Overwhelming


The first thing that came to mind when I looked at satellite pictures of Kringlan and the area which we are working with, is how overwhelming the concrete and the asphalt is.

When I walked around the area which I have kind of never done before, that overwhelming feeling stuck with me.

I felt like everything revolved around the cars and how they can drive around.

It was not as easy to walk around.

The huge mass of the buildings was hanging over me.
I felt like I was constantly hitting a wall.
There was no pathway.
There was something in my way.
Could I be there?
I had to watch out.

I wonder how much concrete and asphalt have been used in the area and I intend to find out.
