Early Morning at Melk Abbey
Merisi's Viennese Escapes


Arriving at Melk Abbey
High above the Danube river


Soon, the sky will clear
and the midsummer sun


will feast off the morning dew
served by Aurora on poppies and meadows

  1. I really love the dramatic sky in these shots. What a wonderful place in Lower Austria. While recently driving through Austria, we also spotted Poysdorf, which was also very small and charming. Had great countryside too.
