CIMG2079 A courtyard where I grew up

CIMG2079 Just so the previous two pictures would not give a wrong impression that I grew up in a gloomy, gothy place, here is a more representative picture of the courtyard where I grew up. The house of the left is a house where our apartment was. There was a lot of green space there. But I was always a little envious of the kids who lived in those recessed, mysterious niches as shown in the two pictures above.
