appeal of country life...

PASSING THOUGHT: I had a fear of high rises, major sport+concert events, pubs, tourist hot spots+summer-crowded beaches...But sometimes I braved one or two (mainly the last 2). That was pre-covid. Now, I don't even consider one, opting for ex-city, country life space very soon...

outdoor urban spaces...

Is this a great time to re-think outdoor urban spaces?...Reduce the machines and give people space? https://t.co/61hrVi6JOK pic.twitter.com/bSImCKKl3y

when urban areas mirror rural worlds...

Urban areas need not be divorced from rural worlds...It's possible to cultivate mini versions...I knew of one community garden in Melbourne's Blackburn area, land near the Monash freeway...But why not many+varied...Organic produce in urban areas can foster organic connections... https://t.co/mUGU99btl0 pic.twitter.com/mNnckjDFEY

a charming urban area?...

I never thought I would say that an urban setting is pretty... But this one is beyond pretty...It is charming...like a community nesting... And I see no cars? buses? trains? That minus MUST be a plus... https://t.co/ZYquDomglp

Dragør is on the beautiful island of Amager.
Houses are from the 1700's.
The town's economy depends mostly on fishing...

One time I enjoy urban worlds is when it rains...and the colours come out to play in many strange places...

males need females for health...

Planting selective urban trees may increase urban allergies such as hayfever. Higher CO2 levels also cause plants to bloom more, which means even higher pollen counts where predominantly male trees reside. Male sans female trees means pollen is unchecked.https://t.co/hxGPY53IVl
