A village on the hill

Forty-three houses, stepped up the foothill.

A village of pale flat-roofed stone houses stepped up a foothill in rows, with dark oaks scattered across the golden slope above.

A stepped mountain village now climbs the north foothill in six contour rows. Its houses have whitewashed masonry walls under timber beams and flat earth roofs, each roof about a story below the row above.

Looking down over flat earth roofs edged with timber beams: plastic water tanks, a satellite dish, a clay jar, sacks and a straw-roofed shade, with oaks on the dry hillside beyond.

The roofs are lived on, with beds set out for summer nights, washing lines, water tanks, satellite dishes, woodpiles and straw shades. Lanes, stone stairs and dry-stone terrace walls link the rows, and oaks stand around them.

Down on the road, the family home gets its services: split air conditioners, a meter and breaker box, and a cable up to the service line.
