19 - Finding ways from their nodes
We previously looked at how to use the > operator to find members of ways.
But we can also go the opposite way and find ways from their nodes. We can do
this using the "recurse up" statement (<) which, as the arrow might suggest, goes in the
opposite direction.
This query finds all of the nodes in our bounding box and also the ways of which they are members.
There's also a << statement that will traverse from nodes all the way up to
the relations that contain them.
