Ghostcity on Tour! Part 2: Sudden free day...

Working and recherching for Ghostcity somehow opened my eyes concerning architecture.
Remember this entry?
Around that time it started.
Having grown up in more or less rural surroundings I have this huge longing for idyllic spaces, for wood, meadows, sheep in the backyard...
But somehow this is beautiful as well:



Olvenstedt, part of Magdeburg. It's rather weird to stroll through the streets, as so many houses have been teared down already, so many more are empty. It was sunday around noon, and no one was on the streets. Just those huge green spaces, many trees, and houses that nearly appeared to be lost in those greening surroundings.
We stumbled over a handball tournament later, which explained the extreme emptyness on the streets, but still.
Ghostcity gone green.
