From an early age, I realized that things are usually forbidden because some people hate fun and excitement. Our rooftop is no exception as it offers fantastic views of the city skyline and the undulating expanse of the city's neighborhoods.
Luckily, on Saturday night we did have an emergency- a beautiful sunset that required picture taking- and had a valid excuse to access the rooftop. Enjoy the fruits of our
