Up On the Rooftop, European Style

 

Saint Nick gets to see rooftops all around the world.  The rest of us, not so much.

Here are a few rooftops from my corner of the globe.

And, just in case Santa is reading, please don’t forget this neighborhood:

And, one more note:

That roof belongs to naughtly neighbors. (They threw a liquor bottle in our bushes, I'm just saying. . .)

  1. It is beautiful, isn’t it? Thanks. I took that photo in the early hours of the morning in early December. The weatherman says we may wake up to the same scene tomorrow morning–I’m keeping my fingers crossed and my camera ready! Merry Christmas!

    1. I’m guessing their teenage son is the culprit. You know those crazy teenagers… Please don’t say “dogpoopapult” in my son’s presence; it will just give him ideas! Happy New Year!
