Pedestrian Bridge

This pedestrian bridge connects the Danube Island and the Old Danube.

More Love Locks

Here's another photo of some love locks at the Jedleseer bridge with the Danube, the Donau City (to the left) and the Millennium Tower (to the right) in the background. I love the quiet atmosphere in this photo, the city's bustling activity seems far away...

Love Locks

Last weekend the railing of  the Pont des Arts in Paris has semi-collapsed due to the weight of all the love locks attached to it. In Vienna we are far from a similar situation (maybe because it's not such a romantic city like Paris), but I recently discovered some first love locks at the Jedleseer bridge, a bridge only for pedestrians, cyclists and skaters which connects the 22nd district with the Danube Island.

August Theme Day: Street Lamps

These street lamps are located on Reichsbrücke which links the 2nd with the 22nd district. The bridge was opened in 1980, and I think the lamps are very characteristic for this period. The white building is the "skyscraper Neue Donau", designed by Austrian-born Australian architect Harry Seidler.

Another View

Here´s another view of the modern Donau City in the 22nd district. There´s also the Reichsbrücke, one of Vienna´s busiest bridges, and a patrol boat, formerly used by the Austrian Armed Forces.

September Theme Day: Perspective

The view from Reichsbrücke towards the modern Donau City aerea - that´s what I see at the very beginning of my estival bicycle tours on Donauinsel.

Reichsbrücke

Reichsbrücke lies on an important axis leading from the city center to the north-east of Vienna. This bridge across the Danube river carries six lanes of traffic, used by 50.000 vehicles daily, subway tracks, two foothpaths and two cylcepaths. This is already the third bridge on this very spot, opened in November 1980, after the previous bridge had collapsed four years before.
The bridge is not beautiful at all, but it´s near my place and during summer I´m using one of the cyclepaths regularly on my way to Donauinsel, so I thought I might share this view with you - besides, I like the sunset light in this photo.
