My family and I started living in the Pergola District in November 2019. The ‘Pergolenviertel’ is located in Hamburg, Germany and about 1400 residential flats will be part to the district. This photo blog is about the experience of being one of the first residents in a new community built from scratch.

Walking in a little more light

Walking in a little more light

When walking around the last week, it is noticeable what difference lighting in public spaces makes. The walk from the S-Bahn is a lot less daunting, so is bringing out the rubbish. Walking across the building site is still eery later in the evening, there are certainly improvements since a month ago though. We managed to forget the glow collars from Barking and Forgetful during our Christmas travels. I miss the little beacons in the dark in front of me and shall ask my Mum if she has spotted them in her house.
