Different Views

Sometimes, you have to rise above your problems.

A couple of weeks ago, I had to visit an office for a meeting.

In their conference room, I took these photos from their windows.  From the seventh floor of the historic office building this company is located in, their view shows you the Broome County Courthouse (Binghamton, New York) with trees just starting to turn.

This is a different view of downtown Binghamton, New York from another window, showing a traffic circle (a "roundabout", as we call it locally).  In the center are some flower plantings.

I love this different point of view.  On the ground, where we normally are, you can get lost in detail. 

From above, you get the birds eye view.  (And, hopefully, you aren't afraid of heights).  You can see everything at once.

How do you normally look at problems?  From street view, or from the bird's eye view?

    I try to get all of them. To ensure I address all the nuances.

    Food for thought! I often get caught up in the detail of the ground-level view and forget to take a different look at problems in the context of the whole.

    This is so good, Alana!
    Taking the long view? Or the short. One can certainly get a better perspective with the long view.

    I try to look at the whole picture, so I guess the bird's eye view. I enjoyed your point of view.

    I hate roundabouts but they sure are pretty from above.

    We don't have many traffic circles. And most people try to avoid the ones we do have. But I hear that they are more efficient at moving traffic, so I wonder why we don't have more of them.

    I love the bird's eye view. Love the photos and your presentation. It's giving me another viewing of things.

    Very nice. I usually try to remove myself to the outside so I can see into the inside.
