PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. — During the COVID-19 pandemic, many people around the world are spending their time inside their homes in order to help control the spreading of the virus.

A public Facebook page called "View from My Window" was created recently and is attracting and connecting thousands of people from all over the planet. Members share their view, location and a little of their individual story.

The page administrator said each day the cover photo is updated with a photo from another member. In a few months, a nomad exhibition will be created with the most inspiring photos to create a book.

Anyone can join and post one single photo, which has to be approved by the administrator before getting posted on the page.
