Discretion Is Mandatory

I am used to the sight of thujas fencing in private backyard gardens and small front gardens.
But this, a thuja hedge in field? This is a quite unusual sight, even for a country like Austria, where thujas have been THE hedge plant for decades. There was a short bamboo intermezzo in the early '00 years, but the bamboo was not meant to last.

There is probably a story behind the thuja hedge on the hill in Höttinger Au, Innsbruck, Tyrol. I don't know the story. All I know is that this scenery made me smile, which is reason enough to stop, take the photo and share it here.

Back from Innsbruck

Hello!

I have been away, on a short trip to Innsbruck and have returned with a SD card full with souvernirs.

Innsbruck is the capital of Tyrol, situated in the Alps. "Tyrol" is a strong brand you probably know. But Innsbruck? Innsbruck is a very enjoyable city. Actually super nice for a week long stay.

Those who know me know: I am not going to show you the main touristic attractions. Therefore please visit www.innsbruck.info

The typical summer days comes with a massive cool down at night:

No matter how heavy the thunder storms have been last night, the next day you find yourself at a mountain lake, again. :-)

The architecture reflects everything I like about Innsbruck:

 Innsbruck - highly recommended! Only 4hrs 8min by train from Vienna.

Have a nice weekend!
