flood

Some flowers don't care too much about weather, they're flowering even when it's overcast and rainy, as Sedum sexangulare here. The floods are already retreating in Vienna; here's Waluliso bridge, the one I have to cross when I drive out to Lobau national park. On days like this, when the New Danube locks are open to prevent flooding in the city, the pontoon bridge of course must be disassembled lest the flood would tear it apart:

So today I had to take the detour over the lower weer which adds a good six kilometres to my route.

Oh, and in case you're wondering: the Donauinsel festival will be held, and its visitors will have to learn to do some mud-sliding still.
