These pictures are taken near my apartment.
Tonight, on our walk, I was looking forward to snow. The area I live in has a park nearby with large meadows. I was imagining it covered with freshly fallen snow. There is a chill in the air that makes me think of winter. Autumn is my favorite season as I get older, without the extremes of temperature. The light in the fall is also special.
These were taken in the ninth district, on the day I went to the Austrian equivalent of the DMV. I am in the process of getting an Austrian drivers license and registering my car. I also have to get snow tires by Nov. 15th.
Early I commented on how calm Vienna was. Well since the end of summer it has filled back up. The trains are crowded in the morning. I live almost at the end, so I always get a seat. I take two trains, about 20 minutes each. It is still not a frantic city. The pace is fast but not crazy and mostly people are friendly. There is also an amazing variety of people. People of all ages and classes ride the trains, Curly is allowed on all the trains, trams and buses.
