Sunday Escape


Pick Up Your Hat
and leave behind

that lonely
cup of tea

step out in style
and explore

what's there
beyond the daily grind!

Now close that book
and see

"what we'll do.
near, far, in our motor car" *

Snap, snap!
:-)

Pictures:
1) Box of "Original Lipizzaner Chocolate Balls"
2) Coffee cup by the Viennese Augarten Porcelain Manufactory
3) Free newspapers for transit commuters
4) Antique meat grinders at the Naschmarkt brocante
5) Architect Adolf Loos' "Collected Writings" at Berger Booksellers
6) Old Vienna City Tours in a red open motor coach
7) Tourist - Halbturn Castle, Burgenland
*) Quoted from the movie "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang"

  11. Merisi, I have been having server connections irregularities. What pleasure has come from this evening's massive catch up on your recent posts.

    Lots of variety in the images.

    You made me laugh with the notion of Follies with any day of the week attached. Tuesday Follies?
