Into the Woods, to Hermes Villa
Vienna's Lainz Game Reserve in Autumn


Brambling on the way to
Empress Elisabeth's Hermes Villa
in a park that once upon a time
was one of the Emperor's game reserves


Mohr im Hemd
Moore with Shirt
A steamed fluffy pudding, made by whipping butter with sugar,
adding finely grated chocolate, cake crumbs, egg whites whipped
to a meringue-like state with sugar, and ground almonds.
The "shirt" is melted semi-sweet chocolate and butter


Red roses under the autumn sun
along the basin of the fountain
in front of the villa
