Vienna in Winter: Prince Eugene's Belvedere
The Privy Garden on a rainy Day in February


At Prince Eugene's Belvedere
A walk in the prince's
Privy Garden on a rainy day
at the end of February

A glimpse of the
Salesian Church on Rennweg

Garden walls and a wrought iron gate
that leads to the terraced gardens beyond,
connecting the Lower Belevedere Palace to
the Upper Palaces on top of the hill

Stone steps and brick walls
with espaliered trees

A view of from the Privy Garden
of the Lower Belvedere's Orangerie

A Hooded Crow,
reflected in a rain puddle
in one of the garden's fountains

Photographed in the afternoon of 28 February 2012

  1. Dear Readers:
    I have turned off word verification some time ago. Works wonderfully, no spam comments to speak of (one or two in over a year, that is).

    Comment moderation is on for posts older than a day. That way none of your comments on older posts escapes my attention (I love and appreciate each and every one, thank you for taking the time to leave one and make me smile!). It also has the added benefit that, again, you can comment without going through the time-consuming word verification step which lately has become quite a hassle.

    Should comment verification appear, due to some technical glitch that escapes me, please let me know. I'll try to set it right as soon as possible.

    A wonderful day to all of you,
    Merisi

  3. What a beautiful garden -- an entire wall of espalier! But what really got my attention was the iron gate.

  4. What a beautiful garden -- an entire wall of espaliered trees (my favorite)! But what really got my attention was that iron gate. Incredible!
