More recently, we told the readers of the Culturology. Ru blog about the most crooked street in the world. And now, when the yellow leaves, rustling, fall right under our feet, it's time to talk about the most autumn road in the world … This road is in London and has thousands of wonderful maple leaves embedded in it. And the most amazing thing is that this road became autumnal almost by accident.
At first glance it seems that london road painted by some artist who loves autumn very much: the street is neatly covered with a layer of leaves inseparable from the asphalt. Meanwhile, the secret of the road is very simple. The road services recently cut out a piece of old asphalt in this place and laid a new one. While he was hot and sticky, he was attacked by many autumn leaves … The next day, when the cars finally hit the leaves on the road, astonished passers-by saw the incredibly maple asphalt.
So, practically without human effort, a new way of organic printing on the road surface was invented, and autumn street flew around the English, and not only, the media. The photographer, who noticed and gifted this miracle to millions of British newspaper readers, called it "carpet embroidered by motorists and cars", although perhaps it would be more accurate to say "carpet embroidered by itself."
London windshield wipers still cannot sweep the maple autumn road … Or maybe they don’t want to.
