As regular visitors to this blog know, the views from our 5th floor apartment window can often be quite spectacular. This past weekend was no exception.
The weather was unseasonably warm in Nashua, NH, and daytime temps on Saturday were in the low 70s.These ↑ views ↓were seen late Sunday afternoon from our living room window.
Overnight rain, which lasted well into Sunday had ushered in a cool weather front. Skies had begun to clear by late afternoon and produced a colorful view of foliage and construction.
The tall building in the background was part of the Nashua Manufacturing Company (a textile mill) and is now a storage facility. The shorter building was also part of the mill operation. The outdoor parking area is for Clocktower apartments, which is the former mill. (The apt building name is a result of two clock towers on the main buildings, both in working order.) The ramp in the middle of the above photo goes to an indoor garage parking (keyed entry, additional cost). The entire parking area was once a canal that provided water power for the mill.
As shown in the top photo, my usual vantage point is from our 5th floor living room to show a "river" view. The other photos were taken from another 5th floor window to show a "city" view.
Often, there's no need to travel far to find interesting images; I just look out a window.
By the way, we have a resolution to the mystery deposits posted about last week, details to follow later this week.

All of your views are interesting, but the first is special.
I think I would be constantly staring out of your window. That first image is beautiful. B x
What great views...like living in a nest. I'm only a second floor nest, so look through trees all the time. I love that first one! And the beautiful spruce tree, which I imagine will be decorated for the holidays!
I love the River view. It seems so New England, at least to me. Your weather seems to be two days behind us. I had lunch outdoors at a winery on Thursday. By Sunday, we had 2 inches of snow sticking to the ground. The days of wine and roses is over till next year.
With your views I'd never get a thing done! Yiu live in an interesting place. What's the origin of the name Clock tower? Is, was, there one, for the mill?
Interested to find out what the answer to the mystery deposits is.
I love the view out your windows there. Such beautiful scenes and skies you get to see.
Looking forward to reading about the resolution to the mystery deposits.
Wow for nice views!
At night it must be like the holidays year round. I love old brick mill buildings. The ambiance they create speaks of wonderful possibilities and open spaces.
Lovely sunset. We rarely see them because of the large hill to our west.
cliffhangers make me crazy, please don't wait long to advise on the mystery deposits. those first two photos are awesome. the colors in the sky are so beautiful and are painting the buildings and making them glow. you do have fantastic views from your windows
You have such beautiful views from your windows. You are so fortunate.
I sure am interested in the mysterious deposits in the bank. You live in a gorgeous place. Wow!
The combination of grey, blue, orange, makes the sky a great view to behold. The river beneath, and the buildings around, add their fair share to the whole picture as seen through your window.
Stunning views from your apartment windows. I'm sure you gaze often out them.
I do like the repurposing of the mill instead for demolishing it.
Can't wait to hear what the results of your bank situation are.

You're fortunate to have such interesting views seen from your apartment home. We've also had some stunning skies lately. You've captured the colours beautifully.
Wow! That first view is fabulous.
All the best Jan

Interesting views to be sure.
Beautiful views from your window! Those skies are stunning! Chillier down here too.
Wow, those views!
You caught some great skies. I find all the area in which you live to be very interesting. I like the river most.
Beatrice, Love the Sunday afternoon view of the river! Great color...great photo! You do live in a beautiful place and I love the ongoing trend of recycling old factories, warehouses and offices to residential and multi-use structures. Its happening here too in downtown Knoxville... Take Care and Have a Great Thanksgiving! Big Daddy Dave
Spectacular views. I would be sitting by the window all the time. :)
The views from your windows are fascinating, and they undoubtedly provide an ever-changing source of entertainment.
The first photo is really gorgeous - - and your river always reminds me of the Neva River in St. Petersburg, Russia.
You have your very own television of nature. How fortunate you are.
Your weather sounds much like ours, though now we are definitely into the cold! What a lovely skyline view!
I felt so CAPTIVATED by these magical breathtaking images dear Dorothy!!!
The sky seems to arrange a perfect treat for eyes and soul surly Wow specially the second image has striking variety of gorgeous colour. Your captures stood one of the most beautiful sky shots I have ever seen:)
