So the cranes are moving on the skyline ...

Fabulous Florida Mommy and wilhelmm46, thank you for following! I hope this blog offers something to you that you like.

This is the lung of Vienna, the Vienna Woods.

In April the ground is flooded with wild garlic.

It was a good idea to visit the woods last Sunday, simply because this is a usual weekday is like at Maison Paula these days. May I introduce you to the dusty streets of Vienna:

*piiep* *piiiep* *piiiiep* *piiep* makes the truck, backing into the street
*wrrrrrrrrrmmmm wrrrmrmm* makes the motor while lifting the components of the crane
Quiet at night. And some dust in the air.

Thanks/due to the long light exposure, the picture turns out really lit and artificial. There was no spotlight but just the ordinalry streetlight from vis a vis. With the long exposure my camera is able to see a lot more than I can see with my eyes.

Call me Cat.

The small device on the crane boom, the "crab" is called "cat" in German

I took all photos with my small DP1 camera, fixed on a tiny tripod. Exposure time 10 seconds. The star in the photo above (top left, below the left part of the crane boom) mutated into a swoosh, I quasi pictured the rotation of the planet Earth with my small camera. Yes, I was excited!

I almost forgot how much I prefer the nightlight-qualities of this cameraover its daylight-qualities. The sensor works wonders at night.The shades of the night sky in the city alone.

I am not used to seeing anyone vis a vis form my appartment. The moment I saw the two man standing on the roof vis a vis, I waved to them and one of the workers waved back. With a smile. I prefer to make friends with the inevitable, such as noise and dirt.

Hello!

It is hard to leave the window, I could watch the construction sight forever. But wait, there is more to see:

Karlsplatz with the exhibition space "KUNSTHALLE".
plus a pedestrian crossing and bicycle crossing, next to each other.

You can find drive-through-houses in Vienna

Another rounded building (the drive-through is rounded, too), the Akademietheater.

Mr Paula and I have a subscription that comes with a free booklet for each of us and a free glass of prosecco each. We call the subscription the "Prosecco-Abo".
The audience is always very easy to entertain, no wonder, after the prosecco!
Or it falls asleep, no wonder, after the prosecco!

The subscription costs almost the same as ticket for the cinema. Good to know, where the taxes go.

Empty cable reels are the best! As if a giant had dropped them in the street...

This company left a long ago, only the sign remains:

Olivetti participated in the development of personal computers. It's still a strong brand, no?

I would love to continue my Couch25k programm tomorrow but an ischialgia (=pain in the backside) struck me. This makes me sad, because I want to run.

When I exercise with my Mp3 player, I channel Rocky Balboa.

Massive Attack's Safe from Harm. It is a great beat for walking/running for beginners.

I cut the tune in to 90secs and 120secs pieces, a total or 20 minutes.

I added very tiny pauses after 90 and 120 secs, so I wont need to look at the wristwatch to get the right time for changing from walking mode to running mode.

In theory it works great. IRL it's not that easy. The 90 and 120 secs seem to be above my calculating skills. I messed them up and ended up running 90 secs and walking 60 instead of 120. In the end, which was already after a few mintues, my body told me something was wrong.
Nevertheless, I enjoy the idea of a programmed tune. Suggestions for new tunes are very welcome! There are plenty of weeks to run ahead. Keeping my fingers crossed my backside will be ok, soon.

Usually I prefer breakfast at home but with all the noise going on, I switched to a breakfast at the job and was surprised, how many co-workers have their breakfast at work on a daily basis.

A Semmel with apricot-jam and Tea with milk (Assam tea, 3,6% whole milk)

Have a nice day!

PS: the title is a quote from a song by The The. Whenever I see a crane, the song comes to my mind.
