Look out of your window and take a photo (share it with a German e-Zine)
For the past couple of months we have been occasionally collaborating with the great German e-Zine Zuender, and you can see a previous list of contributions here. This time they come to us with a new curiosity – what lies on the other side of our window.
To protect your privacy, they have set up a Photobucket account which you can use to upload your pictures. Here are some basic instructions on how to use it:
1. Take the picture, copy it to your PC
2. Go here: photobucket.com/login
3. Username is “diezuender”, password is “mey-2008″
4. See the box right of the ad (it’s captioned “images from my PC”)? Use it to upload your photo
5. Once the upload is complete, add your nickname, your country and your city (if you want to)
6. Click “save and continue”, your photo will show up in the list below
7. Copy the field “HTML-Code” and paste it to the comments section here at Mideast Youth
8. Write us some lines if you feel like writing
You may also use your Flickr account if you have it, or wherever else you have an account. The photobucket is there for those who don’t want to reveal those accounts to the public for the sake of privacy/security.
Here’s what’s outside my room’s window in Bahrain:
They are going to ask their readers to do the same too.
So, send your photos! Link to them via a comment here.

So here’s my photo from Siegen, Germany. It’s actually far from being a current shot, but I don’t think anything has changed since then.

I’m not living in the best neighborhood here, but the houses you can see on this photo (it’s actually a few hundred meters away, my room is on the fourth floor) are certainly one of the toughest neighborhoods in town. At least I have been said that, never been there myself… The weather is quite usual for Siegen, lots of rainy days here.
Man there’s nothing worth seeing from the view of my window, unless American suburbia which is boring happens to attract some people here.
@danial: Might seem boring to you, but you’ve been living there for a while
Here’s mine, veeery boring hamburg, germany:
crampy 7 storey-courtyard. dark and sometimes noisy. but in summer, when everybody is living with open windows, it’s like I had one big family.
Umm, the image embedding doesn’t work. Here’s the link: http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn136/diezuender/P1280328.jpg
So we have two from Germany and one not from the US. Hey you Mideast youth, where are you?

That’s fun. Seems like everybody’s having a view – apart from me. Send in more!
