View from our windows

It's a bit gloomy here in the winter, lots of overcast days.  So when the sun breaks through its a great thing! (The downside is that when the clouds clear, the temperatures drop considerably.  UV comes through the clouds, but gets trapped under the cloud cover and keeps things slightly warmer.  Clear sky = cold).   I took advantage of the sunny afternoon to take some pictures out of our apartment windows.  Our apartment is centrally located in the city.  The region is hilly and we sit at the top of a hill looking North (being in the top apartment provides additional elevation). This is the view out of bedroom windows.



This is the view from our living room windows - facing South.  You can see our bus stop directly across the street to the right side of the photo. (sorry for the reflection - consequence of the sunny day!)


Although we have quite a few buses that travel up and down the street, they are pretty quiet (electric powered).  I expect when the weather warms up and we open the windows, we will notice the traffic more. -Carolyn
