sloped roofs
Tilted building tops
Sloped roofs are roofs that are angled rather than flat, allowing water, snow, and debris to run off rather than accumulate.
The degree of slope, called pitch, varies widely depending on climate, architectural style, and roofing materials.
Steeper pitches are common in areas with heavy snowfall, while gentler slopes suit warmer, drier regions.
The sloped roofs of the old farmhouses gave the valley its distinctive character.
