Morning in the City
Christmastime in Vienna


Albertina Square
A chandelier inside Café Mozart,
an equestrian statue reflected in the window


A Viennese Commuter
Fiaker on his way to work,
everyone's bundled up against the chill


Albertina Palais
A coachman keeps his horses
warm with cozy blankets


Graben near St. Stephen's Cathedral
Earnest photographers at work -
better make sure to capture the cathedral,
who knows, it may be gone by afternoon


Christmas Trees
Graben Square has turned into
one giant Christmas tree lot -
wait, have I just spotted Santa Claus?

    1. It is not too cold, actually (says someone who looks at the weather report and sees that south of the Mason-Dixon Line there's a whole lot of snow - none here.
