Rust- The town of Storks

I went to the city of Rust, which some of the houses rusts(not really). But this is not the main point. When I looked up the sky, There were many storks resting in their nests, but it's not at the trees, it's on the chimneys!







Luckily those 'volcanos' aren't active anymore. If they are, those eggs up there would be scrambled in less then a hour. I saw that those stork have a 'sea' of their own. People protected a lake only for storks which contained lots of fish that they can enjoy. Some storks stand very still. They stand without moving that you can't tell if it's reallife or fake.







So why are storks treated like celebrities?

In Western culture the White Stork is a symbol of childbirth. In Victorian times the details of human reproduction were difficult to approach, especially in reply to a younger child's query of "Where did I come from?"; "The stork brought you to us" was the tactic used to avoid discussion of sex. This habit was derived from the once popular superstition that storks were the harbingers of happiness and prosperity, and possibly from the habit of some storks of nesting a top chimneys, down which the new baby could be imagined as entering the house.

Since Austria was Western, This myth was believed.



So long!
