Car troubles and a few photos from the morning

I'll let Dawn tell the whole story if she feels up to it later.  On her way home from work tonight, the fuel pump in her VW Golf went out, bringing her to a standstill on the side of B299.  She eventually was rescued by ADAC (Europe equivalent to AAA) and is now on her way out to her car dealer/mechanic to have the car dropped off to be fixed and then she'll be on her way home.  This will end up being a long day for her.  Up at 4:30 am, out the door at 5:45, work all day, then deal with this on the way home.  It's almost 9 pm now and she still probably won't be home for another half an hour.  I feel bad for her and wish there was some way that she didn't have to do that drive every day.  When something like this happens, it just adds to an already long day leaving little to no time for relaxation for her.  Thank God we've got an extra long weekend coming up in Vienna.  We both could use the time off.

I also got up early this morning to go shoot some pictures of the sunrise.  It was nice, but not as good as I was hoping.  I also wasn't able to stay long enough to get any good morning light on the castle.  I waited as long as possible, but eventually had to load the camera gear and an extra dirty dog in to the Toyota to get home and then get off to work.  Perhaps I'll try this again in the summer when the sun will be up earlier.  Here are a few pictures from the shoot this morning:



Osu having some fun with another dog that was out early with it's owner.  Cool dog and a nice owner who was pleasant to chat with.  They may look like they are fighting, but they were actually having a lot of fun playing.  This is how Osu got so darn dirty.  And to think, I just cleaned the RAV yesterday.....
