DC (Donau City) Tower 1 is 220 metres high, which makes it the tallest skyscraper not only in Vienna but also in Austria. It was finished in 2014 and designed by a French architect Dominique Perrault.
The just-completed DC Tower 3 is a 110-meter residential tower that provides housing for 832 students. It is located in Vienna's Donau City, not far from the Vienna International Center (aka UNO City).
The DC Towers (actually Donau City Towers) are three skyscrapers designed and partially completed by French architect Dominique Perrault. The first of the three towers, DC Tower 1, a hotel and office building, opened on February 26, 2014. The construction of DC Tower 2 has been enormously delayed for reasons unknown to me, but reportedly it has now begun after all.
Got this shot when it was pouring down rain at a DC streetcar stop. Took at the late blue hour, on H Street NE behind Union Station. The streetcar was originally parked when I starting shooting, then started to move after 5 seconds. I was aiming to mix light trails and motion blur on this one.
Just some combos I tested and thought looked quite good

I was fortunate to have a day and an evening to tour and photograph in DC last week. I was even more fortunate to meet flickr friend Scott McLeod there
(www.flickr.com/photos/dscottmcleod) for a walking tour. Scott made the trip a success with his suggestions on places and times and even exposures. Look at Scotts truly great channel.
This is a three shot combination into HDR in LR then I sharpened it in NIK to give the present look.
We had been waiting for this guy! Very cool character from DC and an excellent figure of him from McFarlane. 😎
The Vietnam Veterans Memorial is a U.S. national memorial in Washington, D.C., honoring service members of the U.S. armed forces who served in the Vietnam War.
This picture was taken at around 12th Street and Independence Ave in Washington, DC. The archway is apart of the US Department of Agriculture building.
A rework of this long exposure image of the imposing DC Tower. Topaz de-noise brought out much more detail in this image and some adjustments in Lightroom of the River Danube.
This is the sky line of Donau City a new development in Vienna with this impressive DC Tower some 250 metres to the top, 64 floors, 29 lifts and rooftop restaurant and bar with stunning views across Vienna.
LInk to information about the tower - dctower.at/en/news-details-en/dc-tower-opens-its-doors-to...
The lift we went in is one of the fastest in Europe and is pre-programmed before you get in..... no buttons inside just a display with the floor numbers as you go whizzing upwards at 8 metres per second !! Got to be one of the best views in Vienna having a meal or drink looking out from the 57th/58th floor.
