Why adventure? ;-) I like to stroll through parts of my city where I've never been before. Love to get lost a little bit and get fresh new impressions.
Today, like most of the times, I finally found myself in a part of the district which I knew and found my way home without asking passengers where to go...
Meidling is the 12th district of Vienna.
Today I was there at a doctor's and then strolled through some streets which were completely new for me.
Some shadows caught my eye...
... found a church all in white...
... and a refreshingly colorful house...
... found my shadow haunting an empty shop... ;-)
... strolled over a nice market...
... found this typical "working-men-inn", where you can eat "gebackenes Hirn", which means "baked animal brain". ;-)
The Viennese cuisine in former centuries was famous for offal.
I strolled through busy Meidlinger Hauptstraße, the main street of the district...
... and met a guy who obviously was as fascinated by display dummies as myself. ;-)
Thank you all for visiting and commenting this thread!
Here come the last few b/w pics.

(No, it's not Palermo. ;-))
This female figure in "Stadtpark" is called "Donauweibchen".
An old story tells that the female water ghost once drew a young fisherman into the floods of the River Danube...

At long distances the Underground No. 6 does not go under ground - there
it uses the railway line of former "Stadtbahn":
This glass roof protects the elevators which lead down to Underground U3 and U6 near "Westbahnhof" (Western Railway Station).

We traveled by train from Vienna on a rainy day. We've booked small and shabby, but nicely situated apartment. And we got a balcony as a bonus. So we could enjoy our meals while watching the street life :)

Everyone publishes smth about Prague. Now it is my turn.
And yes, they have everything, even their own Eiffel Tower (the Petřín Lookout Tower, which resembles the Eiffel Tower and as it stands atop a hill, its top is at a higher elevation than that of the Eiffel Tower).
