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!

GOOD NIGHT VIENNA!

Fernheizkraftwerk Spittelau

You wouldn't believe, this is a garbage icineration plant!
And a full moon on the rise.
That's crazy Vienna :)

TODAY'S FLOWERS

Yesterday I visited my sister Michaela who lives in a small village 45 miles NW of Vienna.
Her youngest daughter celebrated her 6th birthday.
Family meeting :)
After eating and drinking and gosssipping and having all that fun,
my 16 year old niece Iris noticed that the sun was slowly setting.
We rushed out and found the last flowers,
an old brown sedum, and some new "Winter snowballs", as my sister calls them, and a rising moon!
I post two sets of photos as I am unable to decide which one to take!

Sky Watch Friday - Morning sun





Hi friends, this is a look at Vienna's St. Stephen's Cathedral,
looking up on a wonderful winter morning,
with yellow morning light,
and with a passenger recommending me to turn around and look back
and take a picture from the other side of the dome
with a still more beautiful view,
and then meeting some dome priests
looking at me taking the pictures of the dome
smiling at me...
A beautiful morning!

It pays to look up into the sky from time to time,
HERE all aroung the globe!

Dogs on Thursday


"Please, take me with you, I will walk with a leash, yes, I promise, I will try to!"


Hallo friends from "Dogs on Thursday"!
I happened to find your meme recently
and liked it from the start!
This is how we found our dog D'Ora in Italy 4 years ago,
and we took her with us to Vienna,
where she has become a celebrity :)

"I'm Austria's Dog Model No.1 !
And here I simply have some FUN!"

Little cutie has become my favourite :)

Brenda's Photo Challenge - From an ant's view


Jeannne of Life or Something Like It,
is this week's Challenge Host and has chosen for our theme:
"From an Ant's View"

It was not as easy as it seemed to be at first sight.
But whenI imagined an ant crawling right over my writing desk,
I had found my line of action...

Maybe the last picture is from a delirious ant's view?
