I only go on ships when they are securely tied to the dock.  While it might be interesting to go somewhere with these ships once or twice, I imagine it would get old fast.

I spent a night on one once. It was a bulk carrier and they gave me a guest cabin with two bunk beds (I was the only one using it) and its own private head. It wasn't bad at all, but again it was tied to something solid!

Outside my work area today was a large dog poo (I assume it was a dog  :ahhh)

I decided to spare you all the photo  :tu:

No pics available, but there's only buildings around. Now, one of that buildings happens to be a casino, and once in a while there's some babes sighting. Not that often, though.   :rant:

I work in some really pretty mountains all the time.  I would be able to enjoy them if I didn't hate everything about my job.

Wait till it turns white, then take a photo!

No really, thinking about it, you just don't see that any more, old white dog poo, why's that?

we don't feed dogs many bones any more, so much less calcium in the poo.

These are some pictures from my route. It is kind of hard to see but there are Elk in the pictures. I see Elk, Deer, or Turkeys on a daily basis, even had the privilege of seeing a Bobcat one morning.
And yes I was stopped when I took the pictures. :P

I have elk, deer, and turkeys on my route too.  No bobcats, but I've seen Mountain lion tracks and I see huge bighorn sheep all the time.  They stand in the middle of the road and don't move.  At all.  I've gotten out of my truck and waved and yelled but they just kind of look at me.  You almost have to bump them with your bumper to move them.

That's better than what I've got going on.  Today I'll be enjoying the view from a cold storage locker.

I would take any of those views, even the one with the dog poo. When I enter my workplace, I lose all sense of direction, time and what it's like outside for a solid 10 hours  :( My workplace has no windows.

I hate winter.... but then my mother was from Glasgow, so maybe I'm not 100% Canadian!

My workplace doesn't have windows either, but since I work outside mostly I guess they aren't really needed!  :D

N_N_R, love your view, reminds me of here.

If I looked outside, I'd be sad. Because I'd be looking at a beautiful mountain about 20 miles away, that right now has snow so pure it glitters above the tree line. And a lovely forest of mostly pine, spruce, ash and birch from the base. Sometimes that tip is in the clouds, which often look like they are carved from grey stone, and put my mind to Olympus or Asgard or Ama. And right now it reflects the sunset and turns into a beautiful fairyscape of pinks and oranges for a few minutes every day, and is a gleaming beacon under the full moon and against a black sky filled with stars. And that between me and it are farms and forest and a couple of decent ponds and rivers and I really would much rather be out there, any day of the week.

Then I turn around and look out the other window at the parking lot we share with the old folks home and I see my little toy truck that the bank still owns. And has an alumni sticker on it for my ala mater.

And if I go outside, and walk around the building, I can see the satellite campus of my old college. The college that axed my degree as being too generic and replaced it with watered down material in two degrees that have higher completion levels and thus bring in more money while turning out kids who can't do what I can and they can't get jobs either without moving away. The college that raised tuition over 30% one year and 15% the next because it was buying that satellite campus.

So I don't go around the building. Or look out the window.

I like it :)

Those padlocks are on the gate at Mt Major - the only bump in a flat landscape for 80km. Every broadcast company in the state has a tower up there - and they all have their own padlock.
