The last of the Rampa

This is probably the last photo you will see on this blog of what was once the rampa na kruszywa. The steel structure went a couple of weeks ago, since then, Jeziorki has resounded to the distant repetitive knocking of the pneumatic hammers taking down the concrete piers. Six have gone, eight remain. I'm still none the wiser as to what will happen on this site once it's all been levelled with the ground.

Above: A higher resolution photo than that currently on Google Earth is available on the Warsaw city map server, dated summer 2005. I've aligned it north facing left, east facing top, to fit. Ul. Karczunkowska is on the left, the bus loop bottom left, just above W-wa Jeziorki station. This map only stretches as far south as Warsaw's border.

This time last year:
Jeziorki spared high-density development thanks to airport zoning
