ALL ALONG THE DANUBE CANAL NEAR SCHWEDENPLATZ IN VIENNA

And now to the Artwork and Graffiti

^{this is a very involved mosaic work, still being worked on
a Dutch/Canadian artist I talked to, working on his large canvas attached to the wall}
While I was still on the bridge, I could not help taking these shots

But enough of these side remarks, back to the art:

Unfortunately, there are a few images missing from my phone - it was being a bit unpredictable, in fact at the end of the evening, it crashed - battery drained!

^{on the left side, this is a part of the public toilet - well decorated
not really wheel-chair accessible, but then, neiter is the entire area, since you have to descend the stairs from the bridge}

Inbetween shooting the art and graffiti, I took more pictures of the area

but now a bit more art

At the beginning, I said the whole trip from Floridsdorf to Schwedenplatz was a adventure ride. The reason for this is that the S-Bahn from Floridsdorf was closed due to rail work. So they would have busses ferrying passengers from Floridsdorf to Praterstern (where you then would get into U1 to Schwedenplatz). I didn't want to take that, so I took the U6 to Spittelau in order to go from there with the U4 to Schwedenplatz. Once I got there I found out the U4 would only go to Friedensbrücke (also because of rail work), which is several stations away from Schwedenplatz, so no good for me. Suggestions were to take streetcar D, which I did. But this is a adventure sightseeing tour taking you through a convoluted route that took forever to get to Schwedenplatz.

So here are a couple of images from Spittelau

I certainly did not take that route back home. I went with the bus from Praterstern,
which is quite a ride as well, but really not as long.
But prior to all that, I got hungry, so I decided to eat downtown. I wanted to go to Rheintaler's Beisl, but they were full with a line-up outside, so I decided to check out Sparky's, which was not busy at all.

^{So here I am at the Graben, to the left is Rheintaler's at Dorotheergasse, and going to the right along the side streets is Sparky's in the Goldschmiedgasse, near Stephansdom}

There would have been places to eat at the Donau Canal

but at that time I was not hungry yet, and never bothered to check a menu.

There would be more photos I took, but it seems I am straining the program already.
Hope you stayed with me that long.

^{just for the fun of it, this was NOT the chicken I ate!}

Final Words of wisdom and a pet concern of mine, especially about art diplomas:
I had in years past come across quite a few 'fake diplomas' that pretend to be academic credentials. Next to 'Pay to Play Galleries' they are the scourge to be avoided. The summary of a paper about this spells it out
DEGREE MILLS - THE BILLION DOLLAR INDUSTRY
