Seen from the churchyard. I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like this cluster of 'rooflets' - reminiscent of an old rickyard, or of a troop of fungi: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3145180 But for a few 21st century intrusions (including the cypress tree!) the scene could be a detail from an early Dutch or Flemish painting - Bosch perhaps, or Breughel.
