Roofs and roofscapes show the character of a city and the countryside from a distance and shape its face. They are a visible sign of creativity and individuality.
'Roof Symphony' by Frank Daske
Architects and engineers develop new perspectives for the roof design of clay roof tiles, daylight roofs, metal, wooden or stone roofing as well as green roofs in order to perfect roof landscapes technically, functionally and creatively.

Looking down to beautiful roofs from above has always fascinated photographers: From a distance, things change their value; many things shrink, others grow or develop abstract qualities.

But it doesn't always have to be aerial perspective, beautiful roof can be observed and photographed also from the ground level.

Roofs also hide many interesting details, in architecture there are often small details that have something to do with the origin, the uniqueness or the meaning of a building.

And there is often much more to discover in the roofscapes: buildings, tower or other interesting objects in the background that fit into the frame and should be assigned to the scene.

'Red Roofs' by Miro Susta
In the foreground, a part of a building is pushed into the picture, which is otherwise not to be seen, and in general many things look different from above.
While viewing the roof landscape, one is sometimes forced to change the position and automatically attempts to understand the angle of view.
Once one has reoriented oneself, it is possible to look at the scene in a relaxed manner and capture it again.
