![]() ![]() Like we're reaching back into our past to recall some event that plays out like a movie in our mind. There's something about these videos that feel like a memory. It almost looks staged, like we're glimpsing something created on a Hollywood backlot – but of course, it's all real. The lighting bounces off the hazy snow drifting down as people on the street pass. Definitely sounds like COVID times.This video has the cameraperson walking through New York City during a light snowstorm. Guillaume Baley's Paris window's audio is haunting. ![]() After seeing so many of Singapore, I'm starting to be intrigued by the idea of visiting there someday. I feel kind of instinctually drawn to so many of the German views, with such dense greenery and gardens and ponds I have ancestors from there, so maybe that makes sense.Īfter seeing Nomadic Ambience's view of Monterrey, Mexico, I'm starting to wonder if they did Remote Year or something. I wish I could experience the scent of the rain on the wind from Aditi and Marc's window in Zushi, Japan. So many of these are so beautiful: Arnulf's window on Bavaria, Germany Pest Brand's window on Haar, Germany Beate Schröder-Wettwer's window on Lüneberg, Germany Lina Blau's window on Aeschiried, Switzerland Kevin Arffandy's afternoon light from windows in Tangerang Selatan, Indonesia Sitara Menon's window on Gurgaon, India Simone Tengattini's window on Villongo, Italy Rexina Devraj's place in Bangalore, India Sitara Hussain's porch or balcony on Chennai, India. For city views with greenery, I like ones such as Dayanara Viojan's view of Shanghai, China, or Polen Hinojosa's view of Mexico City, Mexico. Of course, I live in Astoria right now, but with a bit more greenery in my view than, say, Nomadic Ambience's New York City window. The cloudiness and denseness of the UK cities would start to get me too, I think (though I like Simon Cotts' London cacti and Derek Lui's succulents). I don't think I could deal with Stockholm, Sweden there's something about every view of the town that gets to me. Joey Hwang's window in Rowville, Australia, looks just like L.A. I'm wondering if it was supposed to be Long Island City. I'm a little unclear where on Long Island you can get the view that Fernando Mattei has. Manasa Prithvi's dogs and porch or balcony in Bangalore, India, are also quite nice. That and Nomadic Ambience's window (I think it was) in Montreal got my cats super excited, looking for the source of all the birdies. Ha, I know exactly where Scott Rubin's window in Astoria is. I've kept a list of all the countries I've seen so far-at last count it was around 180 out of 195. I saved and shared a picture of rainbow lorikeets from Australia because I loved them so much and all one of my Australian friends said was "OMG they're so loud." I love the casualness of people who can post "oh, here's my backyard with my laundry on the line and THE ACROPOLIS" or "here's a big tree in my yard and THE PYRAMIDS." Animals are often similar-the folks in Australia who see kangaroos and the folks in African countries who see giraffes. I thought about my own little sparrow colony in the backyard and got choked up at the sense of connection. Someone asked in the comments what lived there and the OP said, usually little gray sparrows. On one of the first days I looked at it, I saw a view from a window in Nigeria that included a birdhouse. I cannot say how much it has meant to me. This is a non-Facebook (and possibly less pandemic-related) variant of a group I've been following on FB since mid-April. ![]()
