If it's raining, then I see rain. But that's not what I was thinking of. It's there despite the weather.

Having looked at google I would think that trees and roads and some seventies brutalist architecture are most likely.
Street view version in Germany seems to have a lot of pixelated out areas. Thank God somewhere does not accept that google is entitled to every scrap of information available in the world.

Trees are part of the view. But they are not the main theme. Thank god I'm not looking on brutalist concrete architecture. Unfortunately, I'm looking out of a 1960ies brutalist building.LGTrotter wrote:Having looked at google I would think that trees and roads and some seventies brutalist architecture are most likely.

It's quite an old one and was closed in 1876.
It's not Worringen.

Yes, that's it. Although it's a cemetery, it's a rather pleasant view with all the big trees. Sometimes you can even see squirrels running up those trees. It's a small green oasis in a desert of concrete and asphalt. And the dead are rather quiet neighbours.djewesbury wrote:Geusenfriedhof

Based on everything you told us in that last round I believe that you work in the building on the corner of Gymnicherstr. and Kerpenerstr. The one with the interesting concrete car-park on the corner, shown here.
