Celebrating third week with omicron* pushing out some sidewalk paving on this one. I will most likely end up toning down the lines of the sidewak somewhat, seeing as they are - of everything in view - the farthest away.
Gonna have to work out what to do with the elevated tracks (i.e. beams or no beams for the topside). There is time for that now, however, since I used colour key to cut out parts of the contours of the sleepers where the rail runs. I really like breaking contours of a to-the-back element when something crosses over it, but it just takes forever when you do it manually (i.e. fake-lifting the pen for each sleeper).
*I lost olfactory more or less entirely, which is not great but also not terrible: between no scent and taste, and everything tasting like **** I am kind of glad it's the former to be honest.

Looking good, Hans :)
I very much hope you are well onto the road of recovery right now, though!
Messing around with less transparent for an exclusive number of "details". I like the contrast, but I don't reckon I will keep the brightest-brown edge there. It's nowhere near as dirty as it needs to be - considering the proximity to the tracks: I'm living right on top of a tram stop and the particles you get from a track make window-cleaning a bit of a sisyphean task.
Window conditions (and walls, floors, ceilings, roads, pavements, tree-trunks, etc.) used to be a lot worse when all the trains were all coal-powered - not that that helps, I know...
It's a blessing! :) According to the municipal air quality map we also live juuuust off a big red vein; a road coming off the highway which cuts through town, some 500 meters away. If the trickle vents are anything to go by we really ought to move elsewhere :D
