New Year's Eve


“New Year's eve is like every other night;
there is no pause in the march of the universe,

no breathless moment of silence among created things
that the passage of another twelve months may be noted;

and yet no man has quite the same thoughts this evening that come with the coming of darkness on other nights”
Hamilton Wright Mabie

  14. I love the colours in the sky!! And I was amused to see the satelite dishes in juxtaposition with the ancient buildings!! In Canada, an old building is anything over 50 years, so different from Vienna!

  19. Hi Merisi, I have been out of circulation for a while and it has been a treat to browse through your site again. I always say that this is where I come for my fix of culture. Definitely more so after the ruggedness of Lesotho.
    Thanks for your visit and I hope you have a really great 2010
