A view of the Fernwärme Wien from Friedensbrücke. The Danube Canal, seen above, runs from this part (19th district) to Schwedenplatz (2md district)...a perfect route for a Danube cruise and sightseeing.

Below, just a warm October morning.....the soft glow of the sun as seen from our balcony.

The first snow for this year (autumn/winter) fell down 2 days ago, when we were out with the kids at a mall. This is a view of the road from the mall's bridge. It was a few minutes before 5 o'clock but as the usual autumn and winter time, the sun is nowhere to be seen.

I totally forgot to take a photo from the balcony =D So when I was out with the kids today, there weren't much left, not at 1° .

See more of the world or join...

By the way, If you own a City Daily Photo Blog please take the time to vote for the January theme day here. Thanks! Have a nice week everyone!

These flowers are from the kindergarten taken last October. There are some of them still left nowadays but would surely wither as today, it has been forecasted snow is coming...

They are small flowers whose name I am not sure of...

Orange

Violet

Pink

At 7:40 am, sunrise is not progressing much too soon. The sun is still low behind the silhouettes.

The Wiener Linien is very efficient under circumstances that a bus, train or tram incoveniently has to stop for some reason. They would immediately send or schedule buses to take passengers to their supposed destination or the nearest available line.

Earlier, the line which I take has to go another route because this tram had a little problem, perhaps slid off the train tracks that the Supermen had to 'manually' lift it to put it back. Cases like this calls for the 'camera in action' role of hubby and I. It so happened he had the camera in his bag so I was able to get decent shots.

I am posting old photos for today because I ran out of flower photos, or more appropriately, I cannot find the sd card where my last shots of flowers are. =D

Along with the tulips, here's my daughter and her friend.

Still from the same garden from yesterday. I am not sure if these are daisies too but the flowers have layers of petals and were smaller...I'll surely post them next week on TF meme.

Since its November, I was surprised to see this bee still gathering food. Its hind legs surely is full of harvest for the day.

Have a nice week everyone!

The advantage of having a garden is you get to grow plants and flowers abundantly. Unlike in a balcony or terrace, you have a limited space for them. This is what I love in the kids' kindergarten. They have a small garden where the kids could play, and flowers until now are blooming plentifully.

Daisies are some of the abundant flowers there, here are beautifully colored orange and pink. Daisies are from the family Asteraceae which comprises more than 1,600 genera and 23,000 species. Asteraceae are cosmopolitan, but most common in the temperate regions and tropical mountains.

Asteraceae are most usually herbs, but some shrubs, trees and climbers do exist. They are generally easy to distinguish, mainly because of their characteristic inflorescence and many shared apomorphies.

The leaves and the stems very often contain secretory canals with resin or latex (particularly common among the Cichorioideae). The leaves can be alternate, opposite, or whorled. They may be simple, but are often deeply lobed or otherwise incised, often conduplicate or revolute. The margins can be entire or dentate.

Have a nice week!!!

The Andromeda Tower (340 feet / 104 meters) was built from 1995-1998. This skyscraper of 29 storeys was designed by Wilhelm Holzbauer. The tower houses different international offices, a bank, a drugstore, a Chinese restaurant and more.

At the lower part of the frame you'll see a black structure. What do you think it's supposed to be? First to guess wins a postcard! :-)

Below, this building is leaning...again! Much like yesterday's.

P.S. It's only because of the angle that the building appears to be leaning =)

30 Oct 08

Still in the vicinity of Vienna International Center. This building isn't really leaning, just the way that I was holding the camera made it appear so.

Below, the main street between the two buildings 2 days ago...a busy street.

Heute (Today) is a newspaper in Vienna, that is distributed - for free. One could avail a copy conveniently from the train stations and read just enough before going to work. Definitely a good way to disseminate information to the public.

What I like about this paper though is their contributor's section where readers can send their photo and gets paid a hundred euros when printed in the pages and a thousand as a banner!
