Rusty Lock

_C230006

_C230003Maybe you know the tradition that couples mount a lock with their initials engraved on handrails of bridges as a sign of their love and fellowship.

Today I crossed the ‘Floridsdorferbrücke’ – a bridge across the Danube River connecting Vienna’s 20 and 21 district – and noticed this old, rusty lock.

And it came to my mind if this love lasted as long as this lock is mounted here? I would say let us hope so …

Have a good night, Andrew >:o)

Crazy Instruments

_C200002Today I’ve been shopping on ‘Mariahilferstraße’ – one of Vienna’s biggest shopping miles – and there I met this funny street-musicians playing on their crazy instruments.

Yes – you see right – the left one is an old broom with just one string and the second one is a kind of shovel with 3 strings connected to amplifiers and played like e-guitars.

But the sound wasn’t bad indeed – a little bit like country-rock – really cool guys!

Good evening, Andrew >:o)

Spangled Sky

Christmas is near so there’s no time to waste! I’ve just some days left to show you this years best christmas lighting in town, so today you get a view on the ‘spangled sky’ along ‘Kohlmarkt’ at Vienna’s first district. No mater if you like christmas – it’s a really atmospheric time in Vienna. You should visit us and see by yourself!

And by the way … all this night-shots are taken by my new ‘Olympus M.Zuiko 12-40 mm F1:2.8’ without tripod from hand. This lens rocks – believe me!

Servus from Vienna, Andrew >:o)
