I have always admired the red tiled roofs in so many Italian cities, towns and villages. These pictures from Bern are as special. I think what makes them work so well is the steep slanting forms, a motif that may come from the safety of human populations by mountains and in caves.

Thanks, Paul for sharing these two views.

Thanks, Asher. It's a beautiful city, I just wish I could have spent more time there...
