The Calm Before the Storm


"Life was like a box of chocolates.
You never know what you're gonna get
."
Well, Forrest, at least the chocolates
at Café Central are harbouring only sweet surprises.
The silver ball reflects the Herrengasse facade
of Palais Ferstel.

And always the ubiquitous glass of water
with your coffee in Vienna

and silver spoons
in a silversmith's shop window

Some people already sunbathing up there!

Can you find
the soccer ball?

  7. The center piece for breakfast was too funny!

    It reminded me of the days when my daughter had soccer balls for doorknobs - oh wait, I think at least one is still intact!

    That red/white rose Ihave in my garden and I think it is at it's best when it fades to cream and crimson.
