stairs, concrete, graffiti

Angular momentum

Stairs from the Westspange bridge leading to down the Bürgerpark (Citizen's park) — more used by graffiti sprayers than pedestrians.

  1. Ah, good old concrete structures.

    How come the peds don't use this so much? Is there another, more convenient, way to get down to the park?

    These are stairs leading down from the Westspange bridge, which serves mainly as a three-lane highway to bring cars to and from the autobahn. Pedestrians will usually find a more pleasant way to cross the Saar.

  5. 1986 and still using ugly concrete! We have a lot of that around Sydney. Visually it does not last the test of time, descending in cold ugliness that is only every enlivened by graffiti.

    You have, at lease, managed to find a pleasing flow to the stairs and their balaustrade.

    That was the Westspange. In 1996, when they built the Ostspange, they had graduated to blue metal.

  7. The stairs are nice enough so that I didn't really notice the graffiti.

  8. These are all from your phone camera? That's very impressive! I like your style, too.

  9. Cet escalier est tellement moche qu'il devient presque joli ;) C'est un peu l'ambience de Nowa Huta - le quartier ouvrier et industriel que le communistes ont construit tout pres de Cracovie.
