  2. Good morning, Merisi.

    While having my morning cup of Italian roast coffee, I have had such fun feasting my eyes over coffees in Arles and Vienna, marveling at the wonderful light in each of your photos.

    The blue hour is remarkable.

    The stroller on the hallowed steps makes me smile, as does that blue watering can.

    Arles is another place I think I would like to visit. The photography show must have been remarkable. Perhaps the August weather was also remarkable in its own way?

    Best wishes. xo

    I love the blue watering can in the window. Lovely.

  4. Such lovely dreaming pastels! And how different from your shots of Provence. Your camera found the soul of both places.

  9. Thank you all for your wonderful comments! :-)

    Dorte,
    the Bakery Museum is quite interesting and the Altwiener Apfelstrudel in the little cafe' is great!
    The restaurant has such cozy rooms, I want to try it at the next opportunity. Everybody was extremely friendly and helpful.

    Thank you for letting me get close to understanding what is there.
