Big Esther looks like someone you wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of. Interesting collection.
ReplyDeleteI'd rather be careful, yes! ;-)
DeleteVery lovely colour captures and fascinating subjects and Esther, oh my ;) She is something else!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mary! :-)
Deletewhat a wonderful statue
ReplyDeleteIndeed!
DeleteHow delightful these photos are, Merisi - a very elegant hallowe'en, although not particularly Big Esther's derriere!
ReplyDeleteAs they say, in the eyes of the beholder! ;-)
DeleteIt's magnificent inside!
ReplyDeleteOh yes! Have followed the link to the homepage?
DeleteI distinctly do NOT recall giving permission for someone to put a statue of me on their front steps! 8-)
ReplyDeleteArtistic licence, my dear! ;-)
DeleteHow beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYes, magnificent!
DeleteSimply ♥ Esther!
ReplyDeleteVLG, ♥nic
Me too! :-)
Deletei love those blue steps!
ReplyDeleteOne of the many wondrous details!
DeleteWhat a fascinating place with so much to photograph. And a wonderful combination of colors. The entrance looks so enchanting with its welcoming golden-lit interior. Looks like Big Esther has changed her color too, from a few years ago (a la your previous post).
ReplyDeleteYes, you are right about Big Esther. During my first years in Vienna, I used to pass by the villa several times a week and very often, I stopped to admire the villa. It changes appearance with the light of day and the seasons, but always magnificent. I had not stopped by for several months, one fine day, Big Esther looked different. I rather liked her previous appearance.
DeleteBig Esther is amazing ...
ReplyDeleteThanks, Merisi for your and Godfrey's showing
ReplyDeleteus some highlights of Vienna---we especially
liked the Cafe you reserved for us.
Many good wishes,
Bob and Gayle Coleman
Simply fabulous, what a beautiful city.
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic architecture, colourful, has fun elements /statues etc. and is a "must "place to visit. I will add it on my list!:)
ReplyDeleteI like your pictures so much. That villa is beautiful
ReplyDeleteI hardly know what to say about Big Esther -- but she reminds me of one of my characters -- Big Lavinia.
ReplyDeleteAnd what a house!
Love the back view of Big Esther, really nice balanced composition. You certainly know all the interesting places Merisi..
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful photos, I love the colours. There's the added bonus that Big Esther makes me feel quite trim!
ReplyDeleteBig Esther probably generates lots of attention and comments from viewers.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful artwork/sculpture and the villa is gorgeous. This is my first visit to your blog. Lovely photography.
ReplyDeletei think i am in love with Big Esther ... she should meet Botero's Adam ... just sayin'
ReplyDeleteFantastic! Love this post.
ReplyDeleteSad to read of the death of Ernst Fuchs on 9 November, sad loss of a visionary and colourful artist.
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful building. Big Esther is superb! I have been to Vienna many times and never visited this villa. Thanks for introducing me to its delights :)
ReplyDeleteOh that staircase! I love the pop of colour.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's some mansion and that's some statue!
