fragments of Vienna





the new photo friday theme is: Public Space. it made me revisit my photo files from city trips - and arrive at this curious bridge moment from Vienna again. the bridge is right next to the MAK, the "museum of applied art". the river is the Danube - the "Donau". which is huge, but is locked away in Vienna in a deep canal.

the text on the bridge stone is from Heraklit, Fragment 12 - i looked for an online version of it, and arrived at this Heraklit wiki-quote-page, strangely, the one above is not included there, but it includes other flow / water fragments, starting with this classic one: "Everything flows, nothing stands still." 

the second image is the same view, seen from the other side, and a larger angle. i looked, but there was no note on the sculpture.
