Wonderful. Hardly a car in sight.

Relaxed pedestrians and cyclists just wandering from one side of the rails to the other in front of the tram. Road cleaners as well. Did people have a death wish then? And cyclists giving hand signals when do you see that these days?

I'm pleased I persevered and watched it all the way through. It would have been easy to say it's all the same but there's always something to catch your eye. One pedestrian at the end was caught by surprise and could have been injured or worse.

The architecture and buildings are just amazing.

Although I'm alone I couldn't help but applaud.

Thanks so much for posting.

Presumably, the Summer of '39??

Before the 'clouds of war' engulfed Europe.. Makes it even more poignant..
