  1. I love all the pictures you do, they are so beautiful. You must spend hours getting just the right ones.

  2. I am a very quick point and shooter, and Vienna is a place where it is hard not to take pictures! The posts are mostly spur of the moment creations. I am surprised again and again by the outcome of my own postings. :-)

    I see the flaws in my pictures. With so many perfect images of Vienna out there, I would never dare to compete with them. I had my doubts about my "occasional" photography being so exposed, but resolved that this blog should stay the way I started it with: A little daily note with pictures from my new hometown, originally meant to document my new life here, for the friends I left behind in the United States late in the summer of 2005.

    I am humbled that it also brings home so many aspects of the world we live in. Through kind visitors like yourself I feel connected to the wider world out there. I appreciate and enjoy your comments immensely.

  4. "Who killed Cock Robin?"

    "I" said the sparrow "with my bow and arrow.
    "I killed Cock Robin".

  5. So beautiful, Merisi!
    The first two especially stunning.
    I am in NY and went to the Neue Galerie with Paz.
    We had hot chocolate in the cafe overlooking Central Park - and thought of you.
    It is just like a Viennese coffee shop

    Runcible fellow, that sparrow!
    Where's detective Vance?

    Elizabeth:
    Image, a Marrakesh-New York-Vienna connection! May we hope for pictures?
    I once heard talk about this cafe on an Austrian radio station, lamenting the non-smoking policy there. ;-) Enjoy your visit!

  8. The lady and the rosh bushes seem to have similar character traits, sort of rather safe than sorry, don't they? It was a beautiful afternoon, the birds calling loudly all around, and the rose benches full with people enjoying the sunshine.

  10. You do show a spring-like look in these photos!

    Don't know the link. When I click on the last picture, it simply takes me back to the same entry...
