From Author Keith McGowan: I live in Vienna (the capital of Austria) with my wife, who is Austrian. Can you find Austria on a map? Hint: Look south of the Czech Republic. Vienna is about three hours southeast of Prague and three hours northwest of Budapest. Here are a few photos from across the city. I hope to add more photos over time.
Near where my wife and I live, this statue commemorates carriage drivers, called “Fiaker” in the Austrian dialect.
A building on the ring road in downtown Vienna. There are a lot of old ornate buildings across the city.
The Witch of Danube Canal in downtown Vienna. Look at the person and trailer on the right to see the size of this painting.
Can you guess what the sign says?
This little house in the city is part of a “Schrebergarten,” plots of land that used to be vegetable garden plots for people living in the city. They’ve since been turned into bungalows.
This is the Danube Canal on its way into downtown Vienna. Farther north is the much larger Danube River (photo below).
A rarely seen view of the city. This is the “new” part of the city as seen across the Danube River in summer.
That’s all for now. As time allows in future months I hope to add more photographs. Thanks very much for your visit!
