The sky looked rather dramatic some days ago when I returned home...
On Saturday the sky over the Old Vienna was rather cloudy.
The sky over the New Danube last Saturday, seen during my evening bicyle ride.
When I was a kid, I often watched the clouds with my mother and tried to see animals or other characters. Some things never change, I still love to watch the clouds...
I'm back from a 10 day vacation. Although I had intended to publish a daily photo, in the end I didn't make it... But now everything is back to normal. Guess how I spent my first evening back in town? I took a walk along the Old Danube and enjoyed the view of this dramatic looking sky.
Yesterday afternoon I briefly left the office to get a late lunch and saw this beautiful sky over the Haas Haus and St. Stephen's Cathedral. A nice change to the recent greyness.
A beautiful winter sky...
The past two weeks the weather wasn't very nice, but I hope to see a similar sky (this photo was taken at the beginning of August) very soon. My holidays are drawing to a close and, back to work, I will first and foremost see the ceiling of the office if I look up...
Here's another sunset photographed on my way home from a bicycle tour. Don't the clouds look great?
Some weeks ago I wanted to make my usual bicycle tour in the evening, but then I saw a storm coming up and decided to better go back home.
Last summer I got obsessed with sunsets... I usually return from my bicycle tours on the Danube Island at sunset and I stop to take a photo when I cross the Danube.
Last summer I developed a certain obsession for sunsets (see here, here, here and here). Recently I happened to a see the sun setting over the city center when I crossed the Danube Canal and couldn't help taking a photograph. Admittedly, the sky was much brighter in reality...
As I didn't take any spectacular photo last year, it was hard to choose the "photo of the year", but I finally opted for this sunset because it was one of the first of many sunset photos that I took last summer (I was literally obsessed with sunsets) and it reminds me of the bicycle tours that I use to take on summer evenings.

Sunday before last I enjoyed the calm atmosphere in Augarten under a sky that looked like this.
Yesterday's sunset photographed on my way home after another bicycle tour. The days are getting significantly shorter...
Recently I am obsessed with sunsets - they are always beautiful, yet always different...
Another beautiful sunset over the Danube...
I took this photo last Saturday, on my way home after my usual summer bicycle tour on the Danube Island. In the background
you can see the hills of the Wienerwald (Vienna Woods) the building on the right is the Millennium Tower.
Instead of going to the "New Year´s Path", the party zone in the city center (where entertainment started already at 2 p.m.), I prefered to take a walk in the calm outskirts. There I happened to see the last sunset in 2012.
When I was at the "Parkfair" two weeks ago, I didn´t only take a look at the artworks on show but also enjoyed the nocturnal view from the parking deck. The Ernst Happel stadium was built between 1929 and 1931 and originally was named Prater stadium. In 1992 it was renamed in honour of Ernst Happel (1925-1992), an Austrian football player and coach.
