The many Shades of Green
Viennese Moments


Burggarten Palmenhaus

The conservatory was built during the first years
of the 20th century, to plans by architect Friedrich Ohmann

of what was once part of the old city wall,
between Burggarten and Albertina Palace

  1. Palmenhaus Green would be a very lovely colour for a bedroom or even a kitchen or.. a garden shed.

  6. Merisi, at this time of the year, I guess that many of us have got green anticipation rolling round our heads.

    I so love all the shades of green that botany provides, and yet have a difficult time, in my artistic attempts via paint, colored pencils, or whatever else, to adopt green into my favored colorways. I wonder why that is so? Perhaps I just bow to nature's wise power?

    Meanwhile, let me tell you how beautiful this post's photos are, and how they made me consider green in a new way.
