Saubersdorf and more - after the rain, 17.10.2012
Yesterday, it rained nearly all day, the night however was starry. Thus, I volunteered to get up early with the kids, so at 7:30 I already started with my mountain bike heading for the grassland and fields between Winzendorf, Saubersdorf and St. Egyden/Neusiedl.

The sun has just risen some minutes before. First, it is shining on Schneeberg ...

... and shortly thereafter down here.

In direction Saubersdorf I pass by a ...

... pumpkin field.

Next year´s seed has already germinated - the wet haulms are sparkling in the sun.

Flowering oilseed rape, seeded for green manure purposes.


Corn fields soon will be cropped.




A view in direction Winzendorf.


Schneeberg, with the village of Willendorf in front.



The shadows are still long ...

Near the trees there is a fishing pond.

This corn fields already is cropped.

St. Egyden

The pond near the street in Neusiedl.


I am standing too close to get everthing into one picture. So, there is a panoramic picture, made from 8 pictures, double row. Click here or into the picture for a larger version.

Further on heading for Mollram, till the model aircraft - airport.

Hohe Wand ...

... and zooming in.



Sonnwendstein in the southern direction, with the transponder of the ORF.

A view over Mollram. I turn back here.


Back via Neusiedl and a short way along the Blätterstraße. Here, a late seed of Phacelia ...

... and rape.


Puddles from yesterday´s rain ...


... with Hohe Wand reflecting.

Maple trees are getting yellow.


I have a closer look to the pumpkin field ...

... They are marrows, not oil pumpkins.
