My Neighbourhood

In one of our recent language sessions, we walked around my neighbourhood and took pictures of various things that we wanted to learn the names of. I won't share those pictures since they are rather boring, but that activity has inspired me to share a few other other pictures of my neighbourhood instead.

This is the entrance to my subdivision. My house is one of the blue roofs on the right-hand side.

My neighbours often come out to socialize in the evening after the sun has gone down. 

My subdivision is built on a crazy hill. I don't feel like I've been able to adequately capture its steepness in photographs, but this view of my roof-top from half-way up the hill will give you some idea of what I'm talking about. (My American friends liken the hills here to San Francisco hills, if that means anything to you...)

The view makes it worth the effort to walk up that hill!

But sometimes the view looks a little more like this... It seems that someone is always burning something around here. Sometimes they set the whole hillside on fire (usually just after I hang my sheets out to dry!). I'm not really sure why... Anyway, the top of the hill gives a beautiful view of the sunset, with or without the smoke! :-)
