And I thought I lived on a steep hill! At least these unfortunate homeowners don’t have cars. The way down would definitely be more treacherous than Broad Street.
Please note that I did NOT create this whimsical winter landscape illustration.
Digital illustration (or regular illustration, for that matter) is not a skill set that I possess.
