Every day I thank the rental gods that as I am working from home for many months now, I have a clear western-facing view of the world from our only windows.
Of course the existence of a wash (water channel and accompanying dirt area leading down from the mountains several miles away) provides that clear outdoor space, but if you look down it resembles the DMZ or a prison yard...
Makes for some interesting character studies though! Kind of a "hobo highway". I can do street photography from my desk. Here are some samples.
