  1. I LOVE it when you do a post with a central color theme!!! I don't know why, but I smile and get excited to see what you've captured every time you do it. Orange is a hot color this summer. Thanks for making me a happy "dork" today! :D
    Sunday hugs,

    Unfortunately I had do delay the trip to Viena I was planning to make this year, but your blog continues to inspire me to go. Maybe next year:)

  7. You must shoot hundreds of wonderful photos daily. I don't know how you have the time and patience to post photos within beautiful photos but your blog is always such a treat for the eyes and the soul.

    Merisi, I don't stop by as often as I should but rest assured that when I do, I make a point of catching up on each and every post. Your photography, as always, is magic.

  8. Thank you all so much for your kind comments!

    Hilary,

    I would say that on average, I manage to get out and about to take pictures once a week. When I do, I walk for several hours and come home with around 300 pictures. On other occasions, like the Saturday farmers morning market, I do my weekly shopping there. I get there early, often before seven, to catch the quiet and the morning light. I am often back home before the cafes open at 9am, but when I can, I try to stay for at least a cup of coffee. ;-)

    The photos within photos feature is basically an html code I imbed in the newest picture's code, linking it to previous posts. I does cost a little extra time (and I have never figured out how to let those older pictures open in a new window) - that's why I am not doing it that often - but it also gives me a chance to see what I have photographed before, images that I would not revisit otherwise.

    I save time by publishing what I shoot, i.e. rarely do I spend time trimming my blog photos. My credo is to try to be careful with framing when shooting the pictures and then let them be (after all, I learned to photograph with film). They reflect what I see in that moment of time and I consider that my way to create and capture what I see. I am constantly lamenting not-perfect pictures, but accept it as a necessary learning process and I try to learn from my mistakes.

    My blog has become a learning tool and an incentive to go on taking pictures, to resist throwing away the camera after too many trials and errors, and continue to work on my skills.

    I owe the world to kind people like you, who take the time to not only look at the pictures, but leave a comment, giving me an opportunity to learn how and what other people see. They see so much more than I could on my own.

    I am also grateful to those of you who know Vienna so much better than I do and write me emails, pointing me this way and that and also tell me when they think I should not miss the one or other opportunity (too many that I miss, unfortunately).

    Last but not least, the Viennese themselves, from so many walks of life, who have made me feel at home here from day one.

    Thank you all,
    Merisi
