danube

Today was a rainy day exactly as the weatherwoman promised. I wouldn't believe her and drove out on my bike anyway.

Well, the rain caught me fully. I found shelter on the pedestrian bridge at Freudenau power station and watched a vessel manoeuvring in the danube:

Obviously the crane ship in the background should dig up sand and load it into the freighter, keeping the shipping lane free.

They didn't achieve much during the time I was watching, approximately half an hour. Or should I say they didn't do anything at all but manoeuvre a little?

After a while I decided that most likely I won't have any choice but driving home in the pouring rain - and that's what I did shortly after. It really looked like it would rain for hours on end.

And guess what, the moment I arrived at home - soaking wet and cold - it stopped raining and the sun came out.
