Anyone who reads this blog regularly probably knows I work a lot. My last day off was January 1st and there is not a day off anywhere on the horizon. I'm a little lucky - I work 11 hour days. Many of my friends and co-workers work 12 hour days. These long days working make the view from the work window even more important . . . I know there are better office window views, but I still see enough from mine to feed my dreams through long days of paperwork. Above, the summit of Mount Newhall is visible above the meal plant, and my mind wanders back to summer days climbing the slopes and the view from the top.
There are almost always eagles visible from my window, often in huge numbers. Sometimes I can see as many as 60 eagles from my desk, and without fail they steal money from the company in lost productivity as I sit for a moment and watch their antics. Sometimes they will fly through the narrow alleys of the plant just 5 or 6 feet off the ground and I am always reminded of that scene from Star Wars where Luke is attacking the Death Star. Okay, that didn't come across quite right, that would make work a Death Star . . . . but you get my drift . . . 
This is the view straight out my window where I can see a slice of the East Channel with the Coastal Dock and Strawberry Hill in the background.
And finally, my co-worker and partner in crime Deil who shares the desk next to mine, smiling last week from the sheer joy of the nice weather. These were all taken on the same day so you can see the snow levels vary greatly depending on altitude. It will be many months before the snow is gone completely from the top of Mount Newhall.Cheers, I'm going to watch a bit of the olympics coverage . . .

You never cease to amaze me how you can take a perfectly ordinary scene and turn it in a piece of art. The first photograph is incredible in its framing and the parallels present. I took a class once in street photography and while the luck of the elements present at the time is always an aspect, what you decide to include and the precise moment you shoot is the talent of the photographer.
By the way, research shows those short "mini-breaks" actually improve your productivity.
Morning Steve,
Well, your views from your desk are definitely more heavenily than mine; although, I am very lucky to have an office with a huge window. Mine overlooks an elementary school, high school, comunity school and lots of land. I often get to see the storms roll in from either the Gulf of Mexico or the afternoon inland stormes. I don't think I could work without one. Have a wonderful day!
