I'm back baby!!!
Posted: Fri Nov 04, 2005 11:46 amThe last days I didn't have time to check out the freeware section and now I have 3 pages of pics to look at. You people have been very very busy! ;D Lots of great stuff to look at too :)
But now I'm back for my next leg of :
LEG 5 : Sofia -> Wien
No condor though, again I'll be using a different aircraft for this flight. I'm still celebrating my residency so I'm using my "Killerbunny for Resident" Party jet
(an Airbus A319 and I do like that paint sooooo much 
) I promise, on my next leg I will use the Focke Wulf Condor again
Taking of from Sofia (LBSF) on a cool morning.
Lovely sunrise isn't it?
Reaching the Croatian coast, somewhere down there is the city of Dubrovnik, built at the shores of the Adriatic sea.
Dubrovnik, an old city on the Adriatic Sea coast in the extreme south of Croatia. Bombed during the civil war in former Yugoslavia. Following the end of the war, a major rebuilding project led by the Croatian authorities and UNESCO began. They rebuilt the city in the ancient style to keep its sense of beauty and history. As well as rebuilding damaged buildings, surviving structures were strengthened against earthquakes. As of 2005, most damaged buildings in the city have been repaired
After Dubrovnik, I'm heading for Mostar, an other old city in Bosnia.
The Mostar Bridge was a very famous and historical bridge before its destruction in 1993 during the war in Bosnia and Hercegovina. The elegant bridge spanned the River Neretva and was designed by the Ottoman architect Mimar Hayruddin. It was completed in 1566 and the surrounding town became a thriving trading centre. The bridge was 29 metres in length and stood at a height of 20 metres, a classic example of a single span, stone arch bridge and was an example of advanced technology in its time. It became a World Heritage site during the twentieth century. The reconstruction was completed in 2004.
Mostar is behind me, now I'm heading for the capital of Hungary : Budapest.
The Parliament in Budapest. This building was constructed in 1896 when Hungary was three times the size it is now (it became smaller as a result of having been shared out after the First World War - when Hungary was on the losing side). Inspired in part, by the Palace of Westminster, its white neo-gothic turrets and arches stretch for over 250 metres along the Duna (tx ozzy
) embankment. Today, the government is housed in only a small portion of the building.
And now for the final part of this leg : going to Wien
Almost back on solid ground
Lots of interesting stuff going on here. Swechat (LOWW) is quite busy.
Schlo
