Down by the Vienna River
Stadtpark Excursions


The Wien River
Looking down from high above the right bank,
onto the sun-gilded riparian band of the left shore,
nestled in a white-dusted wintry landscape
after the night's snowfall
Stadtpark

The Fawn-In-Residence
looking up, shielding his eyes
from the bright morning sun

Winter Sky
White clouds sailing past
red and gold Christmas baubles
shining among potted reeds

Breakfast
A table in this pristine glassed-in

    Merisi, the first photo of the Wien river is a work of art - so beautiful I could stare at it forever. It's always such fun to come to your blog. And thanks for the memories of San Marco in Venice - wow, you certainly were up early to catch the square in what must be a rare moment of peaceful solitude!

    Love the photograph of the fawn!

    And for a minute there, I lost myself in the grandeur that is Vienna!
