The picture above comes from Alan Lee, who usually lives down the street from us here in Devon, but who is currently in New Zealand working on the filming of The Hobbit.  Alan writes: " So this is where I happen to be; the view on tuesday morning before setting off for a day's work in Wellington, New Zealand."

Above and below: the views from Ellen Kushner's windows in New York City. Ellen says: "The first picture is actually the photo from our (Delia Sherman's & my) livingroom, where I have gone to spread out to edit the new Bordertown anthology, as my study had gotten to the 'so cluttered I can't even think in here' stage.  The view from my study, in the next room, is pretty much the same, though, minus the fairy.  He may seem a bit twee, but remember that we live in Manhattan - and in a neighborhood full of kids; so maybe one or two of the multitude who are walked to and from school by various caretakers have looked up and seen the profile against our curtains at night, and wondered....  The stained glass was a wedding present from our amazing friend, the Boston glass artist Alice Johnson.

"We really do live in the concrete heart of NYC;  I feel incredibly lucky to have the trees of Riverside Park out my window.  In summer, it's a thick wall of green - but in winter,  the bare trees reveal layer after layer of city landscape - on a clear day, all the way across the Hudson River to New Jersey."

The second picture is the view from Ellen's study window, taken during the snow storms of this past winter.

Above and below: The view from my husband Howard's office/music-room window, which is in an alpine cabin in our back yard, up against the woods. That's Tilly, of course, on the little balcony in front of the window. Dartmoor is in the distance (beyond the green hills and trees), crowned with the granite peak of Kestor -- near which there are Bronze Age ruins.

Above: A photograph from John Bridges, one of the good people behind the Mythic Imagination Institute in Atlanta. "It's a view of the backyard from my kitchen breakfast nook in Stone Mountain, Georgia," John writes. "Stone Mountain is a part of the Atlanta Metro Area, and I live about a mile as the crow flies from the actual giant piece of exposed granite that gives the area, and the park that contains it, its name. My dog Django was napping when I took this, otherwise he probably could be seen out in 'his' yard, patrolling for squirrels or being surprised by the occasional deer that visit the neighbor's yard in the early morning. You can glimpse a string of faded Tibetan prayer flags strung between a couple of branches towards the back of the yard. To the right is my favorite room in the house: the enclosed porch. Its a great place to sit and read or sketch on a breezy evening, though we're already starting to feel the end of spring here and the start of a steamy Atlanta summer."

Above: A window view from artist & musician Oliver Hunter in Melbourne, Australia. He writes: "I hate to have left this so late but the schedule and the lengthening nights (my south-facing window is usually shrouded by gloom at this time of year) have left me few windows of opportunity, excuse the pun. But this morning was gloriously sunny for about 5 minutes, long enough for me to snap you this."
