2288 - The World Tonight


Well, actually last night when I arrived in Vienna. We had a little bit of rain last night, but temperatures were hardly above freezing and there are still masses of snow.

Urban snow. It gets muddy in a few hours and everything looks a bit shabby, don’t you think 🙂

The Song of the Day is “The World Tonight” from Paul McCartney’s 1997 album “Flaming Pie”. Hear it on YouTube.

Love this. Just like from an old movie. You have quite the eye, Andreas.

It'S all a little bit shabby, yes. Apart from that, this is just Vienna. Not the glamorous center, not the faceless outskirts, just a part that became densely urban at around 1900.

That scooter doesn't look like it's going anywhere for a while. 🙂

Yeah, I always cringe when I see such a definitely not cheap vehicle in those conditions.

This is wonderfully evocative. Both intensely real and unreal.

April, I can tell you it feels intensely real when icy water drops from the roof and on your head 😄
