Opposite to the former Maiden Gymnasium the gorup of road menders repairs the street.This time huge stone blocks layed down between the tram rails and pavement. Small catepillar transporting heavy stones. Some months ago similar percussive composition was produced while the pavement was renewed on the opposite side. Pecking of the hammers on the stones accompanied by the roar of the engine and ringing of the trams creates a challenging musical score.
