Snapping pics of other people's rooftops may seem like a creepy pastime, but for New York photographer Justin Williams, it's an innocent exercise in wish fulfillment.

"These are just my lustful desires manifested through a powerful zoom lens," exclaims Williams, who says that taking photos of luxurious high-rise gardens and grounds help quell his craving for real estate he can't afford.

Check out Williams' collection of cool roofs and send us pics of your favorite chill-out space.
