It’s finally warm enough to sit outside and draw.
Bus 59
The day was surprisingly chilly and humid.
Pasila construction site
From my office window, I can see the new train station and mall being built.
Swimming in Vienna
Maybe the biggest surprise in Vienna was that you can find many places to swim, just a few subway stops from downtown. These are either quiet branches of the Danube or cut-off sections (basically lakes). Some are surrounded by high-rises, others by parks.
Castello Scaligero
We spent a wonderful two weeks around Lake Garda and the Sud Tirol / Alto Adige, mostly hiking in the mountains. I had time to paint a few watercolours, mostly of mountains.
Return to Malcesine
Placa Prim, Poblenou
A wonderful little square near our apartment. The trees are a strange species from Argentina, called ombu.
