Photographed Sunday morning at the emperor's greenhouse, built in the early 1900s by Jugenstil architect Friedrich Ohman. It is now home to a tropical butterfly house* and the Palmenhaus Café*

Butterfly behind glass. That's a pretty powerful image. Resonates in me in all kinds of ways.
ReplyDeleteerrr...isn't that a moth per chance?
ReplyDeleteBoy is Spring busting out all over in Vienna!
I should get myself to a park I suppose...
Again, these photos are magic.
ReplyDeleteOrchestral.
I clicked on the links, the panoramic view of the cafe is just incredible. Like dining at Versailles!
I also am impressed with their generous hours -- they do not shy away from night-time service. It's got to be to die for!
Incredible. An adagio of a place.
I could easily spend all day there.
ReplyDeleteEmperor's greenhouse looks a wonderful place!
ReplyDeleteThe emperor's greenhouse is just gorgeous~
ReplyDeleteCharles Gramlich,
ReplyDeletetells of heartbreak, among other things. I really felt for the poor creature. On the other hand, it lives probably a pretty good life, pampered, in the other half of the emperor's greenhouse from where it can do some safe people watching.
Paris Breakfasts:
I would not be surprised if you were right.
I miss my one commentator who always put names to the various creatures I managed to capture.
Cipriano,
yes, quite imperial, indeed. ;-)
