November Morning in the Stadtpark


Men at Work
Raking the leaves
after the night's rainstorm.

Early Bird
A painter's exhibition,
up in front of the Johann Strauss memorial,
long before the tourists
leave the breakfast table.

Reading and Text Messaging
Old-fashioned newspaper
and modern technology

A Duck's Life
Mallard, cruising in the pond,
with no wolf in sight.

Pavillino Customers Only!
Oh well, that does not refer to
picture taking, does it?

Sunny Side Up
Morning gymnastic in
last night's rain puddle.

Basking in the Sun
Some leaves have
all the luck!

Clicking on the images
will take you on
more Stadtpark strolls.
Enjoy! :-)

  5. Morning gymnastics in a puddle - I love your imagination! Your pictures are not helping with need to experience autumn - 70 plus degrees is not the same.

  6. You should set up an art site of your own...a coffee table book filled with all this beauty...I can picture myself so clearly in some of those photos...kicking leaves, having tea...loved it!

  15. Ummm...basking in the Autumn sun sounds delightful. I think I need to do that today myself. I love your first picture with the workers silhouetted. Good honest work in a glorious setting.
