SWF - Sky and water
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.
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,

What a contrast!
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

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!

A relaxing Sunday stroll along the Donaukanal
At Schwedenplatz, turn around and look in the direction of the first district!
Then you can see this place
Then you can see this place
And the first roses, also here along the Donaukanal, opening their buds!
The atmosphere is mystical - sunlight and shadows and green, and people relaxing in the greed shade!
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?
