Sleepless connections

  • Photographer
    Ľubomír Gottpreis, Slovakia (Slovak Republic)

A late-night metro train of U-Bahn Linie U2 crossing over Praterbrucke
(Praterbridge) in the 2nd District of Vienna. The Kahlenberg
Transmission Tower in the backround is a directional radio transmitter
and television transmission tower at Döbling, the 19th District of
Vienna. Both the types of connection provide people with a non-stop
service they use on everyday basis. No wonder they hardly give
thought to those who make them work around the clock until the
moment the connections for some reasons break down.

I am a university teacher living in Bratislava, capitol of Slovakia. I also spend a lot of time in Vienna. I like travelling mostly around Europe and North America. My photographs from my travels have been displayed in two exhibitions in Bratislava so far. Apart from photography I also make music and write fiction.
