For part of my time in Darmstadt, Germany, I lived in the attic of a
sports hall. The hall was located in a small area named Kranigstein.
When I first got to know the place, it was completely surrounded
by a farm, which made it quite unusual in that area. Unfortunately,
progress always has its way, not to mention what money does, and the
farmer sold his field to someone who built a large housing complex
there.
This picture captures the stark, sometimes jagged, sometimes razor-edged,
lines of that construction site. Such sites always seem to be
full of straight, intersecting, perpendicular lines, where only two
colors, light and shadow, rule.
