A must on this grey day
Yes, it was raining stair-rods,
but the mood all around
was as cheerful
as the umbrellas

The colors are so beautiful and I love the umbrellas and glitter road.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Dina! :-)
DeleteOh, what fun!! And your captures are the next best thing to being there myself!! Thanks as always for sharing the fun, the color and the beauty!!
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear that you enjoyed the images!
DeleteLovely shots :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colorful shots, nice people!
ReplyDeleteGREAT people, I tried to capture the mood as best as I could (I was soaking wet, my camera's still drying out ;-) )
DeleteWho would have thought that a rainy day could be filled with so much colour!
ReplyDeleteI felt really bad about the diluvial rain coming down all day. Kudos to everyone around for keeping up the festive air and spreading so much joy!
DeleteGREAT images!
ReplyDeleteThey should have been on TV.
Well, Norway did not get 0 points THIS year:)
Austria did make a GREAT EVENT. Well done!
Thank you, Gunn!
DeleteMusic tastes differ, but the collective joy of so many people was something to remember whenever dark news loom!
Thank you for sharing these photos Merisi ! It was a marvelous TV show ! I would have liked that Italy wins, it was my favorite. Conchita is still as beautiful and talented, I like her.
ReplyDeleteThank you Austria !
Hugs
Thank you, Nathanaelle!
DeleteMany in the crowd rooted for Italy, but it was not meant to be. I agree, Conchita's a many-talented artist!
These are all wonderful! The first one is my favorite, it's such a perfect capture all around. Wish I could have stopped by myself.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yes, I wished you'd have been able to join the soaking wet fun!
DeleteMerisi, your fabulous photos do let us see lots of the fun and flair of Eurovision. I've heard about this occasion for years, and know it's a bit like Marmite. Perhaps some day I will actually watch some of the competition and truly form my own opinion...for now, I will rely on the joy in your coverage. xo
ReplyDeleteThe ESC being hosted in Vienna made me experience how much good will and joy it brings to so many people. So, more power to them! :-)
DeleteI heard that we won it again. A horrible song if you ask me, my musical taste is very different from the songs in this competition. But I hope everyone had a good time.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I have seen and experienced, a good time was had by all!
DeleteCongratulations, Sweden!
That looks like too much fun. If it was up to the world's youth. Song, love and understanding would prevail
ReplyDeleteWalking amongst the crowd and talking to people from all over Europe, was really uplifting!
DeleteThe "Conchitas" were so sweet and fun! And hosting Australia was an enriching experience. I wished you'd won, leaving some hope of rehosting the event next year. ;-)
ReplyDeleteawesome ....
