Winter in the Vineyards
Viennese Escapes


Snow in the Vineyards
Near Lake Neusiedl
Burgenland

"... for a tranquil hour
The lengthening bluish shadows on the snow
Stole down the orchard slope ..."
(William Bliss Carman)

Photographed on
20 December 2010
when I drove about
40 miles south of Vienna
for a school project.
I did not find what I was looking for,
but at found scenes like this instead.

  4. Perfect match of words to photograph! All of the world (in our little corner) is heading off to ski next week, but I'm hellbent on spring.

    Merisi, have you heard of The Hare with Amber Eyes by Edmund de Waal? Some interesting descriptions of Viennese life; I think you would find it fascinating.

    Bee,
    "The Hare with Amber Eyes" is on my wish list, thanks to you!

  6. Wow, this looks more like a precious painting than an actual photograph - what a talent you have, Merisi!
