  1. I wonder if the rose feels a little lonely in the park alone?
    For some reason I'm reminded of Oscar Wilde's fairy stories -at least the ones set in gardens.....

  3. Elizabeth,
    if you click on the picture with the rose benches, you will see that this rose had many a playmate out there in the November sunshine! :-)

    Webradio,
    roses are still blooming, as are geraniums in window boxes and other flowers in gardens around Vienna.

  5. Hello from New York,

    One of the brownstone houses on my block is owned by a couple to tend their roses, keep them safe in this big city. Today, as I walked past, those rose bushes were still providing buds. No serious frosts here yet!

    I visited Vienna only once, in 1982. It shocks me to realize how long ago that was.

    I know a few languages, but have no German, and did an experiment in Vienna. Could I just explore the beauty of the city, and its museums and cafes, without a map, and without the language.

    Answer is yes. I have lovely memories of Vienna. But ... I am still a beginner.

  8. Photowannabe:
    The green seats are the so-called "Rosenbänke", "rose benches", meant to create a place to sit down and reflect, under the rose bushes in the Volksgarten's "Rose Garden"-
