Butterfly behind GlassPoor fellow,
what must he think
looking out at the sunnyinterior of the emperor's greenhouse
where everyone but himis free to come and go
or sit outsidein the sunshine?
Photographed Sunday morning at the emperor's greenhouse, built in the early 1900s by Jugenstil architect Friedrich Ohman. It is now home to a tropical butterfly house* and the Palmenhaus Café*

Butterfly behind glass. That's a pretty powerful image. Resonates in me in all kinds of ways.
ReplyDeleteerrr...isn't that a moth per chance?
ReplyDeleteBoy is Spring busting out all over in Vienna!
I should get myself to a park I suppose...
Again, these photos are magic.
ReplyDeleteOrchestral.
I clicked on the links, the panoramic view of the cafe is just incredible. Like dining at Versailles!
I also am impressed with their generous hours -- they do not shy away from night-time service. It's got to be to die for!
Incredible. An adagio of a place.
I could easily spend all day there.
ReplyDeleteEmperor's greenhouse looks a wonderful place!
ReplyDeleteThe emperor's greenhouse is just gorgeous~
ReplyDeleteCharles Gramlich,
ReplyDeletetells of heartbreak, among other things. I really felt for the poor creature. On the other hand, it lives probably a pretty good life, pampered, in the other half of the emperor's greenhouse from where it can do some safe people watching.
Paris Breakfasts:
I would not be surprised if you were right.
I miss my one commentator who always put names to the various creatures I managed to capture.
Cipriano,
yes, quite imperial, indeed. ;-)
