Anyone get a view like this on the job?

[CDHumiston]

I had to visit some sites in Nevada last week. Here are a few pictures.

1st three are Spirit Mountain near Christmas Tree pass and last two are Mount Potosi near Goodsprings.

I get views exactly like that when I'm traveling every day except my views are flat plowed fields waiting to be planted and a couple cows now and then ...but pretty much like that.

 

[CDHumiston]

I have to look at 4-5 hours of 12 lane traffic before I get to see this, so I guess I pay for it.

I miss the fresh plowed fields I grew up playing in when I was a boy in Ohio. Dirt clod fights were great. Now plowing those fields when I was a teenager was a different story!

I don't even have windows! I say this in the nicest way possible, but you suck!

I hate to rub it in but this is the view outside of my shop...the commute to work every morning is torture....

Winter

Spring

Summer

For Autumn pics in the Colorado Rockies...see the winter pic again.
In reality, we have only three seasons...winter, summer, and mud. Mud Season comes twice a year...once between winter and summer and then again between summer and winter. I love it all. At 8,500 feet elevation, there aren't too many bad seasons nor views. Okay, okay...I know that he blessed us. American by birth, mountain man by the grace of God.

Nice views, now if my son could only say something about his views on his way to work. He has been without a paycheck since Dec 2008 and can not find any job what so ever. A lot of good a computer engineering degree with 20+ years experience. Sorry for the whine, but this is killing me as his dad and knowing what he is going through and no means to help.

Back to on topic, great views all.

I feel your son's pain, I have been unemployed for a year as of today... its depressing with the years I spent training, tell your son to stick in there... sooner or later it has to get better, right? I have since decided to change professions(after 8 years in my field) and am becoming a police officer, what I have always wanted to do anyways, so why not.

Back to the task at hand, all of you suck... I look outside and see asphalt and red clay... ughhh the Carolina Piedmont, the concrete keeps a creepin.

Every job is not so picturesque, but occasionally I end up in places like this...

Chris,
I think I have a picture of the same rock as in your third pic. Looks like you're hanging out between Laughlin and Searchlight, been there several times. Love that area, there are some really nice views and rugged terrain.

Yea, thats the area. Unfortunately I only get to go there twice a year now. They have cut back my road trips to Nevada. I have 20 site all over southern California. Some have beautiful views due to the elevation, but some are pure ugly scrub desert.

I used to drive Semi and drove the Conus. I had a great view out of my office window, changed every minute!!!
