Title

Close-knit homes on a sloped street

Description

Exterior view of four homes located on an unidentified street in Los Angeles. The houses sit on a somewhat steep slope and are extremely close to one another. The single-story house on the left is inundated with numerous plants both hanging and potted, covering most of the front entrance. The two-story home next to it has a few peculiarities: the second story looks as if it is "floating" above the ground floor; also on the second story you'll notice the placement of a barn-style door, which looks as if it doesn't belong there, since there are no stairs leading to it; and, the rooftop is completely surrounded by a wooden picket fence. The two houses to the right of the photo are shingle style homes.
