Vienna. Austria

My entry to this weeks Transglobal Thursday Fun-Challenge "A Step over the Line"

One step further, and you enter one of Vienna's most notorious admininstrative bodies, the Vienna Traffic Authority. You have to go there to register a new car, get a driving license etc. While other parts of Vienna's administration have improved quite a lot in recent years, here everything is done old style. So expect long and unexplainable waiting time and unfriendly officers. As for the arrows, obviously some time ago somebody developed a kind of guidance system, but meanwhile, nobody knows what they were good for anymore....


other sizes: small medium large auto

Love the movement. If it's anything like the vehicle places here you'll hope the arrows point out!!

Nice action.
Guest 29-Sep-2006 03:19
LOL - what you describe - the mood of administrative offices, seems awfully familiar - as for the arrows - they surely rekindle a compulsive feeling...
Guest 28-Sep-2006 23:22
Fantastic movement.

Guest 28-Sep-2006 22:50

excellent shot!!

I feel like walking in on the red arrow just for spite.
: )
royalld28-Sep-2006 16:25
Great feeling of motion (stepping).
Why are licensing officers so unfriendly?
I have had driver's licenses in New York, Georgia and Florida.
In each place the officers working the license bureaus were unfriendly.
Now I learn they are the same in Vienna. It must be something about the job.
Guest 28-Sep-2006 16:23
Love the colours fantastic
John Beck28-Sep-2006 16:12
Sounds just like the Wisconsin Dept of Transportation except the equipment has been updated. Wonderful photo. love the long exposure.
J. Scott Coile28-Sep-2006 15:52
Step along the appropriate color ;) Notorious here too.
Bill Ewart Jr28-Sep-2006 15:00
Once you take that step on the green arrow, don't cross into the other colors!~
Tomasz Dziubinski - Photography28-Sep-2006 13:57
Well, meaningfull :)
wernere0128-Sep-2006 13:33
Don´t follow the blue one. You won´t get a new license because of alcohol problems.
Beautiful find.
Susan Leigh28-Sep-2006 12:06
