Beach or mountain Sep 3, 2018

... as long as the sharks are detected by pattern recognition or the fires by smoke/heat detectors. Having to keep an eye on the situation the whole time would be too distracting

I couldn't work in any of these Sep 3, 2018

As the song written and composed by Prince, and made famous by Sinead O’Connor, says “Nothing compares 2U”, meaning my tiny but comfortable office where everything I need is at arm’s length…

The mountains Sep 3, 2018

Yes, in a mountain, bur a firewatch post may be a bit less comfortable than what I expect. I chose only the mountain.

The world or the sea Sep 4, 2018

The plane is my favourite but I doubt I could work there, so I choose the veranda by the sea. I've tried it several times and it's perfect! 😍

none of these Sep 4, 2018

I would choose a dark cave with no distracting view.

Firewatch post in the mountains Sep 4, 2018

While I love the ocean, there would be too many distractions. And I really do love my lovely little home office.

The mountain would be peaceful and rich with the oxygen from trees. Perfect for concentration.

The mountain would be peaceful and rich with the oxygen from trees. Perfect for concentration.

The question reminded me of Joanne Greenberg, "mountain top author," who has fought forest fires and written many books from her mountain-top firewatch post: http://www.mountaintopauthor.com/pages/about.html
She is the author of "I Never Promised You a Rose Garden." She and I crossed paths in college and I spoke with her a few years ago, then still going strong on her mountain top.

None of them... Sep 4, 2018

My own office decorated by me ^_^ which takes place in the middle of a metropolitan city so that I can go out to a cafe or a restaurant when I'm fed up with work.

Seaside Sep 4, 2018

I like wide open spaces; I am not much of a mountain goat. I have worked in a small apartment overlooking the Atlantic on several occasions and I loved it.
Go for an early-morning swim, work until the end of the working day, then go for a stroll along the beach - perfect for me!

No cities... Sep 4, 2018

Visiting my family around London for a fortnight is about as much as I can take, and I am not usually trying to work. If I have to, I can manage an hour or two in my son's house, where it is quiet.

A small town by the sea, birds in the garden but otherwise no noise. I work best in my own office, with MY OWN COFFEE POT nearby.

A beachside veranda... Sep 4, 2018

..was always my dream. Unfortunately, I am living between two countries and none of my two houses is near a beach (but a wonderful large French garden in the countryside with chickens and bells,)

My new office is finally readjusted pre-industrial high class cupboard as to accomodate my cyber/print/video-edit office gear and its airing and humidity requirements. There's no other office I'd rather be in right now!

Mountains... Sep 4, 2018

... with forests and running trails, and no severe winters or bad weather.
Actually, I'm quite OK where I am...
