Public spaces

We split up for the day and decided to meet up at a restaurant in the suburbs. I made my way walking along the U4 which parallels the Vienna River. There were lots of interesting things to observe away from the Ring where most of the tourists spend their time. The corridor is punctuated by train stops and bus connections. There were marked paths for pedestrians and cyclists. Lots of residents move through, but they also pause and return. Yes, there were benches but there were small garden plots with vegetables growing. This was a place where people live their lives.

I came upon this neighborhood park with hammocks and platforms suitable for a resting off the ground. It was delightful to stop for awhile. I contemplated how I might live my life in this city.
