Urban Patterns: 2 Walks in 1 Day

When I thought about the shape I'd like to walk, I thought it would be interesting to survey the busiest parts of my Sellwood/Moreland neighborhood. I walked a rectangle twice in one day, morning and evening. It was one of the hottest days and I noticed how peoples' patterns had changed with the heat. In the morning, it was very quiet. A bench with a view over Oaks Bottom (in drawing) was a quieter spot than usual. As it began to cool down near dusk, on my second walk, the neighborhood was bustling. Everyone chose to be outside in the cool of the evening, shopping, exercising, gardening, hanging out on porches.
