These are some pictures I took while exploring Dornbirn with my roommate, Svaťa earlier this week. The river is frozen and there’s lots of snow everywhere. Click the thumbnails to see bigger pictures and descriptions.

Lovely photos -don’t walk out on that river!!
Too late, one of the pictures was taken from on the river itself, but it’s a very shallow river and I think with the start of spring a lot of the ice has melted away anyway.
I have just received the ‘photos. Thinking about you lots and hoping you are settling in. Quite a difference weatherwise for you to get used to.
Take care
