Photo: Paradise Valley hilltop home

This is a true hilltop home.  It straddles the top of a desert knoll in Paradise Valley, with views to both the north and south, although the architect included a blank wall with no windows to the west, the direction from which this photo was taken.

Perhaps the architect was trying to avoid sun coming in through the windows, but west is my favorite view because of the spectacular desert sunsets.

Tomorrow will be the final installment in my little series of Paradise Valley hillside homes.

We are showing photos of the bottom of the temples of Siem Reap, Cambodia on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site this week.
