A '''view''' is what can be [[seen]] in a range of [[Visual perception|vision]]. View may also be used as a [[synonym]] of [[perspective (cognitive)|point of view]] in the first sense. View may also be used figuratively or with special significance—for example, to imply a [[scenic outlook]] or special [[vantage point]]:
:The barrier Rhine hath flashed, through battle-smoke,
:On men who gaze heart-smitten by the view,
:As if all Germany had felt the shock!
::- from ''The Germans on the Heights of Hochheim'' ([[1816]]) by [[William Wordsworth]]
==Law==
Laws or regulations in various jurisdictions may protect a view as an [[easement]], preventing property owners from constructing buildings that would block the view from another location. For example, planning regulations in [[London]] protect the view of various historical buildings, such as [[St. Paul's Cathedral]] and the [[Palace of Westminster]].
