Flak tower

built 1944 of ferroconcrete,the 51m high tower,consistng of some 11 storeys,
is part of the skyline in the Augarten.It´s one of six still standing in Vienna.
My mother used to seek shelter there during the last days of war
and when i was a kid, we used to play there,even managing to get inside.

Interesting story and image Christin.
PS
I am not sure I exactly understand why it seems so incredibly funny to have been... a-hemm... a kid during WWII...
LOL ;-)

It's like a tower out of The Lord of the Rings. What a imposing structure. Your low perspective and deep dof adds to its mass.

but since it is still standing,
kids play there even today..;o
