    I think I once bought gloves for my husband in this shop...

    SPACEDLAW,
    the store is only a few steps from Freyung square. I have heard they have the best and widest selection of gloves.

    I love patina, and that particular shade of green. Beautiful. I remember how much I enjoyed learning to replicate "patina" in faux finish painting when I was in design school.

    I love your shots.
    Very atmospheric...

    Such a beautiful color.
    As you know I'm a complete sucker for patina or anything aged and textured.
    A dear friend, who was looking after a little stone angel who used to live in our stream (in the LI days)
    very kindly cleaned off all the moss that had gathered on him. (sob)

    Patina, oh yes. I once bought an old sextant on eBay (I am interested in nautical things). It was grubby and tarnished and so I polished it up with Brasso.
    And then I was criticised for destroying the patina

    I enjoyed this post, thank you.

    Wow, that color is spectacular! I lived in an old building in Long Beach, CA years ago which had a copper roof. Beautiful. The color was more green than the one here.
    Neat pics. I like the red hanging glove too.

    Vienna architecture and sights seem as interesting as Venice. Nice photos.
