Sky Watch Friday

ALONG THE DANUBE NEAR VIENNA

Last Sunday,
my friend Brigitte and I took a walk trough the wetlands along the Danube near Vienna,
crossed the river at a hydropower plant, watched the cormorants, and passed by backwaters where the sun slowly set under a winter sky.








Watch the sky around the globe!

Maria, yourphotos are so beautiful, each on the same theme but sodifferent and with its own charm.In der Adventszeit wo man eher sinnlich sein moechte, ist man immer zeitpressiert. Bei uns hat's auch noch 2 Geburtstage:Unsserer Tochter 50ter, mein Mann am 23ten und fuer gut Mass, Enkeltochter am 28ten. und noch ein Enkel am 4ten. Jenner.
Feste eiern wie sie fallen int ja schoen aber leider muss man auch Vorbereitungen treffen.
Ueberarbeite dich nicht.

I usually have a favourite straight away...now I can't pick!

The bird photo is amazing, and I love it. But the last one has such lovely colours in it, and is so beautiful...they're ALL beautiful.

Thank you for sharing them!

Hallo Maria,

Wunderbar eingefangen.
Dir noch eine schöne Adventzeit.

Nice to see that Vienna has so many "wild" places. Looks like good city planning.
