Stars. I don't see them as much anymore as I did growing up.

My little town in the mountains is a Dark Sky community, which most people take pretty seriously. The Commerce people put up bright white streetlights on the less-than-a-mile-long main street last year and everyone's pissed about it.

WebView. But only if you configure your system to use Firefox for WebView globally.

I grew up near the mountains, and now I live near the sea.

I find myself missing the mountains, there aren't really any near here.

The sea has its perks though. It's influenced a lot by the weather, so it feels like it has its own character. If you're close enough, it has its own white noise too.

I've been through the prairies of Saskatchewan and let me tell you that view's a trip. They say if your dog gets out you have three days where you can watch him go before he's lost

Sea or lake view from the mountains. Even better if I can also have a view of a lake/seaside town on the shore.

Sea. Just endless peaceful sea until the horizon, gentle waves on a sparsely populated beach.

[–] cybervseas@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

I love the city skyline. Especially at night.

This is a tough one… I’m a sucker for a sea view at sunset, but have always been amazed by the rolling hills as well.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Mountains. But a view from within the mountain range. For all its issues, I love the nature/geography of the Salt Lake valley. Asheville is another example. You're surrounded by mountains on all sides. Versus somewhere like Denver, where the mountains are over there--you can see them, but you're not really directly amongst them.

A deciduous and evergreen forest that blankets a mountainside surrounding a glacial lake. My only stipulation is that there is not a single trace of human civilization in the scene, except of course for a single log cabin. Mine.

You'd have to add a NSFW tab.

[–] scytale@lemm.ee 3 points 3 days ago

I'm an urban person, so city view and skyline would be my preference.

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 2 points 2 days ago

Probably sea, but honestly I mostly just have blackout curtains everywhere because I'm a vampire.

Hippie Hollow? I suppose there are plenty of wrinkles to look at.

Fireflies in a meadow

Drone footage from 4KM away

(Does this count as a valid answer?)

If you mean from a house, I'd probably want to be in a small townhouse that's by a river and across the river to be a mountain.

Or in an apartment and have a city view from a building that is surrounded by smaller buildings (think of like from an NYC skyscraper looking down upon smaller buildings), and seeing flying cars everywheere (that uses green energy).

Edit: changed wording.

Nvm idk how to describe things... sorry for the word salad... 🤷‍♂️

Valley from a mountain side

birds eye view.

I want my house to be in the sky and rotated 90 degrees towards the earth

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 1 points 3 days ago

Jungle, rainforest, bush or forest in that order.

[–] TokenEffort@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago

City view, all the way up in the air on the top of the building. I'll know I made it when I wake up peacefully from a random nap on a penthouse terrace.
