But it turned out that this late in the year, the sun doesn't make it over the neighbour's trees. Still a nice day though.
This is one of the reasons I think it would be good to have reforested cities with narrow towers poking up above the trees throughout. From the roof-patios, it would look like there was a city of small buildings peppering the top of the forest canopy, but underneath the canopy, there would be lots of low-light gardens and narrow roads/paths between the trunks. Towers could be connected with pedestrian bridges and zip-lines at different levels, as long as the canopy stayed robust, thick, and contiguous.
