Pics of your neighbourhood

I don't care what you look like. What does your neighbourhood look like? What does it sound like?

Taken from my living room





One more......this is a young seagull who is very silly and decided to keep landing on my windowsill and rapping on the window with his beak. It was alarming the first time it happened. He was interested in my little christmas tree. Once the christmas tree went down he stopped visiting.

I would try and get some pics but it's a bit risky. Would probably get my camera phone stolen

Yes, the level of theft here is quite high. Stealing photographs from someone's camera is the latest innovation.

View from the top of Forest Hill:



That aint a bad view that, I'll be looking for a house with that kind of view in the near future. How much are the houses going for in your area?

West Derby, Liverpool. Same road in Winter & Spring. Actually, the Winter picture was only taken just over a month back, whereas I took the other one a couple of days back.
