The main focus of this excursion is Vienna's highrise district - Donaucity.
Instead of the standard tourist shots, I tried to capture some of the lesser known angles.
I also explored parts of the adjacent Kaisermühlen neighborhood, a typical working class area. Though I wonder how much it still lives up to its cliche, nowadays.
The approach on bicycle:
Crossing the Danube in the early morning light I catch the first glimpse of Vienna's Donaucity:
1.
2.
Today's first tower is Floridotower, a few miles north of the main highrise cluster:
3.
4.
All the while I had this little companion follow me around.
5.
Donauturm, an observation tower, is the first sign that we're approaching Donaucity, the main highrise district:
6.
