Hi there and welcome to our community!

It’s helpful if you can learn to describe the issues you’re facing, including any error messages you see. Not only is this a crucial skill in coding but also, the more you say, the more we can help!

Your div elements look fine to me but you haven’t quite followed the instructions fully:

Nest three new div elements in the .background-buildings container

Thank you. This is my first time posting. I was trying to figure out how to describe my challenge but I didn’t get it. I’m sure I will figure it out with time…

The challenge I am facing is that I don’t know what is wrong with my code and why it didn’t pass. I followed the instructions to nest three divs within the .background-buildings class. I have gone over it more than ten times already!
Please, help me figure this out.

So sorry, I misread what you’d done with your code earlier. Your issue is that you have a duplicate div in the code above the ones you just added (check the classes).
So, if you remove that one unnecessary div, your code will pass.

It passed!

Thanks so much.
