Taiwan 2024 - Perfect View of Chenjean's Village

For the longest time I've struggled to get a decent picture of Chenjean's village, and finally found it.  Took a hike by myself up a road until it ended close to the top of the mountain.  Then, on the way down, I saw the perfect view.  Trouble was, it was from the patio of a house that was currently occupied.  It was a large patio that extended to about 50 feet from the house, so I thought What the heck, I'll just walk over there and take the picture.

And that's what I did.  Making my way down a semi-lengthy driveway, I passed an open window from which the sound of a radio could be heard.  Nobody yelled at me, and I didn't get shot, so I continued onto the property.  Positioning myself on the far edge of the patio I snapped a few, including the one you see above.  This was fairly zoomed in; the picture below shows what it looked like zoomed all the way out:

Curious as to what my perch looked like from the town looking up, I took the following two pics.  Looking closely at the first one you can see the banana leaves that are in the foreground above:

From the same position in town I zoomed all the way out:

While I'm at it, here's a pic of Chenjean at the intersection of the two main roads along which sits her little town, the place where she grew up since the second grade.  Her house is the first one behind the big purple umbrella:
