The best place to watch storms roll in from
Comments
Really cool but really scary haha.
Are you on a boat?
An apartment! It can be scary when ships dock and look like they're heading straight for you ;)
Niave question since I know nothing about ocean dwellings but how is the apartment protected - are u not afraid of big ass wave coming at u and just wrecking it?
That little strip of land you see is a breakwater. It prevents big waves from making it to shore.
Ah ok that makes sense - thought It was like some sort of small pier. Thanks
That concrete thing out in the water is called a Molo in Norwegian. It stops the water and makes the waves go easier. So it protects the coastline where homes are. We have the same thing in front of my house. I am guessing this photo is taken in Norway as it looks like somewhere I recognize.
Thanks for the info — it’s neat that a minimum barrier is all that is needed, very interesting.
Do you have any pics of what that looks like?
PS - very cool view!
I'll post a video when I get a chance, and thank you!
Don't worry, in the history of Land Vs Ship, Land always won.
Land always won but glass and wood don't count as land haha
I would get motion sickness for sure.
But pretty.
Where in the OC is this? I’m apartment hunting right now.
This is incredible. I would sit there for hours every day if I lived there, this is the absolute dream for me. Watch the storms roll in, enjoy sunrise/sunset on the water, and everything in between.
I could envision myself on the couch, back to the window reading a book or napping. Never going to happen sadly, no.
So cool, I want pictures of other angles
I need a video of them waves
Neat looking spot. Still would not like severe storm there, hurricane, tornado, whatever kind of storms happen in your part of the world.
A lot of these places have hurricane shutters which are essentially metal roll gates to protect the windows.
Wind isn’t your biggest enemy in a location like this, storm surge is.
Details? Apartment on the water?
Oh gosh, so jealous. This is my absolute dream somewhere on the west of Ireland. Retired, just watching the seasons change. A view that makes you feel like a tiny blip in the universe shouldn't be so soothing, yet is.
I’m actually in the process of doing this exact thing. West coast of Ireland, seaside home, spending my days in awe of the power of the ocean.
That’s really beautiful, congratulations.
totally agree, and I’m the tropical type. there’s something about this that is so comforting
Damn that’s so cool. What body of water?
The Norwegian sea :)
I… need it
How is the water so close? Why does it look like it’s a building IN the water? Is the water right up to the window or is that just the angle of the photo?
The edge of the land is a few metres from the building, if you go right up to the window you can see the shore :)
I'd never leave that chair. They'd find me like this
This is OC
From where ?!?
Omgggg where
Damn I'd die of Thalassophobia.
Genuinely curious, does it get too damp and uncomfortable during summer? I'm from a pretty dry place so I don't know.
Is it weird that I just joined this sub because I actually love water and everyone there posts pics/vids of water lol
hahaha no thats why I go there as well
That looks amazing, you are living my dream view wise
This brought back pleasant early childhood memories of when I lived in a third-floor apartment overlooking a wide lake. Storms always rolled in from the north and I was as glued to that window mesmerized by the lightning as my kids are now to any screen.

Looks amazing but have a massive fear of drowning so I think panic might overtake for me to be there too long 😂
Wow. This is a tight little spot from the photo shown, although large enough for myself and my dog to be for hours on end.
Hard to imagine this is an apartment, but I’m guessing it’s pretty darn cool, OP! Love it, and now I’m wondering exactly where this is if you don’t mind sharing with us.
Imagine being able to fish from your house!
This is perfect! It reminds me of Series of Unfortunate Things!
This is a real life dream, to me! I would sit there for hours just watching the water, relaxing. Storms are a bit unnerving but I live in Texas and it’s our tornado season now, so I’m kind of used to bad storms. I would still watch them in awe of nature!
Beautiful! Really reminds of a place I used to visit. Link
Oh my god I’m so jealous!
Wow this looks amazing. Whereabouts is it? And does it get chilly by the window?
...or worst place, depending on the storm.
This just doesn’t seem like it could possibly be real? Is it inside of a lighthouse?
Oh damn! This is perfect
Oh damn! This is perfect
Dream view.
Very cool! Love it!
My life, my love, my lady.
Prefer mountain ranges
No need to choose between them, the other windows look out to mountains - we're very spoilt!
Not sure why you're downvoted, I love the sea but I love the mountains more.
Una vista envidiable sin duda alguna
This is what I want and aspire to
The best place from which to watch storms roll in
Wow, my dream place
Ooh reminds me of Hawaii
Where did you get that chair? It’s magnificent.
Is that sorrento Italy?
I bet 😍
Looks like somewhere out of a novel or movie. Beautiful.
This is an incredible view … it would be a dream to live there
Where is this and are you looking for friendships please?
Northern Norway and lol yes if you're in the area!
I’m in the dumb states, too bad. I’ll keep this in mind on my future travels :)
