Sunday Walk

The Night Kitchen
Naglergasse

I had left the Rose Garden at the Burgtheater exit,
leaving the clouds and snowflakes behind,
walking once again under blue skies
by the time I reached Freyung Square!

Peterskirche
Walking along Graben,
I looked up to a deep blue sky
beyond the verdigris cupolas
of St. Peter's church.
Only 21 minutes had passed
since I photographed the roofs of the Hofburg
from the Rose Garden,
gone were clouds and snowflakes!

This brass butterfly opens
the door to an establishment
on Graben Street, only steps from
the Altmann and Kühne Confiserie.

Altmann and Kühne Confiserie
Graben 30

A jewel of a store,
designed by Josef Hoffmann and opened in 1928.
The interior is filled with vetrines
of sweet confectionary and chocolates,
all handmade and in doll sizes,
ready to fill the drawers of the most beautiful boxes,
six dozens and counting, in all sizes and shapes.

Miniature Chest of Drawers
Altmann und Kühne "Alt-Wien" pattern.

Imagine,
a miniature chest of drawers,
still decorated by hand with paper printed with patterns
designed by artists of the Wiener Werkstätte,
and then filled with the tiniest handmade chocolate morsels!
