Outside the walls

In 2025 I spent hours on two days, walking outside the city walls. First clockwise, later anticlockwise for another half. I tried to get locations right. Only one camera had GPS and a 28-300 mm zoom lens, the other I used for wide-angle (14-24) pictures. Of course, pictures were taken advancing to, passing and looking back to walls, towers and other elements. I came up with a “system” where I added letters to stretches of wall, sometimes adding references like the names of towers I passed. I now group my earlier pictures using this new system (probably making some mistakes). As (again) parts of the walls were being restored or fenced off because of falling stones some stretches are better represented than others.
