Gustav Klimt's Neighborhood, III
The leafy 13th District: Hietzing



Early Midsummer Morning
Under the sheltering

canopy of trees
the cool of the night

clings to the shadows,
throwing one last temper tantrum
before leaving the reign
to midsummer's heat, again


Photographed early this morning
in the 13th District

    It's a pleasure to move slowly through a neighborhood which has such beautiful details to savor.

  3. Love the tender, early morning light--and those architectural details on the building which somehow echo the tiny detailed perfection of the flowers below.

  5. Exquisite detail on the buildings. The greenery against the white is stunning.
    I love the framing of the first shot. Its has a very musical feel to it. (I don't know how else to explain it.)

  6. Gorgeous shots and what wonderful summer weather you're having! I'm en route at the moment from a rainy France to a rainy England. Clearly Vienna is the place to be!

  9. Simply glorious . . . The first photo combining manmade 'greenery' with real is quite unreal! Beautiful composition. Love the pale pinks and blues with the overtones of the spring green . . . so elegant and peaceful . . .
