Fascinating. Is there a purpose or are the bottles meant to be decorative? I think that's one of the functions but I can also imagine that it would be cheaper than an all concrete wall and also a way to lighten an interior. Given the building that had this wall I photographed, I'd say it was

Thanks for looking, Paul, Bob and Rick! It is an interesting roof, and certainly caught my eye. I believe the tiles are slate or some other stone, rather than wood. Bob, while it is not the roof of the Van Gogh house in Auvers, it is the roof of a shed or other small structure right next to it.
