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.

Sunset on my Way Home

My usual view on returning home after my bicycle tour on Donauinsel. In the background you can see the hills of the Wienerwald (Vienna Woods), the skyscraper on the right is the Millennium Tower.

Riverboats

The Danube River is Europe´s second longest river (2860 km), it originates in the Black Forest in Germany and, after passing through four Central and Eastern European capitals (Vienna, Bratislava, Budapest, Belgrade), emptys into the Black Sea. There are a lot of riverboats that travel the river, in Vienna they stop right next to the Reichsbrücke.

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.
