The Secession Pavilion is one of my all time favourite Art Nouveau buildings in Vienna - thank you for showing it.
ReplyDeleteLovely. Makes me think of a giant cup of tea.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful building and what wonderful foresight finally to have it retired!
ReplyDeleteWonderful building. Love that angle in your top shot. The sky and clouds are a perfect backdrop.
ReplyDeleteLots of artistic sites were so badly damaged in WWII. It was certainly bad for enjoyers of art among us.
ReplyDeleteOh one of my favourite buildings, and so difficult to capture, with the busy road directly in front ! Congratulations for catching some fine detail in bright light.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful touch of gold to the day.
