Common language

Vienna, taking photos on the Danube river, a kid comes to me and ask me something in German. I know no German and try to reply in English, but he knows no English. Somehow we manage to have a very rough conversation, mainly using gestures and guessing words, he want to see my camera, what it is capable of and such. I ask for a pose and he wants and is joined by another kid. I take the photo when notice they talk with each other in… Romanian! A language all of us talk perfectly… natively. We talk a bit and then I have to go.

Hot summer Austrian day in the spring

I am in Vienna for the Libre Graphics Meeting, a conference about FOSS graphic apps and, despide being only the start of May, the weather outside is hot, like in the middle of the summer. Vienna inhabitants seems to deal with the weather as best as they can, having great time near the river of Danube:
