This Facebook Group Has People Sharing The View From Their Window, Here Are 132 Of The Most Interesting Pics
Ever since the dawn of art, painters were mesmerized by the idea of gazing at the view from one’s window. Salvador Dali's famous painting called “Young Woman at a Window” from 1925, which shows a woman looking at the bay of Cadaqués, is one of the examples.
The Facebook group “View From Your Window” takes this concept further and invites people to share pictures of things they see either through their camera lens or an actual window.
“View from YOUR window was created in August 2020 when we were all in Covid lockdown. I (Marian Viljoen - founder) had a fabulous view over the Indian Ocean and Mtamvuna River Valley at Port Edward, South Africa,” the group’s description says.
Initially, the group was created with the creator’s family and friends in mind in order “to encourage them to look outside their own 4 walls and see the beauty around them” but has since grown immensely and become a strong community stretching through all the corners of the world.
Below we wrapped up some of the most interesting and inspiring views people saw through their windows and shared with others.

#46 This Is The View From Our Living Room In Kaiwaka, New Zealand
I was a young divorcee at 35 years of age and searched everywhere for a place to call my own, when I actually dreamed of this view one morning and walked into the house two days later. Back then I had to drive two hours to the international airport about once a week to work as a long haul flight attendant. Then after three or four or five days away, I drove the two hours to get home to the country where I could be on my own in the peace and the quiet. My two cats would always be waiting for me on the top of the driveway no matter what hours I came home. Over time, I learned to love my solitude and to love me exactly as I am.

In Greece we have almost 9 months of summer. it is wonderful to leave the house and go for a swim in the sea across the street (And since we are having so many questions under the picture about 'what is that dead animal that is hanging on the balcony' we have to clarify that it's just a little Santa Claus, facing the sea, as a part of the Christmas decoration, since the picture was taken in the Christmas season )

Across the street is an old firehouse from 1912, now a private home. The owner of that also owns the old mansion that I rent an apt in from 1903. She owns many homes in the area, but has an attention to detail and history like I do. Enjoy, I am glad to be a new part of this group, the idea of seeing people’s views from all over excites me!
