Spring has arrived literally over night, bring sudden snow melt and rain. Looking towards a hazy Postlingberg you can see the very full Danube in the foreground. If you look closely you can see that the swans are on the bank because the water is too swift to relax in.

I took this looking down from the bridge. You can see how strong the currents are and how murky the water is. It is an amazing sound to hear it rushing past.

As you can see from this photo, the river is too high to allow barges or ships under the bridges, so there is a hold on shipping and travel. Fortunately here in Linz it hasn't really effected us, but there are areas that have suffered a lot from the flooding.
