'''''Point Of View''''' is the thirteenth album by [[Spyro Gyra]] from [[1989 in music|1989]]. The album cover shows a lizard climbing from a puddle on the pavement, up to the sidewalk next to a fire hydrant. The puddle mirrors a somewhat bizarre view of what seems like a jungle right behind the hydrant.
