... 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! 😍

Why not include the option we all would agree with?
A QUIET APARTMENT IN THE LAST FLOOR OF A LARGE CITY

I would choose a dark cave with no distracting view.

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

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.

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!

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