Let's go out for a walk! Oh, I could kill for that house in the foreground! Just look at this wonderful roof terrace!
It is gorgeous and I know what you mean about the house.

@Michael Skorulski: I could immediately move into there :-)
It is a wonderful view!

@Craiger: The only problem there is to find a parking lot! :-)
Wow, great city scape.

@Kelly: You bet :-) But some of the effect results from the zoom I did here.
i love the course of the light intensity from the fore- to the background. And yes, dining on this terrace on a bit sweltering summer night with cold sparkling italian wine and some seafood would be acceptable ;)

@the lightwriter: This could save even a messy day, indeed :-)
That's our time share! We're there every May. ;-) All kidding aside, this is a great composition with a lot of depth. Beautiful shot of the cathedral.

@Steven: Thank you, Steven! If this was the house of somebody I know, this would greatly intensify our friendship ;-)
Ahhhh! this is an amazing view! A wonderful composition MS.

@MaryB: To live in this house would come very close to my fantasies of the proverbial 'good life'. *sigh*
Meet you on the roof for coffee!! Beautiful view

lovely view!!

@Kaddy: Thank you, Kaddy :-)
I totally agree! Great house - you have captured the landscape well!

@Ina: Thank you: this was an extreme zoom.
OK, fahrn wir hin und hol´n uns die Hütte ;-) Da ist wohl noch Platz für den einen oder anderen Farn... Ich bin dabei!

@Michael: Aber hallo! Ich habe nur die Befürchtung, daß Rocco und seine Brüder was dagegen haben werden ;-)
What a nice buildings! I really like the fog in front of the biger building!

@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)!
Beautiful shot.

@Twelvebit: Thanks! I was standing on one of Rome's hills and suddenly had this fantastic sight.
I don't know how comfortable that house might be inside (I mean sanitary installations, hot water and heating which are a problem in old buildings), BUT...I totally agree that the terrace is a delight! I saw this use of the upper floors and roofs in Italy for relaxation in a variety of shots from the peninsula. The houses in the southern half tend to indulge in this view over the city (and to the sea, when it is the case).I really like the way you managed to focus on this house in the foreground! It has a rather exotic look!

@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. :-)
well, who cares about sanitation when you have a view like that! I don't))) really good photo, MS:)

@gandz: Never underestimate sanitation (lesson learned from a former tenancy)! :-)
I tell you what, I'd like to be living in that place in the foreground.

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