Alfresco Lunch


Carpe Diem!
A construction crew near the Burgtheater
took to the roof of an equipment shed
to better enjoy their lunch
in spring-like temperatures

Meierei im Stadtpark
It was still too early
for the Meierei to be open
when I took this picture in
the early morning sunshine.
It was going to be a great day for
lunch at the terrace overlooking
the river Wien.

Early Morning Reader
This gentleman seemed
totally immersed in the headlines:
Who needs a bench to sit down
when tabloids hold your attention like this
?

while the dog's looking
for squirrels

  10. Unverkennbar, der Frühling hat in Wien bereits Einzug gehalten. Wunderbares Licht und die Menschen scheinen ja so unternehmungslustig zu sein, dass sie sich nicht einmal mehr zum Lesen hinsetzen können.

    Sehr gelungene Bilder.

    liebe Grüße
