Views from Vienna

shonbrun palace



an example of the forested area here... this place is huge...



a view of the palace and Vienna from the south hill



The place where said view was from



An example of how manicured this place is... that's 2 rows of trees, shaved flat at one end and formed into a tunnel down the middle



A shot of the maze we got lost in. As fun as it was, I couldn't help but think it would have been even better if they would release the occasional wild boar to liven it up a bit :)



The Danube tower and Donau City. Nice modern area with a cool park... good spot to get away from the terrorists, er, tourists



Danube River from the "Sunken City", a little, long island in the middle of the river. Seemed like a nice place to hang out. We were at a stretch of restaurants, and all those lights on the other side is more... it was too dark to explore, but the maps show many kms of park and paths in all along the river.



St. Stephen's Cathedral in the Old City



The view from it's tower... sorry, but the rain and detail made the panorama's look poopy, so this is the best I've got



the last church we stumbled on today. I don't know what it is called... at this point, they are all starting to look the same to me! :)



One extra shot of it for my mom... she liken zee flowers.
