Looking Up
Vienna in Spring


The Art of Juxtaposing
In the background the Haas Haus,
a contemporary building not yet 25 years old,
while the palace of the Archdiocesan Churhaus,
a seminary, was built on a spot where in the 13th century
Vienna's first college opened its doors
Stephansplatz 3

  2. Stephansplatz, I can never make up my mind if I like/dislike the old/new here. Some days it looks a hideous clash, other days a bright inspiration.
    Lovely to see the colours, the brightness, the eye for detail in these pictures.

  4. I can only imagine the look of surprise on the maidens face upon opening her eyes to the 'new' spectacle.The wonderful perspective of your photo gives the impression of that feeling. Amazing architecture, old and new.

  11. 'Nice juxtaposition' was exactly what I thought as soon as I saw the first shot.
