How did she get up there?
When I posted this photo with my dog 10 meters above the Vienna river,
CES asked me, a little shocked, how the dog managed to get up there.
Well, I'll show you!

The dog simply jumps up the little wall which is not very high here,
and speedily balances along it.
I dare not call her for fear she might fall down into the Wienfluss river.
I love the Stadtpark very much.
After the regulation of the Wienfluss, the whole river area was rebuilt between 1903 and 1907, with a gate out of which the river flows, pavillons and stairs to its shorts.
There is more information here in Wiki.

And tourists love to take pictures of the golden statute of
Johann Strauss,
Austria's king of waltz.

When the dog realizes that we are on our way to Stadtpark,
she begins to run like mad...
Vienna's Stadtpark is a very important part of
OUR WORLD!

By the way - JOHANN STRAUSS!
The traditional Vienna Philharmonic New Year's Concert 2009
will be conducted
for the first time by the Argentinean-Israeli pianist and conductor Daniel Barenboim.
He is one of the most famous conductors in the world and most loved by the Vienna audience.
Barenboim also founded the West-Eastern Diwan Orchester which consists of Israeli and Palestinian musicians!
Perhaps a good way to make peace.
The New Year's Concert 2009 will once again be broadcast by the Austrian Broadcasting Network to over 70 television networks and 300 radio stations around the world.
Here you see the Musikverein building where the concert is performed every year.

Sky Watch Friday - Urban or rural ?
Would you prefer to watch the sky in the countryside or in a town?
St. Stephen's Cathedral,Vienna,
throwing its shadow on a foggy background....
(with a new gilded top
and the scaffloding being gradually removed)
* * *
I love both, urban and rural,
but I need to leave the city from time to time to see the horizon.
For all skies around the globe, please follow THIS special link :)
