Here's another look at the Anchorhead balcony, this time from the north side of the building. This is the direct opposite side of the complex from where the landspeeder arriving at Mos Eisley was filmed.
In this pivotal moment, Biggs tells Luke that he's joining the Rebellion. Luke then blurts this out to all of Anchorhead.
This little outbuilding is also present in the courtyard. Although I don't believe it had any screen time, it certainly has a Tatooine "look" to it. We saw this kind of domed architecture all over the island of Djerba.
The odd "ripples" seen on the roof from this angle were also much in evidence elsewhere on Djerba. Most notably for Star Wars fanatics, the roof of the shack that served as the exterior of Ben Kenobi's house has these ripples.
This photo was taken back near where the landspeeder arrival was shot, after we'd walked all the way around the building. (In reality, I should note, we actually walked all the way around this complex what seemed like six or eight or 10 times, dumbly repeating, "This is so cool! This is so cool!")
