Thank you so much for this wonderful project. Through the dark days of COVID living on my own, it shed some light and gave great happiness. It was inspiring to see all the views around the world and to read people's stories. I have the first VFMW book, which will always be a valuable remnder of those days and the hope it inspired that one day I would be able to go travelling again.

View From My Window saw us all through a very dark time. The sun is out again in many ways and the joy and community created with VFMW will last forever.

I enjoyed every post that I saw this in group! Comments were all wonderful and supportive, really a shining example of how great social media can be when we are kind and respectful. Thank you to the administrators for all their hard work. At the root, we are all the same. Be well!

Thank you for doing this project. It was amazing in so many ways! The best; being able to “travel” with all the submitted photos during the pandemic. You helped maintain a little world of serenity and calm during the chaos. I will treasure my book as something wonderful that came from that time of uncertainty. Thank you, thank you, thank you!❤️

I have been a member since the very beginning but never entered a view photo. I loved to see all the photos from around the world, the different seasons and weather. I kept thinking one day l will have a view worth posting where all my 5 birdhouses have tenants and then l would post that view. Alas, birds keep their own schedules. It has been a joy to read the messages and see the photos and l can only imagine all the due diligence that has been part of the volunteers daily lives and the time spent by Barbara, the owner of this site. I will miss it but l see that some of the admins and moderators have taken up the gauntlet and started a new site so perhaps l will get to post a view after all. Thank you so much for the past three years. It has been a joyful distraction from all the fear and sadness that Covid has brought upon the world.

Bonjour à tous. Je pense avoir été membre de ce groupe le premier mois où il a existé. J'ai ensuite beaucoup regardé, commenté et apprécié ces photos venant de toute la planète. Certaines m'ont particulièrement émue pour surtout pour les commentaires de leurs auteurs. J'ai vu le monde autrement, et c'était bien le but de ce groupe. Ensemble, nous avons supporté cette période si particulière, ce saut dans l'inconnu, ces mois de doute et d'attente. De chagrin, aussi, pour les plus touchés. Les écrans de notre ordinateur, notre téléphone, ou de notre tablette ont finalement été aussi une fenêtre inattendue, mais chaque jour combien attendue... Merci pour l'idée, merci Barbara et à toute l'équipe de nous avoir aidé à traverser toute cette époque.

VFMW saved me during the pandemic. I saw so many beautiful spots and read some very touching words all while stuck in my house. I have a list of places that I wan to see because I saw a glimpse of them in your book and on the internet. Thanks to my cousin ,Janet for hooking me up with your site, I bought several books and even received one as a gift for me. Thanks Much

You were a glimpse into a brighter world when things were shut down. View from my window helped motivate me when circumstances around our life were challenged. Thanks to all who contributed!

View From My Window was such a wonderful, amazing project to be involved with. Such a brilliant way to bring the people of the world together during an uncertain time in the history of the world; through our shared experience, bringing love and light to the darkness of a global pandemic. Blessings and good health to all.

I have loved this so much. I got one of the books and traveled through it like I travel with maps, studying each entry and imagining myself there. I saw so many places I will never travel to and got a sense of hundreds of potential friends. And now, you and the team will have more time to enjoy your own pursuits and breathe again. Many thanks for this blessing that I will never forget.
