THE FIRST CLASSROOM BY LILJA (TEACHER) IN THE WINDOW YOU CAN SPOT A RABBIT, WAITING TO BE COUNTED. THERE ALSO TWO JARS. ONE HAS SAMPLES FROM A BEACH TRIP, THE OTHER IS AN EVAPORATION EXPERIMENT. OUTSIDE YOU SEE HOUSES AND TREES. BOYOND THE TREES IS THE ATLANTIC OCEAN

THE SKY IS STILL AND BLEAK BY EMELÍA I GUESS YOU COULD SAY IT‘S BEAUTIFUL, TOO BAD CORONA IS ON THE LOOSE OTHERWISE I’D PROBABLY BE OUTSIDE. THE GRASS IS A CERTAIN KIND OF GREEN I CAN´T REALLY NAME, THE SKY IS STILL AND BLEAK. THERE ARE THREE TREES VISIBLE FROM OUT MY WINDOW, THERE A BIT BENT THOUGH. I CAN SEE A FEW OFFWHITE HOUSES FROM BEHIND THE FENCE.
THE GRASS IS GREEN BY ÚLFUR A
THE GRASS IS GREEN AND IT KEEPS GETTING GREENER THE TREES ARE BIG AND THEY KEEP GETTING BIGGER
ONCE A FARMHOUSE BY ADRIAN THIS IS A PHOTOGRAPH I TOOK FROM A WINDOW IN MY ROOM. I LIVE ON THE 2ND FLOOR. IN THIS PICTURE YOU CAN SEE A HOUSE THAT ONCE WAS A FARMHOUSE. THE MAN WHICH OWNS THE HOUSE TODAY WAS BORN IN THAT HOUSE. HE HAS LIVED THERE ALL HIS LIFE. BEHIND THE HOUSE YOU CAN SEE A GARDEN. THAT GARDEN WAS ONCE A PART OFF THE FARM. NOW IT IS A PUBLIC MINIGARDEN. CHILDREN LIKE TO PLAY IN THE GARDEN. THE MAN WHO LIVES IN THE HOUSE LIKES TO MAKE GARDEN GNOMES, AND HE PUTS THEM IN HIS GARDEN. YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THEM ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE HOUSE. THE NAME OF MY STREET IS BREKKUSTÍGUR IN ICELANDIC, THAT MEANS HILL STREET IN ENGLISH. THE STRANGE THING ABOUT IT IS THAT THE STREET IS NOT IN A HILL. YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF SNOW IN THE PUBLIK MINI-GARDEN.
GEESE IN MY BACKYARD BY HUGRÚN
I LIVE IN REYKJAVÍK, THE CAPITAL OF ICELAND, IN A STREET CALLED FELLSMÚLI. THIS IS MY LIVING ROOM WINDOW. THIS IS THE WINDOW THAT I LOOK OUT OF WHEN I’M DOING MY HOMEWORK. I STUDY AT HOME BECAUSE I’M NOT ALLOWED TO GO TO PUBLIC PLACES SO MY BABY BROTHER DOESN’T GET SICK FROM COVID-19. IT’S SNOWING RIGHT NOW AND VERY WINDY, USUALLY THERE ARE MANY GEESE IN MY BACKYARD (WHICH IS WHAT YOU’RE LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW), BUT I THINK THEY’LL SHOW UP LATER TODAY. KIND REGARDS,
IT‘S GRAY WEATHER OUTSIDE BY ÞORBJÖRG I CAN SEE THE GREEN GRASS LBOWING IN THE WIND. I CAN THE BIRDS SITTING ON THE TREE BRANCHES AND PREPARING FOR THE NESTING SEASON ALTHOUGH THE LEAVES ON THE TREES ARE NOWHERE TO BEEN SEEN THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS QUEIT AND ALL I CAN HEAR ARE THE BIRDS SINGING
WINDOW BY ÓSK
I SEE A RAINBOW OUT OF MY WINDOW I CAN SEE THE GLASS THROUGH THAT THE SKY IS BLUE
A SAND BROWN HOUSE BY BJÖRT
THERE ARE TWO HOUSES ON THIS PICTURE. ONE IS SAND BROWN AND THE OTHER ONE IS WHITE. THE WHITE HOUSE HAS A GREEN ROOF. THE ROOF ON THE OTHER HOUSE IS RED. THERE IS ALSO A GARAGE THERE, IT’S WHITE WITH THREE SMALL WINDOWS AND A DOOR. THERE IS ALSO A LADDER LYING TOWARDS THE HOUSE WITH THE RED ROOF AND A BICYCLE TOO. THERE IS SNOW ON THE GROUND AND SOME TREES IN THE GARDENS.
LIVED HERE ALL MY LIFE BY HULDA THIS IS MY VIEW OUT OF MY WINDOW. THE HOUSE IS GREEN AND GRAY. MY CLASSMATE LIVES THERE. I LIVE IN BRAEDRABORGARSTIGU R. I HAVE LIVED THERE ALL MY LIFE
CLOSE TO THE SEA BY KONRÁÐ THIS IS A PICTURE OF MY GARDEN THERE ARE FEW BUSHES AND A FLAGPOLE TO0. THE GRASS IS GREEN LIKE NORMALLY, THE SEA IS IN FRONT OF THE STREET, IN FRONT THE BUSHES. PEOPLE GO WALK THEIR DOGS AND THEIR BABYTROLLEY. IT IS FUN TO LIVE CLOSE TO THE SEA. THERE ARE RICH PEOPLE WHO LIVES NEXT TO OUR HOUSE. THEY OWN A BENTLEY.
SOMETIMES I SEE PEOPLE BY DIMAS ENGLISH THIS THE VIEW FROM MY BEDROOM WINDOW. I SEE MY GARDEN, HOUSES, TWO CARS. SOMETIMES I SEE PEOPLE WALKING IN THE STREET.

THE GROUND BY DANÍEL HERE IS A VIEW FROM ON OF THE WINDOWS IN MY HOUSE. BASICALLY MORE THAN HALF OF THE VIEW IS GROUND. THE REST IS THE FEET OF OTHER PEOPLE
THE SECOND CLASSROOM WINDOW BY INGUNN (TEACHER)
NO KIDS PLAYING – NO PLAYFUL SOUNDS OR LAUGHTER. NOT A BIRD SINGING. NO ONE IN THE STREETS. CARS LIKE SLEEPING BEETLES. SILENCE IN GRAY TONES IN THIS FROZEN WORLD- EVERYWHERE. WHEN WILL WE BE FREE OUT OF THIS VIRUS-PRISON?
