Evening walk along the river Danube










Above: Skilful crane driver in his cabine :)))


My friend Brigitte and I took an evening walk along the river Danube today,
starting at Donaukraftwerk Freudenauand walking along the Southern bank of the Danube to Praterbrücke,
passing by Vienna's container harbour,
and a crane driver showing off with his skills on the huge machine when he saw two ladies walking by (together at least 100 years on four legs plus a 5 year old dog:)))
which made us smile a lot, very refreshing, hehehe :)))
and with the white swans escorting us!

And these tulips are my hubby's birthday flowers and I think they were grown in Holland,
or maybe in Skagit Valley where my friend MaryBeth lives?
Well, will we ever know ????

Lucky you, seeing such beauty at night! Swans are such amazing birds, I have only seen them in daylight!

'My truck is the love', right?

Yes, but also "My vice is love"!

How lovely, the swans coming to see who is taking their pictures in the darkness. For some photographers into seeking ghosts, those spheres in the first photos may be just that.

Thanks for taking us along on your walk. Is the Danube always that "glassy" this time of year? I love the reflections.

Love the swans!! (Does anyone NOT like swans?) I have never thought to even look for them at night!
Sounds like you had a lovely walk, all three of you.
My dog sleeps UNDER the blankets. It is only a problem when he gets out, and wants back in again, in the middle of the night.
Thanls for sharing!
