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

  9. Bright sunshine and cheering vision to enlighten a dull and overcast day. Love the red baubles in the reeds.
