A room with a view

Many of us spend countless hours in front of a desk at work, school or home. We want to see your view! We're calling upon all of you to snap a picture of your view from where you are and share it with us. We will update this blog post with pictures as they keep coming in. All you have to do is snap a picture and upload it to My Opera. If you share the link with us (as a comment below) we will feature your entry. cool

Your view might not be so inspiring for you - but it might inspire someone else!

To get things started, we've taken two pictures of the view outside Opera HQ today:

Nice dumpster view from the office of Espen and Aleksander.

Minus 5 degrees, grey and slushy snow outside of Opera HQ's PR department. Please note the sub-street level balcony to the right. Location, location, location.

This is the view from community member Zahek's desk! yes

Kent E. Olsson posted this view of his workplace! cool

A view from my home (somewhere in the western part of north-eastern Poland):
- yesterday's evening: http://files.myopera.com/Saskatchewan/album/windowview1_800x600.jpg
- today's morning: http://files.myopera.com/Saskatchewan/album/windowview2_800x600.jpg

No, I didn't switch them wink. I thought, today will be a sunny morning, like yesterday and the day before yesterday... But it wasn't.
It looks almost like a greyscale picture, although there are more colours in reality p. I took the photo from behind the window and using my laptop, so it may be the cause sherlock.
