Today the reasonable urbanism series continues with a trip to the urban mountains. Well, mountains of a sort… For a city, the mountain landscape here is spectacular. Walking out of the metro station and down into the valley, I pass through a deep forest. Peeking through the foliage here and there are hints of the lower mountains. Thirty seconds later, there is a clearing where one can armire the full rise of the mountains, low hills in the foreground, transitioning to multiple rows of taller peaks. A few of these higher peaks are forested, but most show their stone or clay faces, nooks, protrusions, and enclaves. Flags wave from many of these spots, laundry drying in the breeze.
