Early Morning at Melk Abbey
Merisi's Viennese Escapes


Arriving at Melk Abbey
High above the Danube river


Soon, the sky will clear
and the midsummer sun


will feast off the morning dew
served by Aurora on poppies and meadows

Melk Abbey
Lower Austria
Less than an hour's drive
west of Vienna, on the Danube river

    Not only the photos themselves, but also your brief poem, about them.

  6. Melk Abbey is a place I've always wanted to see ever since it first came to my notice on a Rick Steves' travel program. Didn't know about all the gorgeous gardens around it though.

  7. We were just watching a show about Vienna, and there was a segment on Melk. Stunning photos, as always!
