At the beginning of July, my most favourite anti-aircraft tower here in Vienna started to crumble. Many a people started to panic, not least because getting hit by bits and pieces of debris while sitting next to the tower in the Augarten park is a rather unpleasant experience.
Since then, they’ve been trying to patch it up, fencing off large parts of the park in the process. I went there today to see whether they’re doing a good job or not. Unfortunately, the intricacies of the building trade are completely foreign to me, so I couldn’t tell whether they are recreating it in all its glory or are about the tear it down.
I took a few photos of the tower, mixing in a few prototypical autumn shots in the process. Click here to look at the gallery of crumbling tower and autumn shots I saved to Flickr.
I am not sure why I consider your grand old tower as beautiful as I do consider it. Nevertheless, I hope they are making good progress in fixing it.
Your photos of autumn in Austria are also beautiful. I envy you your autumn, our Australian autumn is nothing to write home about.
Well, thank you. Regarding Austrian autumn, I’m quite sure there are other things in Australia, we Austrians wish we had. Like those infamous most poisonous species. Or Uluru. Or a whole lot of space!
