about the view outside your window.

I do however know exactly what El Paso looks like and, consider yourself lucky. It could look as bad as Amarillo or Barstow. :lol:

Yes, I can see that you live in a neighborhood infested with people who desire your access passwords :rofl:

and,
I am so thankful you posted those in thumbs. The file sizes are considerable. In fact, this whole thread is getting hard to view. Perhaps the thumb codes need to be employed guys??? (hint,hint)

Through my four years of college, I think I played tennis once.

Obviously, it's not my favorite passtime. I do go gawking at
girls at the swimming pool frequently. That was my hobby.
