Morning in the City
Viennese Moments

Antique Storefront
The sun slowly pulling
away the shadows of the night

Chairs and Passementerie

a front row seat

Morning Symphony
Shadows and light

  1. The photos may be of years ago, but the light is the same today. Finally, the darkest winter in 50 years has ended. Not only that, but the flu that has taken over my household shows signs of leaving, too. I can't wait to get up and outside again.

    Wishing you all a wonderful weekend, filled with sunshine or whatever you wish for or need,

  2. Sorry to learn that you have been entrenched with the dreaded flu, but happy that you are now on the mend - just in time to greet the spring. Touch wood, it passed over this house, but I know it has really knocked people for six.

  5. The whole world is a play ground for shadows and light, but never more so than at morning and dusk.
