By 2PM, the road home was barely manageable,
the fog was blocking out the light,
junks of ice were falling from the trees.

Rose branches with wind-blown rime ice, a few red rose-hops and yellow leaves - in the background, the scenic "Höhenstraße" road, running through the Vienna Woods within Vienna city borders; beyond, fog keeps the city hidden.

A small chapel dating back the twelfth century at the Lainz Game Preserve in Vienna's 13th District, at the foothills of the Vienna Woods.
Photographed surrounded by trees in autumnal finery, the meadow strewn with leaves the brisk wind was stripping from the trees. The sky is blue with some white clouds sailing along.

Branches heavy with yellow Mirabelles, stunning against the green leaves and the blue sky.
Vienna is rich in wide open green spaces; the Lainz Game Reserve is a paradise, hiking trails that permit you to wander for hours on end, observing deer, wild boars, ducks and geese, birds and red squirrels along the way.
The best part is, public transport takes you right there from the center of the city.

UP IN THE VIENNA WOODS
Wanting to escape Saturday's sweltering heat,
we went up to the 19th District, past vineyards,
into the Vienna Woods. With a cool breeze and a Negroni
we savored sliding into evening. © Merisi Vienna

Negroni on a wooden porch rest, in view the trees of the Vienna Woods and beyond the city itself.
