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. . .)

I love this photo because it has an eerie quality.  The cathedral at the end of the street looks hazy and spectral. . . so it seems like an appropriate photo to post on a foggy, cold day.
