This evening the sky is bright in Vienna,
the temperatures are pleasant,
summer is in the air
(although it's a little cooler at the moment, and we are getting some water from above, too :)

My World Tuesday - Long Shadows on a Sunny Evening
Returning home after a pleasant hiking tour in the mountains near Vienna,
at Obersberg/Schwarzau im Gebirge,
last Saturday.
![](http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5aITSiZGsUM/ShrlXcg7EeI/AAAAAAAAIV4/xU9WH5auYiY/s400/33.bmp)
The sunlight casts long shadows,
highlighting the pine trees high above on the limestone cliffs,
a scenery reminding me of Japanese paintings.

We leave the narrow canyon, Höllental,
following the river Schwarza between the mountains Schneeberg and Rax,

City architecture, old and new,
Gasometer, Vienna's former gas tanks,
and a new crumpled building,
famous
Coop Himmelblau's Gasometer B.

Finally we arrive at the Donaukanal, only a few steps from the heart of the city!
The shadows are even longer, caressing
The shadows are even longer, caressing
the "City Beach" ...

SWF - Summer sky

Summerly bright skies in Vienna,
long shadows this evening at Stephansplatz,
and a clown with a yellow heart-shaped ballon!
Happy Sky Watch Friday!

And the first roses, also here along the Donaukanal, opening their buds!
![](http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5aITSiZGsUM/ShBLfTwBetI/AAAAAAAAIMI/Ok9OMJ0cXec/s320/8.bmp)
The atmosphere is mystical - sunlight and shadows and green, and people relaxing in the greed shade!
![](http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5aITSiZGsUM/ShBKpNr9n3I/AAAAAAAAILw/oNV2vKb8VEs/s320/5.bmp)
Must be nice to sit beside the water under the shady trees,
listening to the music!
But it's too early to sit there, maybe in the late afternoon?
