This is Climb to the stars

"Welcome to my overexposed and not-so-orderly blogging spot. To the right of the monitor, some unpaid bills, a dirty mug, a French dictionary, and a draughty window. That is why there is a blanket on the chair. On the keyboard, the headset I use for dictating (I have RSI). Around the screen, strips of paper marked with a grid. It allows me to place my mouse on the screen by voice. The docking station for the phone which took this photograph must be somewhere beneath the Indian cat.

In front of me, slightly to the left, there is a jungle of green plants. Behind them, a window filled with the building that grew there last year. I could see a far off mountain through it before that.

Looking through the window on my right, I see mostly the building opposite. However, I also see a lot of sky, and through a gap between the blocks I can catch a glimpse of the lake and of the distant Jura mountains, where the sun sets in pinks and reds every evening."
