Roofs - Marka, Jordan

This was the rooftop of our apartment building in Marka, Jordan. Notice the big satellite dishes. You would be hard pressed to find a rooftop in Jordan without several satellite dishes on it.  

Someone had put some old couches on our shared rooftop in Marka. We never sat on them. I imagine that if we had, a huge cloud of dust would have billowed out of them. 

This was one of the views from our rooftop. Notice the clothes hanging out to dry on our neighbor's apartment building.

This is another view from the rooftop of our apartment building in Marka. Because buildings are built on hillsides, they are terraced, making it easy for a person above to look down onto someone else's rooftop. This would have been the case with David gazing upon Bathsheba. His roof was no doubt a higher elevation than Bathsheba's.
