I found this page in the early months following the covid lockdown. As an avid traveler and (hobby) photographer, I fell in love with the daily post immediately. I loved seeing how everyone, in so many parts of the world sharing their views & thoughts, good or bad. It was promising and comforting too. I shared a photo of my grandkids, playing in the trampoline in our backyard. It was a typical spring day in the PNW - wet and gloomy but, the scene was joyful . I felt blessed to have my grandkids, safe and carefree enjoying their childhood and the beauty of our backyard. Looking at some of the pictures posted on this site, I knew this was not the case for many, specially those in cities across the globe. My photo was published, I believe in May or June 2020. I love this page so much, I invited several families & friends, and I was happy to see the worldwide & media attention brought on by the popularity of the site. I so appreciated the work done by everyone on this team. I think your work not only made it bearable to live during the darkest times of our lives but, most importantly - you gave us beauty, hope, light, laughter and friendships. The borders & walls disappeared through your post. I bought the 2 editions of books published and I know I will enjoy looking through them for many more years. I love that Barbara D was able to make the trip to Japan and make it full circle with photos from the same room/view and with the author of that post. That was specially touching for me since we have had many exchange students from Japan and traveling to (Kyoto) Japan is still on my bucket list. Thank you all for the wonderful work and I wish you all the best in your future endeavors. Peace to all.

I have been following VFMW since it started. I still stay in touch with my family in Odesa. My family came from there

I loved seeing all the views from around the world. It was a trip I could never take any other way! I regret never posting my View even tho i had been in the group early on. Thought i could get it in this morning before the final curtain but missed it. Thank you to the Creator of VFMW for this journey. Thanks to the Admin and Moderators as well.

View from my window was part of my everyday life for three years, and I'll miss it greatly. I joined in early April 2020, and scrolling through these amazing photos from around the world, reading the posts about people's lives in lockdown, their personal stories, and the conversations that were sparked ... it felt so enriching and inspiring, all of it. We were in this together, all of us, and it made all the difference in the world. During the weeks and weeks of post-Covid fatigue and mind fog that I went through in April, May and June of 2020, it provided so much joy. Ever since, I've enjoyed the views from other members' windows over my morning coffee, and the last few days have felt a little empty. It's an adjustment. 🙂 It was such a fantastic idea, it provided just what Barbara had had in mind when she created the group, and I so feel blessed to have been part of it. I'll love the memory of the group as much as I loved the group itself. Thank you, Barbara and team, and good luck for whatever your futures hold for you! All your time and effort have been appreciated very, very much!

Thank you to all who shared their view. I loved everyone’s view I someday will visit those beautiful countries.

This group has been a wonderful blessing. To see the world from different windows has been a privilege. Thanks 🙏🏻

It was so nice to be part of the group. I have the two books and helps to bring good memories from a horrible time that the world was going through. Thanks everyone and thanks Barbara for this amazing idea 🙌

Thank you for creating such a beautiful community during the pandemic. Seeing everyone's views and reading their stories was uplifting, especially during the pandemic's darkest hours.

Thank you. I have met some wonderful people through this site. I wish you all the best.

Thank you so much for allowing us to travel when travel was forbidden. It was a wild and wonderful venture.❤️❤️❤️
