  3. The verdigris on the dome of Karlskirche blends elegantly with the green foliage of the trees. You certainly have an eye for colour combinations.

    It is almost impossible not to find splendid colour combinations here in Vienna.

    @ Paris Breakfasts:
    Merci,

  12. @ Allie:
    I have walked by that reflecting pool so many times, and it exudes a different mood each time I see it.

    @ Photowannabe:
    Evening hours are magical around there. I should have been hurrying, I was already late to a meeting, when all I wanted to do was linger. ;-)

  16. @ Charles Gramlich:
    Fountains in church yards and squares are quite common, whereas I do not remember another reflecting pool. Now I wonder ... ;-)

  17. Beautiful shots, Merisi. The first reflection shot is a great composition. Sorry I've been AWOL for so long - blame it on the new job.

    Yes, the Golden and the Blue Hours are magical. Mornings are also precious. I was at Karlsplatz before seven this morning, a whole different light story to tell.

  21. Hi Merisi,
    Since I know your blog, I sometimes try to walk through Vienna with your "eye" for detail, light, atmosphere, composition, beauty... It's not so easy, but you make it perfect!
    Needs a lot of practice, I guess, but also of talent! Great! I admire you!
    Regards, Maria

  22. The yellow in these images is very cheerful.

    I have never seen a church like that one. The towers are interesting.

    God bless.
