In the Midst of Winter
Christmastime in Vienna

On a dark grey morning,
the terrace of a Stadtpark restaurant

A coachman, bundled up as if Siberia
had moved south, overnight

The Saturday before Christmas Eve,
a Christmas tree lot at Graben Square

Taking a break
from grey skies with Viennese Coffee Mélange
and a festively decorated miniature Sachertorte

  2. Oh that little chocolate treat looks so yummy. I feel like I could just pluck it from the page and enjoy.

    I hope you had a lovely Christmas and I wish you and yours the very best for the New Year.
