Wien bei Nacht sehen

[schneefink]

It's midnight and I'm sitting on a dark hill on the outskirts of Vienna, with a beautiful view over the city, watching shooting stars :) I've been here for about an hour and I've seen about 3-5 so far (two out of the corner of my eye I'm not sure about.)
It might be exaggerated because of the clouds, but the difference between how many stars I can see in the direction of the city and away from it is quite stark.
I'll be leaving soon because of the mosquitoes, but it was nice and I'm glad I went.

That sounds so beautiful! I poked my head out last night, but what with the light pollution in Baton Rouge it was unlikely I'd see anything so I headed back inside. :)

That sounds awesome! I didn't want to drive somewhere to watch on my own, so I didn't see anything. (Much too bright here in the city!)

It was very pretty! Maybe I should go for walks at night more often, even just walking across the grass and seeing the flowers in the light of my lamp was pretty cool.

It was nice! Yeah, I doubt I'd have bothered if I wasn't already on the outskirts of the city to begin with.

It was! I'd even prepared and brought sweets ^^

Weniger leiwand: ich bin heut mit noch mehr Gelsenstichen aufgewacht als ich erwartet hab... aber das war´s wert ^^

I spent the fall of 1981 there -- my junior year of college.

Loved it. Also an exciting year for Poland. By the way.

That was before my time - back then I think the entire area where my parents live now was still empty ^^
Glad you enjoyed your time here.

I haven't been back to Europe since then (I am in the USA) but when I retire I will be back! Assuming I can find a window where travel is allowed.
