Where the Eggplants Grow

A large area in the East of Vienna has always been dedicated to vegetables, growing vegetables. The production methods may have altered over the decades, but the business remained more or less the same: it's a family-run business.

Looking back. In the far distance you can see a radio tower. Usually we see this radio tower from the city centre, where it already seems to be far away. Here I am far from everything and anyplace. Without rain protection. Riding my bicycle, dark clouds coming our way.

Conformity. A trim would suit the hedge, it's already growing wild.

How Viennese vegetable farmers live. This excursion will not become famous for its architectural highlights.

There is always spare money for a nice BMW in the backyard.

Come in? Stay outside!

Yes, vegtable farming has become quite an industry. But. Contrary to the meat- and dairy-industry, you are allowed to take a close look.

Monochrome, my new love. I notice an akward eccentricity: only the portrait format seems to speak to me. 

Phew! Well organised greens. The green seems so saturated, it is almost too saturated. Viennese salad. Now is the time!

A little mystery. I have no clue what this hut is being used for. Totem figure?

In the close neighbourhood you find the shore of the Danube and its flood plains.

Have a good start into the new week!
