Weird Angles

Because my balcony is only 10 feet by 3 feet it is very hard to get perspective. I find my best viewing angle is to lean out my daughter's window and look at the balcony from the side. If I try to look up from the street you can't see much, because it is on the third floor. And if I try to take it in sitting out there, I am so close I am seeing all trees and no forest. For taking pictures, I often find I like the shots from above a container, because it gives you that sense of layers that an actual garden has.
