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]]. ==See also== *[[Graphical projection]] *[[Sense#List of senses|List of senses]] *[[Page view]] *[[Panorama]] *[[View (database)]] *[[Viewing (funeral)]] *[[Visual perception]] [[Category:Vision]] [[de:Aussicht]] [[nl:Uitzicht]] [[ja:ビュー]] [[pl:Widok]] [[sv:Utsikt]]
