Uploaded on 2015-04-18 by FronaHavokFra
I had taken this photo yesterday at 8:30 p.m. This is my neighborhood at Coruña, Spain, called flowers neighborhood because all the streets have a flower name. Visible information about this place: people in the street, cars parked, large buildings, shops, streets with fluid traffic.... it's day it's raining invisible information about this place: during most part of day ther are a lot of people and, in this photo I took at 8:30 pm the inhabitants still working, since 9:00 am until 8:00 am the shops are open, the working day in Spain is very extensive. It's day yet! a month ago we changed the schedule for UTC + 2, but I think this is a mistake. Galicia should have the same time zone as portugal by its geographical position. The hours of daylight affect the inhabitants lifestyle's and in Galicia this is detrimental. We woke up late and went to bed late. It's April! and still raining! the people are dressed in winter clothes! in Galicia the spring don't exist, winter extends for nine months, and summer it's three months. Flowers neighborhood hasn't underground parking One tower - 12 floors x 4 apartments per floor = 48 homes 40 towers x 48 homes = 1920 homes 1920 homes = 1920 cars 1920 cars x 5 meters x 2.4 meters = 23,040 square meters of parking. All these parks are exterior, 23040 square meters are lost in parking cars, rather than fill them with green spaces. People who aren't from the neighborhood has no place to parking. I apologize for my bad English, I'm making an extra effort to do this course that isn't in my native language ! [1]: https://edxuploads.s3.amazonaws.com/14293735333417346.jpg
