I don't know what my obsession is with windows (and doors). Maybe it's because, for one, the windows in my apartment do not open "normally." That is, it's a newer building so all of the windows open out. And, they open out to only about a couple of inches, so yeah, I hate our current window situation. I also forgot to mention that our view is a whole lot of brick walls. No green whatsoever.
Not like the above window, though. The above picture was taken in the country -- Upstate New York to be specific. There's something about a window facing nature that just brings about a feeling of serenity. I mean, duh, I guess a view of a brick wall is not exactly the symbol of serenity. But still, being surrounded by nature is soooo necessary.
So, in closing, that's a yes (and a please) to more green space in urban areas!
