#Monomad Challenge - A city of concrete

Good evening, #Monomad friends

If you live in a city, all you have to do is stop for a while and you'll be able to spot real cities within cities. Each one seems to be governed by its own rules and routines. The other day, on my way out to visit the city of Coimbra, I caught an early train at Oriente Station. The bustle of a small community that was more reminiscent of communities of small insects... was gradually awakening. The corridors, staircases and common spaces of the intermodal station were gradually filling up... scratched by the hurried footsteps of those who, in an almost non-reflective way, rode their automated bikes without noticing anything... Many were just thinking that they had another day ahead of them... And that there were still four days until the weekend. And you too, do you feel like a little ant, trying to do what it's told, without stopping to think, or without trying to understand the whirlwind of steps and movements?

We try to take as few steps as possible, but we're not even thinking about them... We just take them. To get from one point to another... Not even looking at our surroundings.

I hope you enjoyed my post here in the B&W community
