Vienna Daily

One Viennese photo a day.

tower



30 Oct 08


Last week,when I showed photos of high-rise buildings in the city, I got comments stating that some thought Vienna is only of old and classic buildings. Well, with preservation, the old buildings still thrive, but modern architecture has also taken its place in the city.



This building is actually one of the Zuwanderer Fonds' apartments, which one can rent fully-furnished. The rent on this particular apartments costs from 500-960Euros depending on the size, which ranges from 29-59 sq mtrs.

(Rents in other Zuwanderer fond apartments differ.)

Opposite this building is the Vienna International Center, the one I posted last week. The zuwanderer fonds building is particularly opposite Tech Gate. These two buildings are separated by a main street and the U1 trainline as you see part of the tracks in above photo. I was standing on the platform when I took this shot, I wanted to actually take a photo of the church's spires but I wasn't carrying my zoom lens so I settled for the buildings as the sun sets and gives off this subtle colors.

I know, its not yet Skywatch but I can't wait for Thursday to post this... =D

Here's to a fun week for us!

cauliflower lie flowers lila


29 October 2008


I do not exactly know what they are called but I assume them to be cabbage flowers. These are really attractive flowers planted mostly on autumns. Like cabbage, they grow best in colder regions so it's the best time for the city gardeners to display them along with paquerettes (daisies).

Violet cabbage flowers are arranged with white paquerettes while white cabbage flowers goes with maroon.
I wonder though if they are edible...but such beauty is something I would rather display than eat.

amadeus

Among the many bookshops in Vienna, Amadeus would catch one's attention immediately. The calm aura the modern design gives surely calls booklovers in. Amadeus offers not only books but materials for arts and crafts, painting and lots more.



I do not normally buy my books here as I am a thrifty bookworm...but I do get the kids' coloring books and educational books here.



books



For this photo they are neatly stacked up but now, the kids have been pulling them one by one and I'm sure I need to neatly put them up again!

30 Okt 08



It was sunny today, earlier the sky was a plain and beautiful blue, though the sun was shining the wind was cold and strong. Later in the afternoon, the clouds formed into clusters like twisters....it's scary to think about twisters in this city!

29 Oct 08



I was able to get outside today, after being sick (autumn always carry some kind of virus lol). I went out with the 2 boys and got some photos to stock ;-)

As we were waiting for the lights to turn green I decided to click the camera that was on top of little boy's stroller. I clicked without looking into the viewfinder (I dont have an lcd to see what I'm shooting). I was thinking too that the people on the other side of the lane would get conscious if I point the cam at them. I was glad the framing turned out well.

Nordic walking in the city...a healthy option!

tram



5 Feb 08



Red is a prolific color in this city. Everyday, I see red on buses and trams, of the old and new models.

The man in chains on the first photo has always been puzzling to me...What do you make of it?

Below, I think I featured this one before, the face of the newer trams which is more convenient to older people and for moms who have smaller kids (strollers).

oct2002


sometime in Oct 2002



When I arrived in Vienna, the surrounding buildings of the Vienna International Centre was partly being constructed. Today, plans of expansion and modernization are being realized by the city engineers. Housing as well as commercial spaces have been erected along with the offices and other convention centers in the area.



The VIC, designed by Austrian architect Johann Staber, was built between 1973 and 1979 just north of the river Danube.



About 5,000 people work at the VIC, which also offers catering, banking, postal and shopping facilities. Larger conferences can be accommodated in the neighbouring Austria Center Vienna, a conference and exhibition centre with a capacity of 6,000.


A major UN site along with New York, Geneva and Nairobi, the VIC hosts several organizations::

1. International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
2. United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC)
3. United Nations Office at Vienna (UNOV)
4. Office for Outer Space Affairs (OOSA)
5. United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO)
6. Preparatory Commission for the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO).

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
