Question QOTW: What can you see?

Right this weeks question of the week is actually a few questions:

How many people can you see right now?

What can you see from the window nearest you?

Can you see anything unusual that others may not be able to see?

3 people,

The Parking lot of our building, a few trees and the building next door

Sadly, I can't see Guru's boss
I'm currently looking at bare plasterboard walls as they've stripped all the wallpaper off our office walls ( I assume they plan to repaper it in the near future???)

To err is human. To ARRR is pirate.

I can see no people, but one rather mad kitten.

I can see our back garden with sparrows and pigeons queueing up for the bird feeder. They always eat more when it is raining!

I can see 7 people in this office, and out of the window opposite I can look into another office building and see another office - not an inspiring view, particularly as the view opposite is seen through streaming rain!

I can see 7 people

Out of the window I can see other office buildings and a tree that is being thrashed by very strong winds

I can see my reflection in the monitor, my mates tell me that Im very unusual

I cant see anybody else at the minute, Jack the MaCat keeps walking in every so often to meow at me. I have to stop what ever Im doing to stroke him.

I cant see much as it is dark, I can just see the red lights of the Winter Hill transmitter in the distance. I think is about 15 miles away.

I can see my F1 prints and signed pictures that MadCat got for me. The have pride of place in our office

It would be hard to count because I work in a call centre. 16 not including all the people walking around constantly.

I'm sitting by the wondow and can see the car park and a very rainy day

Lots of people running through the rain who don't have umbrellas. A newspaper is not going to keep you dry.

Any connection between your reality and mine is completly coincidental
