Shooting the Freeze at High Noon
Vienna in Winter


The Sunshine Girls
I asked permission to take a picture.
They were enjoying the sunshine
sitting outdoors
on a "Rosenbank"
in subzero weather.
Where else,
but in Vienna?

Photographed today at noon
in Vienna's Rose Garden
Volksgarten

  4. Hi Merisi, Are those Tree Roses wrapped up to protect them from the cold?
    That's how those cute ladies get those rosy cheeks... they sit outside in the sunshine.
