Viennese Moments


Say It Ain't So, George!
Ubiquitious Clooney,
still up
after all the leaves
have fallen.

A Red Rose
All yours.

A Rose Rose
With a touch of white,
and blue sky.

Zuckerbäcker
Café Konditorei Gerstner

Where life is a bowl of chocolates,
and you know what you're gonna get:
The very best!

The Rose Is A Rose,
And was always a rose.
Or so,
Said Robert Fros e t.

One Chandelier
does not make a winter.
Neither does one gray day!

*

The roses were plucked from
Vienna's Rose Garden in the Volksgarten,
George Clooney smiled from high above
Schwarzenbergplatz,
the seduction by chocolates almost happened
at Gerstner's Kärnter Strasse shop window,
and the silver chandelier
swayed high above Graben square.
All photographed this past Sunday,
November 16, 2008

Clicking on the images
will lead you astray.
In a good way.

    Wandring Star,
    roses may be mentioned,
    but not the C-word, pleeease. ;-)
