I recently relocated floors in the building where I work - from a windowless 7th floor office to a windowed 37th floor office. The office is smaller, and in fact the rooms themselves in the 37th floor are not as nice, but what it does offer is some natural light and a pretty good view.
The window is facing north and the building is on the south side of town, so I can see pretty much all of the buildings in downtown. I can't see much of the ground (except along the streets that are immediately adjacent to the building), but I can see a few highways, Minute Maid park (the roof is open), and the George R Brown convention center.
One day last week, it was so foggy I could not see anything out my window. It was very strange to see. The fog did not burn off until about 10:00 AM.
