It's always interesting what people ask about. A few of you have emailed us to ask what kind of view we have from the apartment balcony at night.
So here you go.
Here it is when we face toward downtown Houston...
And here is the other direction, away from the heart of downtown Houston...
It's definitely pretty. We love seeing the buildings lit up at night. It's cool to see during the day but at night, , well all the lights of the office buildings just sparkle like the facets on a diamond.
What a beautiful view! You have a front row seat to these awesome night time sparkles just outside your door!
ReplyDeleteIt really is pretty, it's nice to have this and the rural nature of the farm. Of course once we are out there, we will have to give up this view so for now, we enjoy it when we can. A glass of wine sitting on the balcony at night is pretty nice.
DeleteThat is pretty. I could never live that high as I would be terrified.
ReplyDeleteLOL, we understand. the balcony is deep enough that sitting in the chairs is far enough away from the railing that you can't see down. So it's nice to look ahead and up. But yeah I don't like to look over the railing, ha.
DeleteBeautiful night time skyline.
ReplyDeleteToo high for me to step out on that deck. I would be apt to get dizzy and fall overboard. I do not like heights or going on bridges / roads that go over large bodies of water.
Have a wonderful evening and thanks 4 sharing your lovely photos.
I get that feeling, I can sit in the chair for a long time and it's fine. If I get to the railing I start to have a feeling that I'll just fall over, ha. Even though the railing is about chest high.
DeleteOMG ... I would hate living there ... too many buildings, too many people, too much of everything!
ReplyDeleteWhen I look out my 6th floor window, I see green pastures and trees, a range of mountains and mesas! I am in S. Colorado!
I ❤ my view!
LOL....we hear ya. It's not NYC so it's not too bad and most of the buildings are unoccupied at night since they are office buildings so there aren't many people at night. But we do enjoy the wide open views at the farm too. For now we have the best of both worlds ha.
DeleteWhat's the noise level out on your balcony? When we lived in MD in the high rise the view was splendid, but the noise level to loud.
ReplyDeleteNone at all. We'll hear an occasional siren if it's coming past the building but even that is muffled (from inside the apt). There are no freeways nearby, the roads are not major thruways, so it's not bad. EXCEPT when the Astros won the World Series, ha. But that's fun. People cheering, horns honking as the games let out, it was fun to be a part of. But in the end, sound have never bene an issue, thankfully.
DeleteWas going to email you a picture of what it looks like out our back door at night, quite a bit different. But, when I click on the "email me" block, it goes to a page that says that email to you does not exist, so, no pictures for you.
ReplyDeleteThank you for alerting us to that. I believe I have fixed it. Blogger had an update so I had to change the way the HTML worked. Try again, even if you don't send a picture, see if it opens an email. Thanks!!!
