  2. I so love coming here. I am going to Italy in a few weeks, but I am beginning to think Vienna should be next - and that is mostly due to your blog.

  5. Merisi, I have had a treat with this morning's breakfast coffee ... seeing the beautiful places that you've been sharing this week.

    The store windows present such a variety of ways in which to have the vintage architecture frame the shops' Now messages.

    The blue and yellow theme is jolly, and will surely cause me to notice blue and yellow combinations around me today.

    And, then I take note of the blue sky above the historic buildings and wonder when I will see that particular blue again here in New York. We are ready to trade in our gray overhang.

  11. Richness of white buildings, the verdigris coloured roof tops, all bring warmth and then add the specialness of these places to you makes them even more specialfor us. Thank you for sharing your world with those whom might not ever make it to your area of the world~

  12. Paris Breakfast,
    somehow your spell did not work:
    Blue skies over Vienna, not a dust speck of a cloud to be seen! I hope it reaches all the way to NYC!


    Frances,
    thank you,
    I hope your skies are blue today!


    Vicki Lane,
    after a lightly overcast sky yesterday, it has cleared up overnight and we enjoy once again the bluest of the blue skies!

    I hope your dream comes true!


    Photowannabe,
    who knows, one fine day? ;-)


    Purest Green,
    I agree! I always love looking at that building,
    even the backside (like Thomas Bernhard did, from the Sacher's outdoor terrace). ;-)

  14. Pat,
    everything takes on a special air with blues skies above!

    Val,

    Mary Howell Cromer,
    thank you so much!
    I love all that verdigris that greets one when looking up in Vienna.
    I hope you do make it to Vienna one fine day, after all!
