Linz, Austria

When we woke up after our cruise through the Wachau Valley we were in the town of Linz.
This was the view when I looked out our balcony.
Another beautiful day.
Linz is renowned as the birthplace of the Linzer Torte, a traditional buttery, nutty cake with a characteristic lattice pattern and a jam filling.
It is considered one of the oldest cake recipes in the world.
We didn’t have one of those but we did have a very nice lunch next to that church on the hill in the distance.
That building that Jose noted is rather jarring is the Ars Electronica Center.
You can watch artificial intelligence “think”, train self-driving cars, program robots, 3D print and much more there.
The topics at the Ars Electronica Center range from artificial intelligence and neuro-bionics to autonomous systems and robotics, genetic engineering and biotechnology as well as the profound global changes of our time.
We didn't get to visit there but we did see the light show they put on in the evening as we left the town.

Wonderful symbiosis between old and new architecture in correspondence to the mighty river, in a fine composition! V

That glass building is incredible, seemingly even more eye catching than the church. ~vvv~

Great shot of the riverside town, with such a tremendous contrast in architectural style. V.

Not too crazy about the "Ars" building otherwise a great view to wake up to.

Looks like a lovely day. They should have named it the "Ars Sore Thumb Center."

a beautiful view, but I don´t like that modern building there to contrast with the old architecture in town.V
