I'd have liked to see that top pic of the table before all the goodies had been devoured - now that, I'm sure, would have been inspirational! Perhaps I should send you on a quest for cakes - sachertorte, gugelhupf, schwartzwalderkirschtorte, Linzertorte, apfelstrudel... are you up for the challenge? ;-)
Drat, my comment seems to have been eaten! Let me try again:
I hope the rest of the week is inspiring for you, Merisi.
Re that top pic, I think I would have liked it if you'd got there before all the goodies had been eaten or drunk - now that would have been inspiring. Perhaps I should send you on a quest for the perfect cake shot - Sachertorte, Linzertorte, Gugelhupf, Schwartzwalderkirschtorte, Apfelstrudel, Dobostorte, Baisertorte... Now that should be inspiring to all of us! Are you up for it? :-)
"A" for effort! Is that a watermelon? Beautiful! Some Mondays start out slow, but you'll pick up steam and inspiration as the week goes on, I'm sure. Happy Monday, Merisi.....relax and enjoy just being in such a beautiful place as Vienna. ~Allie
Absolute Vanilla (and Atyllah), thank you! :-) I have been a bit "negligent" as far as sweet goodies are concerned. If and when I eat something sweet during summer, it is strudel. Rhubarb, cherries, sour cherries, apricots, plums, I have been through them all since May, at Demel's. Tough life, isn't it?
Those watermelon carvings always amaze me. And these flowers are all beautiful! Thanks for the welcome as I open my computer tonight after my latest journey. Happy Monday!
Good Morning ~ Your beautiful photos need no words or catchy captions - they tell a story all on their own. I love the watermelon carving - and respect how much work someone put into creating that piece of edible art. Thanks for sharing - I always enjoy my visits here.
I am just taken with Demel after seeing it so often in your posts. I would just park myself at a little table there if I were in Vienna. And someone actually left some food and drink! How could they?
Merisi: You found me and now I've found you. What wonderful pictures, that cup of coffee speaks to me, and I bet it tastes better than a latte from my local coffee bar.
I shall definately take your advice and give my shakey technique a good try.
Monday
"Blogger's Block" -
ReplyDeletethe least I could do was finding a rose or two for you,
until more creative posts come along!
A great start of the week to all of you! :-)
Your opening photo has such a nice vintage quality to it. Love it!
ReplyDeleteAnd an inspired rest of the week to you, Merisi!

I will try to rise to your challenge, though. ;-=
Allie,
ReplyDeleteyes, that's a watermelon, spotted at the Karmeliter Markt in the Second District. Amazing food carving, isn't it? Thank you for the "A"! ;-)
Charles Gramlich,
another one of those gorgeous roses in the Volksgarten's Rose Garden.
Those watermelon carvings always amaze me. And these flowers are all beautiful! Thanks for the welcome as I open my computer tonight after my latest journey. Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteWhat about some dogs or other animals pictures?

Great post.
Over from David's
A brush with color,
ReplyDeleteI still haven't figured out how anyone could carve a watermelon like that. Safe travels to you!

ReplyDeleteI just got back from Vienna and loved it!
ReplyDeleteThe city is wonderful but of course, my trip was too short.
I found you through other blogs I've been reading.
Nice to meet you,
Alida
Deb,
ReplyDeleteyou are welcome!
Next time I happen to visit the green grocer with the carved melon, I shall inquire about his craft.
Alida Thorpe,
welcome, and thank you for your kind words! May you return to see more of Vienna soon. :-)
Hello !
ReplyDeleteDe très jolies photos...
Les deux premières sont très romantiques !

Ah, Merisi - You give us so much beauty. I love the shot of the gardens being watered. And the watermelon! Very intricate carving. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThat's the way I prefer my Mondays ... if only I were there ..
ReplyDelete:-:-Daryl
Webradio,
ReplyDeletemerci beaucoup! :-)
Eileen,
I "stole" the picture while the diners were leaning back in their chairs! Exhausted, from all that good food, I suppose. ;-)
Moannie,
welcome to my blog! :-)
Definitely, grab that camera and give her the works! ;-)
Suldog,
thank you!
It fills my heart with pleasure, being able to share the beauty I encounter! :-)
Daryl,
*smile*
Ah! That watermelon is gorgeously impressive! Wow. Seems a shame to have to eat it. :-)
