Cambridge cows: Centuries-old city centre grazing 'in doubt' Cattle on Cambridge's commons are a familiar sight, but the council is proposing cuts to services.

nothing worse than a city with no trees (and buildings too far apart), in summer, in the asphalt and cement, i die (or run away)

meanwhile Cambridge: meadows and cow www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-engl...

photo of Porec in Istria, a small Adriatic town with an old roman centre and mediteranean style buildings with many small windows, in the middle is a park with some very short very green sterile glass, two benches, and two evergreen trees, a blue fire hydrant, and some old rock structures, maybe roman maybe middleage

this is cities in Istria (and yes mostly the city centers) but also in summer most of our lawns die from drought unless watered like crazy

found a random example of "LAWNS" in a walking area in the city i went to high school in lol, this is very typical
