Down By The Danube River








Early Morning Light
Alte Donau
Old Danube
22nd District
August 2008

*

The Danube river waters
pass through Vienna in
four river beds.
From West to East, they are called:
The Danube Channel
The Danube,
The New Danube, and
The Old Danube.
Of course, there's also the river Wien.
Lots of water and many bridges.

For a map of Vienna
with its many waterways,
click on the first picture.
The other pictures will reveal
more images of the Danube river

  5. Hello Merisi,

    The shimmering Danube that you've shown us have given me such a feeling of calm.

    One of your prior posts that featured views of the city from a hilltop revealed that Vienna is a real city, and includes some perhaps less beautiful features, yet features that a city needs. I was happy to see that wide view, knowing that every day you are able to find within it such gems to show us.

    I thank you yet again. xo

  6. Thanks so much for your kind comments on my blog. I really appreciate your thoughtfulness.
    I would love to enlarge my pictures and show them someplace....haven't a clue where and need a small bank-roll to do it....

  8. So much water! I had not realized that about Vienna. I clicked and went to the map.

    Early morning light on water is always magical...and that last shot of the glasses evokes the caress of fresh, fragrant and cool morning air upon my skin!
