Wienfluss (Vienna river) and next to it Underground line U4. The flooding almost reached the top of the wall to the left and at some locations even overflowed. ウィーン川と地下鉄4番。大雨の際、水は境のほぼ一番上まで達していました。所々溢れたということです。
In the middle of September, Austria had persistent rain. Here in Vienna there also was constant rain, which I had never experienced like this before. It was not only depressing but many areas experienced severe flooding. The media called it “once in a century flooding”.
Recently after some time I walked over Reinprechtsdorferbrücke. This bridge connects the 5th and the 6th district over theWienflus and is part of one of my walking courses. When I looked down from the bridge at the Wienfluss I was shocked because many rocks were there which I had not seen before. The only explanation is that they were swept here by the large quantity of water. How mighty nature’s power is that water can carry such big rocks!
Main street of Chivasso. Lunch break, almost no one out in the street. Wednesday morning there is a market along this street. キヴァッソのメインストリート。昼休み中でほとんど人通りがありません。水曜日の午前中はこの通りに沿って市が立ちます。
After some time we went to Piemonte again for studying vocal technique. This time we stayed in Chivasso. It is an important traffic connection point which is even featured in my Italian language learning book. There is also a history of Irish immigrants here. When one researches it, it might be of interest. 久しぶりに声楽の勉強のため、北イタリア、ピエモンテ州に行きました。今回はキヴァッソという街で宿泊しました。ここは、私のイタリア語の教科書のテキストにも登場する、北イタリアの交通の重要な街の一つです。アイルランドから移住した人達の歴史があり、調べると興味深いと思います。

Finally blue skies have returned to Vienna! A couple of days there was continous cold weather with incessant rain. The usually small and lovely Vienna river (Wienfluß) became a roaring beast. The weather was actually really threatening and even the media called it a “once in a hundred years storm”. Not only Austria was affected but throughout several countries there was severe flooding and subsequent damage. Also in Vienna due to flooding many public transport lines including Subways were not operating. Yesterday finally the weather calmed down and returned to its usual lovely September self. The city center was crowded with happy tourists strolling around.
This is “Haydn Haus”in the 6th district of Vienna, composer Josef Haydns (1732 – 1809) last residence. Now it is a museum. 写真はウィーン6区にある「ハイドンハウス」です。音楽家ヨーゼフ ハイドン(1732〜1809)最後の住居で、今は彼の記念館になっています。
The entrance. 入り口
Close to Haydn Haus there is Sankt Aegyd Church in the 6th district, where Haydn’s funeral was held. ハイドンハウスの直ぐ近くにハイドンのお葬式が行われた聖エギード教会があります(ウィーン6区)。
Entrance. 正面入り口
To the left next to the entrance, there is a commemorative plaque saying that his funeral took place here. 正面入り口左側に、ヨーゼフ ハイドンのお葬式がこの教会で行われたことが記された碑があります。
Below you will see some pictures of the interior. 以下、教会内部の写真を載せます。
After a long Winter, some cherry trees close to my apartment are starting to blossom! For a long time nothing happened and then suddenly it starts. Here in Vienna one has to be careful in order to avoid missing out on beautiful things in Spring. 長い冬でした´が、我が家の近くで桜の花が咲いているのを見つけました!何も起こらない期間が長かったのに、始まるのはあっという間です。ウィーンの春は、気をつけていないとたくさんの素敵なことを逃してしまいます。
