@brennyn We had outhouses when I worked for outward bound. One had quite the view. It faced the lake in Canada and so you could use it with the door open and look at the lake. Since you could hear if others were coming on the path you could shut the door if need be. Of course it is a two holer so…
On a hammock, inside mosquito netting, stretched between and under two shade trees, iced glass of tea in one hand, cold bottle of beer in the other. waiting for the steak and foil-wrapped potato and ear of corn on the grill to finish, with the dog watching and planning her move. Mungo Jerry is playing in the ear buds,
In a hammock with mosquito netting on a warm night, with the starry sky over your head and the little frogs peeping with an occasional bullfrog croak, an occasional owl hooting. MAYBE A couple of shots of red label stolli in your hand…or not.
i mean, of those, a private deck, definitely. (like one that i own in my dreams that is attached to the house in my dreams, not some members only roofdeck shit.)
but a private beach (or just an empty beach would suffice) would be even better.
Deck, Sand, Cliff, anyplace that is overlooking water, be it a lake with boats, river, or ocean…to be even better add a plate of cheese and a glass of wine, (with the bottle close by…)
My daughter’s and son-in-law’s deck. Most anywhere in Colorado or Montana. The rugged stretches of the Oregon coast. Up. Up in the mountains (I don’t need the hike to enjoy the view or the chill, but I might put up with it).
Preferably someplace without a lot of people. Sometimes the just being away from people is enough. So an empty darkened room.
To be clear, I like some people. My wife and daughter are allowed in my presence most of the time. There are others I can enjoy in doses. But I like having a few moments away even from the ones I love the most.
@Koolhandjoe@phendrick I think that may be hedges and the hole is an optical illusion. The perspective makes it look like the top of the hedges are level with their background when in fact they are a couple of feet higher.
Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeach!
A private beach sounds pretty nice.
@remo28 Sure, as long as the most fashionable private guest are invited.
Flying kites on the beach and taking a break for fish and chips that my wife went and got. One of my best memories ever.
On the mountain bike trail.
Outdoor fire pit
@pskemp2 I prefer being next to one.
Outside? Where that blazing ball of light throws off cancer causing UV? I have evolved to stay indoors and not long for the company of others.
COVID-19: bringing evolution one step forward.
@Evansdoor make sure you take vitamin D supplements.
At the beach
A rooftop in the city.
@00
On the beach, listening to the crash of the waves, studying the advancements in fashion. No, my wife does not buy that last one either.
@hchavers You can of course go to a beach without the fashion and skip all the hassle…
On a sailboat or kayaking whitewater.
@Kidsandliz I won’t diss whitewater kayaking, but I will say you have a different definition than me what it means to chill.
@DrWorm It is chilling from “normal day to day life”.
On a blanket on a balcony off of your private deck gazing at distant mountain tops from your personal yacht.
True story.
But not my true story…
Under a roof, surrounded by walls.
On my patio with my cooler, grill, and tunes.
On an outdoor toilet, where everyone can see you. Don’t like, don’t look at it.

With a gorgeous partner, a glass of bubbly, and a view of the Matterhorn.
I guess it’s too obvious to be on the list:

On a deck facing the ocean listening to the waves reading with a glass of wine at your side…
@rustyh3 I hate to be the one to break it to you, but the waves aren’t really reading. They’re just reciting from memory…
@shahnm well played!
Give me a cheap lawn chair, a cool drink, good music beside a picturesque river with a nice set of rapids and I’m good for the day.

The pub in the backyard!
On a screened porch overlooking the lake, preferably with an adult beverage and some good company.
@ahacksaw Your comment works equally well if you switch around the placement of “adult” and “good”.
It also works if you switch “screened” and “good”.
I need something else to do this morning…
i mean, of those, a private deck, definitely. (like one that i own in my dreams that is attached to the house in my dreams, not some members only roofdeck shit.)
but a private beach (or just an empty beach would suffice) would be even better.
In a boat on the lake, in the lake at the sandbar is even better. Drinking beer with with friends. Can’t wait for summer!
Deck, Sand, Cliff, anyplace that is overlooking water, be it a lake with boats, river, or ocean…to be even better add a plate of cheese and a glass of wine, (with the bottle close by…)
On a boat, with a bottle of a nice smoky Islay single malt.

meh should sell this mat
All of this "on a . . . "
dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
I feel like I had to answer this with… chillin in a graveyard…
@Koolhandjoe [At least it’s not chillun in a graveyard.]
Hole?? (Doesn’t appear to be typical cemetery rectangular hole.)
Tree growing out of said hole???
@phendrick Weeping Willow perhaps
@Koolhandjoe @phendrick I think that may be hedges and the hole is an optical illusion. The perspective makes it look like the top of the hedges are level with their background when in fact they are a couple of feet higher.
@Koolhandjoe A friend of mine told me that his first experiences “chilling” in the Netflix sense (ahem) were in a graveyard…
@Kyeh … welll… uhm… huh… i… nope got nothing
@Koolhandjoe
It was with a live girlfriend, if that helps.
@DrWorm Yeh, I can visualize that, now that you gave my brain another perception to try to settle in on.
