| The Gürtel, one of the main roads in Vienna |
Last friday I view the streets from a rare perspective, from the front seat in a car. On our way to a nearby city I took advantage of my free hands and pictured the drive.
Let me take you along the route, heading South – a route many commuters take on Fridays.
 |
| A construction site in front of a high-rise (high-rise according to Viennese standards) |
 |
| Along the Triester Straße |
 |
| Probably my favourite shot. The new facade mirrors a typical buidling (probably early 1960s). |
 |
| Railtracks crossing car routes |
 |
| Exzellent shapes, make me think of Robert Venturi |
 |
| Suburban culture reflects at the Wiener Berg |
 |
| First time I noticed this building. |
 |
| A suburban crossing with public transport nearby (the busstop to the right). Maybe you did not notcie, but even the grim street as seen on the first picture comes with a bus stop, probably the "Vienna Nightline". |
 |
| Blue is the colour for highways. South! East! |
 |
| Slowing down, we are not alone |
 |
| On the A2 heading South |
 |
| Old fashioned non-SUVs on the road |
 |
| This feels so good! |
 |
| Time to watch the clouds |
 |
| Almost there |
Ahhh, this was a nice change of pace. Meanwhile we are back to this:
 |
| March, behave! |
Stay warm!

Thanks for taking us along with you! I like how shooting from the car gives you different perspectives that you normally don’t see unless you risk getting ran over. The low sunlight was nice. I believe the reflection was my favorite also. Would you believe we had snow on the first day of Spring? It’s day 2 and freezing temperatures are still in the forecast. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHi Travis!
DeleteSnow in the South? Not what I expected.
And the cameras turn cold in no time ... the cold is not the photographers best friend. Stay warm!
