John and I walked around for some minutes and as we passed by a soccer ground we decided to do our first sketches there. Sketching at a sporting event was a challenging task but fun and we should try it more often (and from inside the sport facility).
In a nearby tavern we had dinner and warmed ourselves up.
Later on, after sundown, we made some drawings at an old suburban line station which was opened in 1898. This station was designed by Otto Wagner, an architect and urban planner famous for his Art Nouveau architecture.
