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.
So I did forget to make you aware of the new park pictures I shot last Saturday. Thus, without further ado, enjoy .
As I’ve made it a habit of writing about the copious amounts of snow we’re having, I’m now going to show you that I can in fact write about sunshine as well. Today was an extremely nice and sunny day, and although my girlfriend did have to coax me into it, in the end I really liked leaving the apartment to enjoy a few those rays.
Due to the proximity, we decided to patronise the Augarten, which in a way we regard as our own, personal park. And although we’ve been living around here for a few years now, we actually discovered a bunch of new stuff. Like that garden of sculptures. Or the restaurant right next to it. Where we had this coffee.
I still can’t get over how perfect that shot came out. Click it and it’ll zoom you right into the gallery of wonders.
