Pictures from Sweden & Norway
Tonight is the last night of our holiday to Scandinavia. My wife and I have had a wonderful time. Over the next week, I will post as many pictures as I am able on this thread. Where applicable, I will also add comments relevant to Mars colonisation as well. Both holidays this year my wife and I have visited European cities. Here on Earth, cities tend to be built on rivers or coastal areas, as this allows easy transport of bulk freight into urban areas. Cities are also surrounded by farmland and countryside. People can live outside of the city in a suburb, for example, and commute into the city for work or culture. None of that will apply on Mars. Cities will be dense urban cores. There will be no countryside outside. These places will be lone oases of warmth, air and water, against a frozen, vacuum landscape, bathed in hard radiation.

Re: Pictures from Sweden & Norway
These images are from Gamla Stan (Old Town), Stockholm.
Image 1. This side street is exactly what I imagine Martian city streets to look like. Narrow, pedestrian, with overspill seating for bars and restaurants.
