WPC : Pedestrian

Most great cities have a pedestrian mall or street. In 1976, the city of Adelaide converted part of one of its major streets, Rundle Street, to a pedestrian zone, Rundle Mall. The number of pedestrians to be seen varies with the weather, the day of the week and time of day.

WPC : Windows

This week, it is suggested we use a window as a frame. In a contrarian mood, an evolving scientist chose to explore aspects of windows, in and around Saint Petersburg. Firstly, looking through the windows of an historic residence.
