Above the Rooftops of Rome

@Michael Skorulski: I could immediately move into there :-)

@Craiger: The only problem there is to find a parking lot! :-)

@Kelly: You bet :-) But some of the effect results from the zoom I did here.

@the lightwriter: This could save even a messy day, indeed :-)

@Steven: Thank you, Steven! If this was the house of somebody I know, this would greatly intensify our friendship ;-)

@MaryB: To live in this house would come very close to my fantasies of the proverbial 'good life'. *sigh*

@Jen: Very good idea, Jen :-) Glad you like it!

@Kaddy: Thank you, Kaddy :-)

@Ina: Thank you: this was an extreme zoom.

@Michael: Aber hallo! Ich habe nur die Befürchtung, daß Rocco und seine Brüder was dagegen haben werden ;-)

@Porcsin: The big church in the background is St. Peter's. I did an extreme zoom here, stretching for several house blocks. And, yes, these buildings are simply great (but unaffordable)!

@Twelvebit: Thanks! I was standing on one of Rome's hills and suddenly had this fantastic sight.

@Japanalia: You're right: old houses sometimes are just nightmares! I'm living in a rather old house from the 30s and still encounter problems with heating and drainpipes, even after several repairs! ;-(
This Italian house has a terrace that is part of the flat and not just an attached balcony. I imagine warm summer nights where you just might step out of the living room on that terrace and the whole city is at your feet. This must be wonderful. :-)

@gandz: Never underestimate sanitation (lesson learned from a former tenancy)! :-)

@Twelvebit: Me too! But I think this building is in permanent possession since the year one :-)
