of the sunroom roof of what was once
architect Otto Wagner's private residence,
nestled in the foothills
of the Vienna Woods

of the portico's frieze

Autumn is like King Midas - everything she touches turns to gold :-).
ReplyDeleteDear Zosia,
ReplyDeletethank you for your kind comment, I could not agree more!
Dear readers,
I am back in Vienna. Unfortunately a bit sidelined by some unfriendly bug, or whatever. Well, completely sidelined, I have to admit.
Thank you all for still coming back, even though there is not much I can share right now.
Yours,
Merisi
Wonderful ! Autumn in Wien will be a Dream...And allways all these beautiful houses...
