Crane Lake Ballet A week or so ago I posted a shot of the construction cranes at a building site in Vienna (http://www.jerrybarton.eu/Miscellaneous/DailyPicks/i-5t33FMj). Last Saturday evening they performed a "ballet for construction cranes" called "Crane Lake" ( instead of Swan Lake, which in German is alliterative: Kranensee instead of Schwanensee). Light effects and specially composed music. An estimated 14,000 people came - about three times the expectation. A still shot doesn't do it justice, but here is a shot at sunset, just before the show began.
Lonely Construction The partner to my previous shot of a lonely subway stop (http://www.jerrybarton.eu/Miscellaneous/DailyPicks/i-7z28wNs/A). Looking in the opposite direction, one can see the construction and the small "lake", around which businesses and 20,000 residents someday will live and work.
The Loneliest UBahn Stop in Vienna The "Seestadt Aspern" stop of the subway line U2 is already in operation, but the new community is still just a huge building site. People and businesses should be moving in at the end of the decade.
