Vienna Daily

One Viennese photo a day.

Having experienced a whole month of snow, many are ecstatic seeing blue skies and clouds hovering above and greens springing forth from the ground. I am one of those! Flowers and bugs are some of my favorite photography subjects so it's time they finally show up in my posts.

Crocuses and daffodils are first to spring forth, yesterday you saw the daffs, so today would be the crocuses...not yet fully bloomed but getting there. :)

Along with the flowers comes my dreaded allergies with pollen...waaaah...I have trouble in the wee hours of the morning, but a good reason to stay up and post (even when late) for My World Tuesday. ;-)

Aside from the sunny skies that Singapore offers, the colorful butterflies and flowers are to boast of too. My good friend Syel always presents such lovely photos of them...so when I saw this santan-look alike I immediately took a shot! Until now, we don't know how it is rightfully called.

The Butterfly Park in Sentosa houses a collection of butterflies and insects among other of the Kingdom Fauna.

Aside from displays, they are live butterflies, parrots, other birds, turtle and an iguana...(will be posted soon! It is very usual to see the butterflies on the floor so be careful, so you don't step on them...I just took a photo of this yellowish critter....good thing the kids saw it and didn't mistake t for a leaf!

Here is the real santan flower...in pink...looks much the same as the one above sans the long stamen.

Of course, I said Beauties at the Butterfly Park...dawty is surely one of them....hihi. Have a nice week everyone!

Plaza of Lignano, Italy.

A little walk behind the farther building and you'll find the beach. From here, you wouldn't perhaps think that there is one .

I was a little surprised as to how this municipality has been developed, mostly vacation houses, villas, apartments and hotels surround the beach or of walking distance from there. Still this commercial center is like a one-stop shoppingstreet. Food, souvenir items, bath/swimming gears and accessories plus a lot more can surely be found here. (There were Swarovski crystals and Murano glasses too!)

Can This Boat Sail Correctly?
This helps the crew to remember these essential points;
  • Course made good - The turning or steering of the boat vessel using the wheel or tiller to the desired course or buoy. See different points of sail. This may be a definite bearing (e.g. steer 270 degrees), or towards a landmark, or at a desired angle to the apparent wind direction.
  • Trim - This is the fore and aft balance of the boat. The aim is to adjust the moveable ballast (the crew!) forwards or backwards to achieve an 'even keel'. On an upwind course in a small boat, the crew typically sit forward to reduce drag.When 'running',it is more efficient for the crew to sit to the rear of the boat. The position of the crew matters less as the size (and weight) of the boat increases.
  • Balance - This is the port and starboard balance. The aim, once again is to adjust weight 'windward' or 'leeward' to prevent excessive heeling. The boat moves at a faster velocity if it is flat to the water.
  • Sail trim - Trimming sails is a large topic. Simply put however, a sail should be pulled in until it fills with wind, but no further than the point where the front edge of the sail (the luff) is exactly in line with the wind. Let it out until it starts to flap, and then pull it in until it stops.
  • Centreboard (Daggerboard) - If a moveable centreboard is fitted, then it should be lowered when sailing "close to the wind" but can be raised up on downwind courses to reduce drag. The centreboard prevents lateral motion and allows the boat to sail upwind. A boat with no centreboard will instead have a permanent keel, some other form of underwater foil, or even the hull itself which serves the same purpose. With a daggerboard, on a close haul the daggerboard should be fully down and while running over half way up.

About Me


(^By Notting Hill Gate)

I enjoy both travel and photography. Although I haven’t been all-over the world, I try to document my journey and share it around. Here, my current hometown Vienna, a city I come to love not just for its intrinsic beauty but its overall aura of good vibes, I share bits and pieces of what to see and enjoy. -Marie Gizelle
