May 28: Vnà 2
I thoroughly explored Vnà. It's small enough to walk just about every street in a short time.

A divergence of roads and materials.

Whoo! Quite a workout up here.
6938

Not too shabby of a view.
6939

A curious pavement transition,
6940

and beyond that a very pleasantly enclosed street space.
6942

A rather artistic composition of grate and covers. "Giesserei" means foundry.

The solidity of the walls and the curve of the street makes for such a great feel to the space. Camillo Sitte would have loved this spot.
6947

Another lovely enclosed space. The perspective in the lower left is kind of confusing.

This appears to be Vnà's central square, given the variety of signage.
6950

An unusual (for the Engadin) little saltbox, just hangin' back.
6951

This is what's known in urban design as a "hamster slide."
6954

Garden, parking, roofs, and valley oh and a Blockbau birdhouse omg that's adorable

Are these ducts hay vacuums? I think that must be it. This one is fighting with the adjacent gutter for space between the buildings.
6959

A sophisticated assemblage of retaining walls and inn.
6962

Another hamster slide.
6963

This fountain was having its 100th birthday party with a car, a hose, and a littered bottle.
6966

Welp, guess that's that. (The road actually continues up La Brancla past this turnaround, it just dips out of view for a sec.)
6970

Now this looks like a pretty good avalanche resistor.
6974

I walked up the western road a short distance; here an upper view thence of Vnà and the Engadin beyond.
6978

A curious little plot before some subtle terraces.
