In welchem Park lasst ihr im Norden die Seele baumeln?
Just before I snapped this photo, a whole bridal party emerged from the archway after evidently posing for pictures in the rain. It's a popular park for that, though I would have advised planning for rain for any outdoor stuff here in the Pacific Northwest.
Leider ist der kleine Park an der Vangerowstraße (OSM) von der oft stark befahrenen Mittermeierstraße mittig zerschnitten. An sich ist könnte er ein wunderbarer Ruhe- und Erholungspunkt sein, doch es krankt wie bei den meisten kleinen Parks in Heidelberg am stark motorisierten Verkehr. Den dieser bring neben viel Abgasen und Staub vor allen viel Lärm. Mit Tempo 30, einer dichten Hecke zur Straße hin und was optimal wäre, einer Verbindung zwischen den zwei Hälften des Parks, könnte hier eine richtige kleine Oase entstehen.
Another round of pics at the Chippewa Nature Center, a trail that my wife and I walked in which I thought looked really nice, and some pics of the cabin that was near the entrance of this section of the nature center. Shot in June, 2023.
Highway 1 remains closed after road collapsed in storm
A section of California’s Highway 1 – which winds along the state’s cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean – crumbled during a major storm on Saturday, the Associated Press reported.
The damaged road in Monterey county, near the #Big#Sur area of Northern California,🔸 stranded nearly 1,600 drivers overnight 🔸along the highway, until emergency crews could guide them along the damaged roadway the next morning.
Some stranded motorists were forced to sleep in their cars. Others stayed in local hotels being used as emergency shelters.
“Convoys will lead essential travelers through closure area daily at 8am and 4pm. Engineers on site to observe conditions. Crews working to stabilize edge of roadway,” authorities said.
California governor, Gavin Newsom, said on Sunday that his office was coordinating with several state agencies to address the slip-out, according to a statement on X.
[Fifty-something is fast indeed.
While, for a kid (once) like me, who sort of grew up on a motocross bike, doing outlandish speeds on cross-town trails --- they weren't modern multi-use paths but more dirt cow paths…
I guess the point of interest I'm actually pointing to is more a technical borderline that has quietly been overstepped without reaction from the State of California's DOT; Caltrans has no response to the borderline of deadly force being crossed, and seems to want to defer to this as a problems of #parks and #greenspace.
Statistically, I can project deaths will occur over time with those moving masses being driven in those limited dimension spaces. It's just math.
"Matter of Trust, an ecologically focused group in San Francisco, has been using hair for more than two decades to clean up oil spills and other pollution from bodies of water. Its latest project is encouraging the growth of vegetation in the Presidio in San Francisco, a national park site."
Last fall, dusk, the fountain of Montreal's Carré-St-Louis. The square is surrounded on three sides by homes & apartments... it borders a busy urban street, rue St-Denis. #citylife#Montreal#Quebec#parks#CityParks#Dusk
Ihr kennt diese Beton-#Spieltische, die es in #Parks gibt, oder? Also ein Tisch mit zwei Bänken, alles aus Beton und auf der Tischfläche sind ein oder mehrere Spielbretter von bekannten #Gesellschaftsspielen aufgemalt.
Kennt jemand einen Anbieter für sowas im #Saarland?
