First the backstory. In about a week I'll be boarding a cruise ship (this year's Cruise Trek) in Romania. When I booked the flight many months ago, I had a brilliant idea to go in a week early to Vienna and use it as a base to spend a few nights each in Albania and Bosnia. Fast forward to 6 weeks ago and the Covid restrictions, flight schedules, and hotel prices made me give up. Changing the flight to Vienna would result in penalties and possibly fare increases so I made the best of it and thought, where can I go in Austria where I've never been? Innsbruck, hmm. Can I get a free flight from Vienna? Yes! Can I get a free hotel room? Yes. Check! The city is picture perfect though. Nestled in a valley between two mountain ranges, it's green, colorful, and everything you could want a place to be when the purpose is total work decompression. No major sightseeing, no expectations. You, a city and a view. It's walkable and small. You've got to look up, left and right,
Today's random mosque. I liked the blue tile work on this one. Sometimes I can sleep through the first call to prayer but at 5:?? this morning I was woken up by the mosque across the street sounding out the call. What sounds neat at 7:00 pm doesn't have the same effect at 5:00 am. I can't get an ocean shot this time because even though I'm right next to it, I can't see it. So much dust is in the air and it even sort of sprinkled today that all you can see is dust over the water.
