This contest is for the new members who joined in the month of August 2004!
If you could wake up every morning and look out your bedroom window at the perfect view, what would that view be? A cozy country dwelling? White sand tickled by a sapphire tide? A skyline full of tall buildings? It’s up to you. Be inventive and explore the realm otherwise known as your imagination.
We want descriptions of a scene that you see from your window. What would the perfect view be? Stun us with your intense, beautiful imagery
RULES
