  7. Saz,
    yes, 14 Euros.
    Probably why I have not bought one so far.
    I am also more a cup and saucer type. ;-)
    I know a French cafe' here in Vienna that serves the coffee in bowls, but those are from IKEA.

  10. I love how you see compositions in the ordinary things around you. Vivid colors. Each picture has so much to study and look at.

  15. Hello Merisi,

    Looks as if the intrepid one who wanted to venture deeper into the snow of that prior post just might have had determination rewarded. (No matter what the author thought of that other snow.)

    I can just see a glimpse of snow round that bicycle's parking spot.

    Every one of these pictures is a gem.

    (Hoping that the treasure that is Demel's does not know you have been in other areas for a while!) Or maybe not, maybe just not showing us the evidence. xo

  17. Thanks for visiting my blog, and your comment led me here. You have a great blog with fantastic pictures. The first picture with the bicycle is perfect, fascinating colors and superb composition. I'll be visiting your blog frequently; I've never been to Vienna but your pictures will take me there.

  18. Hello Merisi! These are thrilling images! I also find interesting to photograph the shop windows (however, I must say everything is interesting when one has a camera)!
    Happy weekend!

  19. Wow, I love that bike...my passion.

  20. Love, love, love the color! We need it this time of year. Thanks!

  21. Oh I love those blue tiles.
    You could almost be at the seaside.
    What kind of building are they on?
    What does the rest of the building look like?

  22. Thank you all for your visit and your kind comments,
    I appreciate each and every one immensely! :-)


    Frances,
    Demel will always be #1 in my heart,
    I just try to walk through different districts every now and then (which is easy, I take a couple metro or streetcar stops more and then walk back to where I needed to go).


    Freefalling,
    the whole building is painted that eclectic shade of light blue, apartments in the upper floors, the lower floor is occopied by a glass shop (itself worth exploring: I could spend my life out there digging deeper *smile* - wish I could!).

  23. No Friday post indeed. Harrumph!

  24. @ Badger,
    it's a pity, though! ;-)

  26. Ohhh and Ahhh, the bol du cafe au lait with its rosy flowers...as an American I always thought European fingers must get pretty hot on those handle-less cups, but this design is so beautiful I wouldn't care. I want it!
