  6. Have you read Williaam Carlos Williams' poem The Red Wheelbarrow? It begins "So much depends upon a red wheelbarrow" Your pictures reminded me of the poem and the power of the color red.

  8. What a wonderful way to spend a morning. And since I can't be there, I'll make another cappuccino here. Thanks Merisi for helping me get away through your photos!

  10. A Brush with Color,
    thank you!
    These late August days are simply glorious, and the glassy light in the morning really brings out the reds and oranges. ;)

    Charles Gramlich,
    the city is wonderful, all I have to do is point my camera (all I wished for were more time, to wander for days, aiming at and capturing all those images that present itself).

    willow,
    I am looking forward to take the time and read your Lisbeth Zwerger!
    Thank you. ;-)

    Bridget,
    merci!
    "Love that red", oh yes,
    must have been created in Vienna on a late August day. ;-) .

    lorenzothellama,
    it's the time of the year,
    the light is just brilliant! :-)

    somepinkflowers,
    how about a Jour Fixe in Vienna? I will try hard to make you happy! ;-)
    I must get that book!
    Thank you for pointing it out to me. :-)

    hexe,
    poems do that to you, don't they?
    Thank you to introducing me to this one! :-)
