The image of the first picture
is of roses at the feet of a statue
at the southern side stair landing of the
Upper Belvedere Palace,
photographed in the early morning light.
All other images were
taken in the Belvedere's Alpine Garden.

ReplyDeletethat path is so lovely ... I would want to steal it and take it home!
ReplyDeleteAll of these pictures are wonderful, but the statue melding into dawn sky and the bird are very memorable!
ReplyDeleteVisiting your blog is always so very refreshing.
You know you just have to follow those half hidden steps. What is it about such a path that draws the mind?

ReplyDeleteToday I posted a walk in a beautiful park in the center of Madrid. I am lucky to live next door to it. It made me realize that European parks have a lot in common.
