Thanks to David McMahon and Quintessential MagpieI discovered Susan's wonderful “Outdoor Wednesday ” project.
Feel free to visit, even join her,
after all we have mightily endulged ourselves
over the last couple of days. ;-)
And who knows,
there may be another cup of coffee or tea
waiting for us tomorrow! :-)
Enjoy!
Wonderful architecture, repetition of line, windows, etc, and that golden statue amidst all of these is a gem. This opened window might just be my favorite, though--and the wall next to it is so rich and lush!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous. I imagine it hasn't changed all that much since he walked those streets.
ReplyDeleteyour photos are absolutely beautiful. I have drawn a link to my history of coffee and art in Vienna, if that is ok.
ReplyDeleteWe will always have Vienna!!
thanks

What fantastic photos! (I popped over from Barbara Martin's blog)
ReplyDeletehis number 7 is a particular favorite.....
ReplyDeleteI like the second photo - the snow appears to be powdered sugar dusting the cupola. I guess my mind is still at Demel's - with the sugary treats ;)
ReplyDeleteA Brush with Color,
ReplyDeletethis is one of my favorite "hidden" corners in all of Vienna. Every time I walk up there, I feel as if I am leaving the noisy present and entering the quiet of a 19th Century town. Not that it was always so peaceful up there, Beethoven living in the Pasqualati-Haus meant he was living at the top of the city wall. In 1909, when Napoleon attacked the city with cannon fire, Beethoven's building became what nowadays would be called collateral damage and he had to flee his home.
Willow,
ReplyDeleteyou are right, according to the sources I have consulted so far, everything looks pretty as it did 200 years ago.
Lovely photos. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful blog you have! This is a great post for Outdoor Wednesday. I love Wien and all the music history -- well, also Salzburg and Prague. I need to return to visit Mozart's grave.
ReplyDeleteAll the best, Lana
Hels,
ReplyDeleteyou are welcome!
I enjoyed reading your Vienna essay,
thank you for the link! :-)
Barrie,
welcome to Vienna! :-)
Simon,
oh yes, it was a winner, the moment I set eye on it! :-)
Hexe,
You are getting into the right frame of mind here! *giggle*
Any Viennese would call that delicate dusting of snow angezuckert, as if dusted with powdered sugar. ;-)
Melissa Wertz,
ReplyDeletewelcome, thank you! :-)
Lana,
welcome and thank you!
I love Salzburg, my grandparents lived there, I spent my childhood summers with them.
I feel like I've stepped into a dream everytime I visit here...

Oh, your posts make me year to travel and see more of the world.
ReplyDeleteThe gold just glows against the muted colors.
ReplyDeleteSo very lovely.
Merisi, these photographs are absolutely magnificent! One of the places I've always longed to travel is Vienna. I would love to see it and the rest of Austria. I think that all of us who saw "The Sound of Music" fell deeply in love with Austria. What an incredibly beautiful place in any season, but your winter pictures are just breathtaking!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing these...
XO,
Sheila :-)
You never fail to delight with your beautiful photographs Merisi, and your "eye" uncannily catches that which most of us fail to upon first sight. So lovely to glimpse the abode of someone who still touches our lives today. Smile.
ReplyDeleteThat area is so beautiful,and yes it takes you back to a different era of Vienna. First time to see it in cold snow !
ReplyDeleteI hope that things are better after the wallet event.
All best, and thanks
I never tire of looking at the exquisite stylishness of Vienna, especially through your lens :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! Hope all is well with you? Are you off to Venice this year?

Snow in Vienna, ice in Dallas....I would prefer your snow! :D I'm puzzled with the open window. Very interesting. It's sure to be cold.....so why is it open? Hmmmm.
ReplyDeleteHope you are staying warm and feeling better.
