Autumn in Klimt's Neighborhood
Merisi's Postcards from Vienna

Late Afternoon
The sky looked almost white,
the sun a washed-out lemony pallor,
a moody autumn elegy all around,
were it not for the leaves still on the trees
that refused to tone down their golden splendor

Snowberries
When was the last time
you picked one of those berries
and let it pop?

November hues
for Klimt's paintbox

Photographed this afternoon
in Hietzing, Vienna's 13th District,
a short walk from where Gustav Klimt
had his studio the last six years of his life.

  1. I saw the Egon Schiele exhibit at the Guggenheim, Bilbao, Spain. I'd like one day to visit the Albertina in Vienna to see both Schiele and Klimt.

  2. A beautiful look at autumn in your world today, Merisi! I love all that gold color as well as well as Klimt's neighborhood. Great captures as always!

  3. Great neighborhood , indeed!
    The golden leaves of autumn do recall Klimt's paintings!

  4. Merisi, it's so good to see that Mother Nature has kept Vienna's autumn treasure trove intact while you were away.

    The colors are splendid. Does it seem strange to you to return to the special light, that is so different from America's mid-Atlantic?

    It was so much fun to see how your eye and camera translated places familiar to me over here. I wonder how many other readers were previously aware of Maggie Valley?

  5. Welcome back in Europe! Poland's autumn has entered the more bare and grey phase. Nice to see a bit of gold.
