spring is comming soon...

Posted by colonia on 11 January 2008 in English.

just back from a three-hours-night-cycling tour throug cologe.
First Ossendorf, later Vogelsang (translated: Birds-Voices or similar).
Some parts of Ossendorf already went throu the local media as beeing a ghetto, today i have been there, and yes, its pretty strage there. Too many 4-level-flats
packed too close together. And its going to e packed even further, construction is in progress.

There are two parts of Vogelsang, "Steinkauzweg" in the north, with 4-layer-flats, not too far from Ossendorf and the remaining - more posh part.
A huge uniform area. Long one-way-streets and dead-end-streets.
Yes, and everyone in this area at the end of a dead-end-stret has got motion-detector triggered lamps. One positive aspect: no nasty barking dogs.

Tracks and Map comming soon.

There were brights stars tonight and its getting warm.
Maybe i im wrong, but i renember some frogs making some noise at the dead end of some muddy cycle way. Spring is comming.

Oh, a stupid beginners question:
if there is a branch of one street, how do i map this?
Is it better to leave the side-arms un-labled or should i make it like this here "Erlenweg":
