If on a Winter's Morning, a Traveler
High up, at Schönbrunn's Gloriette Hill

  1. It does not seem at all lightless. In fact, I am always amazed that your photos are always so full of light.

    1. Thank you!
      I am like a moth, always seeking the light. ;-)
      I miss living in southern climes.

  3. Always good to see your photos Merisi. I must visit your blog directly rather than through facebook which is certainly not the same on I-pad where commenting is not so easy either. Happy New Year to you.

  8. @ La Contessa: Here the short answer (if you click on the label "Gloriette" you'll find more posts and images of the Gloriette, including more about its history):
    Gloriette.
    Eye-catcher, or pavilion in a garden from which views may be enjoyed, e.g. Hohenburg's Gloriette at Schönbrunn, Vienna (1775).
