It is far from doomy and gloomy. The garden is animated in summer.

I like it. But I generally like the architecture of London. That looks like it's in a good area

Oddly, the Photo threads on the weather forum are a bit like that, since the posters are all over. The focus is a bit more on natural landscapes, especially related to the seasonal changes, rather than architecture and urbanscapes but there's plenty of just "photos of my local area". Give it a check, some photos are very good.

We even have fun. The local children recording in the same studio the Beatles recorded most of their songs. The boy at the front in black and yellow hoops lives in my block:

Maybe they should learn from us and value what they have.
You all definitely lucked out. Getting rid of the rails and building more and more highways is always a huge mistake.
