Big City

The taller the buildings, the lesser the trees.

The are less than 200 days left to the opening of Expo 2015.

Scouting Companions

Going around the endless maze of the Tall Town turns out to be enduring. Leveraging of the support of a group of young scouts is a plus: the quest never ends, energies regenerate behind each corner or soon after sipping from a fountain.

Building Tops of the Tall Town

Wandering through the streets of the Tall Town provides reasons for feeling strong physical and psychical emotions. To help this process out, the constant walking on uncertain cobblestone with the neck tilted back, looking at the tops. I always wonder how nice it must be, for the people living into those little rooms, sitting at the windowsill in a cold December afternoon and staring at the big picture coming in through the glass.

Tall Trees of the Tall Town

The Tall Town has necessarily little space for trees. It is surrounded by woods, up and down hill but the old buildings were pulled up one leaning to the next one. The alleys of its maze were made large enough to only let a chariot pass through. Yet, in the orchards of some lucky mansions, a cypress was planted to slowly nd silently reach the sky over the red tiles of the roofs.

Gates of the Tall Town

Alleys, narrow lanes, old gates. Where history overlays, bricks over marbles, plasters of different ages. Surprisingly there's still someone who has time to sit on the doorsteps of an old palace and open a paper book.
