Last time I was there it was a village. 
One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

It once was a cornfield. Meanwhile it became more and more like a swamp and we are just waiting for the first alligator jumping outta there.

I'm on a client site at the moment so: behind me, industrial workings and anonymous grey sheds which are part of the site, and through the windows on the other side of the room, a school with its playing field and then suburbia, and also a multi-storey car park for the site I'm on. Not very exciting.
And in my normal office I just have a few of the next piece of the business park.

I got the London eye and city hall out of one window. The other way is those colourful buildings at Totenham Court Road[^], Centre Point[^] and in the distance the BT Tower[^]. 6th Floor in Covent Garden has some advantages!
London, although not impressive high-rises like some other Cities still has a beutiful skyline.

If it wasn't raining quite as hard as it is (hah! Some chance!) I would see grass, trees, and a gentle slope down to the river. Which is currently running like a b'stard and deeper than a deep thing, unlike it's more usual sedate 6 inch self.

When it's "normal" it's bed is about 30' across, but an inch to six inches deep, in a meandering channel that moves around.
When it's running heavy with rain off the Brecon Beacons, it's still 30' across, but 15'-20' feet deep, and moves whole trees and boulders the size of my car. Fortunately, there is still a looong way to go before it risks flooding the garden, much less the house (as there are fields the other side of the river which are lower). If we got flooded, that would be nothing to what would have happened to the small town downstream!
In normal mode, it's fine. In Hulk mode, I wouldn't mess with it!

What kind of measurement for depth has feet2? 
Just wondering, you know!

Ah, you strange foreign types!
In Imperial measurements, a single quote indicates feet (approx 30cm) while a double quote indicates inches (1/12th of a foot).
So 15' 6" would be about 4.7m

Aehhhmm yes, I know that.
Did you read my post carefully including the quote I took from your OP?
Just a hint you used 15' - 20' feet which translates to 15 feet - 20 feet feet. So what you said effectively was 15 feet2 - 20 feet2 and you are still owing me an answer of what that means in relation to a measure such as depth.
Looking forward to your response!

You didn't mention the harem of ruminants waiting outside with their minty fresh smiles and snow white fleeces.

Cheers!
One of the little beauties must have knocked it off the table when they escaped.

Lasso, what you need a lasso for?
Wear high shaft rubber boots and stick their hindlegs one inside each boot and they'll be going nowhere.
Ok, the others might still escape, but you can only tend to one at a time.

You've got the snow, you just can't see it because of the Fog.

No photos but my study overlooks a school playing field and trees and there's the happy sound of nippers running around, screaming and shrieking at each other. The west window of the spare bedroom has a wonderful view of the ugliest building in Crawley, namely, the Central Sussex College. It should have been demolished (like most of the town centre) years ago. Fortunately it's far enough away not to cast an evil shadow over our house although the concrete abomination does block the setting sun when it cares to shine.

I would take picture out the only window I have right now, but that would cause the neighbor to think I'm the creepiest guy on the planet and call the police.
