Vienna is commonly divided into twenty-three numbered administrative units, one of them being the rather posh 9th district, situated north of the old town. Living in Vienna, I am seldomly visiting this part of the city, so in the fall I use a sunny and quiet Monday afternoon to have a walk in the streets and parks of this charming neighborhood.
The colors of the city are changing as the cold season approaches.
The eternal cycle of life and death continues, and nature is shutting down to awake anew in a couple of months, allowing for some quiet time of reflection and gratitude.

Impressions of Vienna in late October 2019.
When traveling to Austria in October, there is a particular mood setting over the country. The heat of summer is over, and nature is beginning to prepare for a more harsh season. Still, the weather can be lovely with blue skies and a milder, gentler sun. The leaves start to fall, and brown and yellow colors fall over the landscape. Autumn is here, and it is the perfect time for a walk in the hills.
This is one kind of “The Viennese Central Cemetery Part 2,5,” or the outtake. Two shots I really liked but which didn’t fit into. In the second picture, you see the fabulous Karl-Borromäus church in the center of the cemetery. Plus, another shot from Vienna’s streets captures autumn’s colors.
