Bad habits are easily formed. They take little effort. We seem to naturally develop bad habits.  

But developing a GOOD HABIT demands a tremendous amount of FOCUS, CONSISTENCY, and DETERMINATION. 

Roofs - Old City, Jerusalem

We photographed these rooftops from the Tower of David in Jerusalem's Old City. 

Roofs - Muslim Quarter, Old City, Jerusalem

Family Atop Roof - Husn, Jordan

This is a view of Husn, Jordan, where we lived.
Notice the roof of the home in the foreground. 

This family was making good use of their rooftop.
The man in red and black was praying on a rug.
The children were playing and had two bicycles on the roof.
