Beautiful pictures Merisi. The naked tree in front of the Servitenkirche is a stark reminder of winter. I don't know what a Guglhupf is, but it looks tempting. Maybe it's a kind of confectionery search engine?
ReplyDeleteWV: Smile (honestly!)
Ooooh, I love that photo of the window embellishment. and all the glistening holiday goodies. Lovely. That melange and croissant photo is a painting waiting to happen! ;))

ReplyDeleteGuglhupf can be spelled various ways, Gugelhupf, Gugelhopf, Kugelhupf, Kougelhupf, the possibilities seem to be boundless, until the end of your imagination.
The Guglhupf is always baked in that characteristic high pan, with a vent hole in the middle. It is either made with a sweet yeast dough or with a pound cake batter.

It took me a while to get the pun. Word verification! *smile*
A Brush with Color,
thank you!
I loved how the decorative effect of the stucco got augmented by the shadow play.
Your posts are so prismatic; I could click and click and click . . ..
ReplyDeleteYou're such an artist with your camera and your beautiful city provides a wonderful palette.
ReplyDeletetut-tut,
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of callng "prismatic" posts, thank you! ;-)
Hilary,
thank you! :-)
Oh I adore croissants, especially almond filled ones. Now you have my mouth watering.
ReplyDeleteLove these pictures.
The Vienna coffee shops remind me of my days in London, when I would go to the National Museum followed by a trip to one of the many pastry shops down Villiers Street between Charing Cross and Embankment Tube Stations. There to sit awhile with an exquisite pastry with a good cup of coffee or tea. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful photos, and wouldn't mind a croissant and Illy coffee either ; )
ReplyDeleteCheers!
