Returning to Europe I realize how much I miss the mansard roof.

So much like a building with a hat pulled over its ears. They make me think of student lofts where impecunious poets are seized by nocturnal inspiration.
Then there are the sixteenth century stepped gable roofs.

The ultimate roof as a facade, stepped gables were a way of separating buildings with some style. It still works. It’s hard not to stroll the streets of Ghent without pausing to admire.

How many gummies do
You take before these walks ?😁
