WALK ON / the wild side

TOMORROW THE MAIN STREET Angermannagatan (Straits Street/BaymanSt/6th Avenue/MiniEsplanade/NewWallSt) will be opened, and on account of that I have taken a walk through and around the street tonight with the aim to do some photo documentation. The 3D picture above with the two towers (Duo DesignTowers) at Arevagen-crossing, modeled in SketchUP 3D for Google Maps, is made by P. E Riksson who I really would like to credit alot.

Avenue from the french language, means major street often with trees surrounding it. Esplanade also a french world: broad street with trees or plants in between the separated driving fields. The street is often surrounded by important buildings. Boulevarde is often used at the European continent and Esplanade in Scandinavia.
