Easing into Twelfth Night
Christmastide in Vienna


Looking Up
St. Stephen's Cathedral
looming in the background


Christmas Chandeliers
As dusk thickens, the lights shine bright

  1. Delightful, Merisi. I was so mad that we missed those lights so thank you. Apparently they were to be turned on 2 days after we left.

    1. You need to come back!
      As far as I remember, the lights get turned on the latest on Thanksgiving weekend, even earlier, depending on which date turkey feast falls.

    2. Definitely need to stay longer! 2 days is not enough. We left around 12th October.

  2. Charming. Looks like the snows have come late to Europe this year.

    1. One of favorite sights, and there are two, one each corner of a charming building.
