Pleasantville

I live now at the University of Connecticut. This campus is huge, but full of contradictions or rather a lot of advantages and disadvantages. Pretty comparable with a american suburb, the place is composed of
many settlements with row houses, endless backstone buildings and perfect looking lawns. Cleaniness and order creats a smug and artificial atmosphere, which makes me feel like living in pleasantville. This is changing already and will be over when the arrivals of the american students at the weekend resurrect the campus. However, on the other hand it is a really beautiful area regarding nature and vegetation. There are not only a lot of great spots on the campus like the amazing lakes. The whole campus is surrounded by forests, which provide silence and enable a deep breathe. As soon as I have a bike I will take a ride through the marvelous woods. As the shot below indicates, although it is pretty fuzzy, I met even some deers on my way...
