Very nice shot!

I like this angle, it gives a great perspective and appreciation of just how many homes are crammed into such a relatively small area.

Thanks miodd! Yes, we have to appreciate what we have. The picture is taken from the roof of such a house on the top of the hill. That house had a high class interior with tiled walls and a beautiful clinker floor.
