Autumn impressions

This morning me and my friend Brigitte revisited Lobau, the wetlands of the river Danube.
It was a typical autumn day,
grey sky, pale colours, cool air and the wonderful smell of decaying leaves.

Have a nice weekend ahead!

Lobau - The Danube's Wetlands in Vienna

Once a month my friend Brigitte and I take a longer walk on Saturday mornings.

Last week we hiked for 5 hours through the wetlands of the Danube, the Lobau, a protected area in the Nationalpark Donauauen.

Enjoy the peaceful landscape and imagine that we
never
left the citiy limits of Vienna!

We crossed an old arm of the Danube on a bridge called Josefsteg, built by the Austrian Army, the Bundesheer, in 2001.

We enjoyed the intensive green colours and took pictures in the cherry grove.

Guess what D'Ora did?

Exactly!

She watched the changing patterns of the shadows cast on the water by the mallards in the reeds!

Sky Watch Friday - Water lily pond sky

After a heavy thunderstorm yesterday evening,
the sky is well-behaved today!
The sun reflects pleasantly in one of the Danube's old arms in the Lobau Area.
Among water lilies!

Lying in the southeastern outskirts of Vienna, Lobau is a vast and pristine riverside forest and wetland area and is part of one of the last primeval forests of Europe.
