Looks can be deceiving

You'll see from my post about upholstering my patio furniture that we don't have the most scenic of views. We are on the 2nd floor of a 3 storey condo and we look out to a back alley.  So, while on first glance it doesn't seem very scenic, it does have it's pluses:

- Our unit is south east facing.  So, lots of sun for my veggies and plants.  
- We have a peak-a-boo view of the Lions Gate Bridge (ignore the other condos and hydro poles and imagine it in the distance just below where the drain pipe is coming out of the ceiling).

But the best view is if you look down from our railings.  


Not too shabby, for a back alley!
And keep in mind that these photos were taken a couple of weeks ago, 
so the view will only get better!
