Gates

beautiful metal fencework. Thankfully no scum has tried to haul it off for a dollar at the scrap yard. I wish I could afford a fence like that!!!

Tranquille

Andy

The Ivy will eventually choke out and kill the trees, just like Kudzu does here in the South Eastern USA. The trees are twisted like that because there are too many of them in the area, and as they grow larger they will twist and lean in an attempt to get more sun.

Alley Way

Andy

If it was not for the pink dumpster, I would expect a Kubelwagen or a nice BMW with a machine gun side car to come wheeling around the corner, through the arch, and slide to a halt outside the door.

Fahrradergometer

Andy

I think that is what we call a "stress test" in the USA, most of the time performed on a treadmill. Used to test physical fitness and fitness for duty for some jobs such as police and firefighters.

Divide

Andy

Those railings look terrible, probably some government required "improvement" for the sake of "safety". I bet the originals were much nicer.
