2025-05-10 The beginning of May

I’ve been walking through the neighbourhood again, looking at flowers. Aargauerstrasse is particularly beautiful with the tram rails.

Aargauerstrasse has tram tracks running over some rocky grounds and in recent years, the city gardening department has let it grow in the most wonderful wild flowers.
