Wednesday Walk - Make Me Smile ...29.09.2021 Edition
The Good Old "Alte Donau"
Hi Guys! Today´s walk had been a quiet one.... I wonder just where all the people went, the road in my old district was almost empty. Did I miss something? I had to make errands today , the first had been an appointment with my internist to discuss about the lab test results I did last week. A couple of results were above/below the norm but the doctors said there is nothing to worry about because the results were minimal. He said I had to make a diet to reduce my weight so as to prevent rheumatic pains...Huh! I have been doing that step by step...very difficult because I love to cook and eat...Lol!
The Thrift Shop...
After the internist, I passed-by a thrift shop along the way before going to the medical practitioner..The first thing I saw when I parked the car was these bunch of flowers that were growing along the lane. I just love their colors. Carla is a charity organization of Caritas helping the needy.
I went to inspect the Hall full of beautiful pieces. I saw these lovely terrine and I was not tempted to buy one because I do not have enough space in the apartment...
Oh my, I was in love with this small cake platter, its a petite piece and could hold a huge cupcake...I bought it and I will be using this in my food photography.
At the Alte Donau....
My house doctor, my medical practitioner has a clinic that is just a block away from the "Alte Donau" so after I got some prescriptions, I visited the Upper part of the Old Danube to take pictures.
Crossing this street to then left, I went straight down to the water next to the Maritime house. The employees there are the ones cleaning the water from any algae and the like. The water in the Old Danube is a still water, so it does not flow...the real big Danube has a strong stream and is on the other side of this area parallel to the "Donau Insel". You can see some of my images here.
This is the image of the revolving tower, last time I showed in one of my walks the other side in the below image.
Today had been very cloudy but the air is mild, some locals wore short sleeves and in shorts. It is a pity that it was so cloudy and I couldn´t take good images because the water reflects the gray skies. It even rained when I came home.
I hope you like today´s edition of my peaceful #WednesdayWalk. This #MademeSmile.

That little boat looks ready for some quick adventure, perhaps the bad guy's boat in a James Bond film. I'll be looking for that fancy cake platter in future posts 🎂👩🍳.
Hahaha...the boat is too small but really ready to go... When I was in the maritime house, the guys were standing in the waterfront taking a break, and I asked whether I can enter their vicinity to take some pics... ´cause the area is normally closed to public with metal fence... The jokingly said, yes, I just need to be careful because if I were to be sliding into the water and drown, they might not save me because no one from them could swim.... hahaha.. I answered back, I can´t swim either so they have to save and come near me with those little boats and fish me up. Lol!
Ah and yep, I will bake and post it here.. Thanks!
What a lovely walk along the Old Danube - I love the sound of Alte Donau! - and the sights. Especially the pottery, the lavender asters. BeautifuL
Thanks for dropping-by and for the lovely comment.. Have a nice day!
I do love everything in this post, I can feel the good vibes with this eco-friendly place I just wish you good health, and by the way, I like those violets.
Thanks for the well wish and for dropping-by.. So after Japan, you should come to Europe and visit Vienna.. You wont't regret the views and feel more good vibes, the city is clean and green. Cheers!
The photos of the river from the dock is amazing. Shots of the bodies of water always astounds me because of this such need to have a dip on a river or in the sea. Thanks for sharing these wonderful photos of your travel to your med practitioner. We all hope it's not something serious. Dropping by to say hi po.
Thank you dear @fycee...lovely to see you commenting again. LOl, it´s starting to get cold because officially we have Fall already. So a pity that this water front is empty. I am ok, nothing to worry about. You are a gem with your engagements in the blockchain.
A lovely walk my doctor also wasn’t happy with some of my labs do I too and trying to loose some weight
That plate is really cool great fir food photography
Wwt
Thanks @tattoodjay....yeah, it was love at first sight and thought I need to snap it before anyone else does. hahaha.
I look forward to seeing it again in a post
Yep, it´s coming up and will be dedicated to the Wednesday Walkers, how about that !? Lol!
Perfect then for sure I will see it :)
Parang gusto ko tuloy maligo dyan sa ilog., Nakakamis mag tampisaw sa ilog. hehe
It´s sort of a lake, ung malaking ilog nasa parallel nito.. oo ako namiss ko din yang ligo sa ilog...Thanks for visiting.
I would love to go inside that thrift shop and look around. I bet I will find something I like and buy.
Clean and peaceful place Ate.
Hahaha... If I would have the space, Papakyawin ko most of the plates... But my next target is one terrine... Let´s see if I can find a place to keep it without hubby seeing it, Lololol!
Grabe nice kaayo ang mga view ate, nice kaayo mag laag dra ba...
Yes, nindot pud kay limpio. Many thanks for dropping-by.
Ka peaceful sa place not gubot, wala kaayo tao ma exercise gyud kay sarap i lakaw lakaw ang ing-ana ba.
Mao gyud Jude, ilabi na sa buntag sayo kanang medyo tugnaw tugnaw pa. hahaha dili na ka mangurog.
That’s exactly Jude, especially in the early morning that was a bit chilly still. hahaha you won't shake anymore.
I like the photo of tower . It is beautiful. The tower looks a strong needle soar to the sky
Thanks, the tower is one of the attractions in the city because you can see the whole of Vienna and its surroundings.
