of the gardens.
A dark mass of cloudslifts just enough to expose
a red evening sky.
The western façade of Schönbrunn Palaceglows in reddish-golden sunset light.
To the east,a herd of clouds
wearing a dash of pink.

A true symphonic sunset. Lovely Merisi.
ReplyDeleteThese clouds do like they are right out of an oil painting!
ReplyDeleteMerisi, we just watched the convert on TV!!! It was so lovely to see all the people walking home through the park, there was still just enough light to see a bit of colour. Somehow the concert was even nicer knowing you were there.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for the kind comments!
ReplyDeleteArija -
that is so exciting, you actually watched the concert on TV?
You will have seen scenes of Vienna too, like Stadtpark and Heiligenstadt, where Beethoven lived - among other places in Vienna. I took pictures in Heiligenstadt this past week (see the window post), but have more in store. The time to publish all I got is so limited! ;-)
Oh, you have captured that evening stratocumulus so well, and the atmosphere of the evening. I can almost imagine the anticipation and excitement of the start of the concert!
ReplyDeleteBreathtaking!
ReplyDeleteWe've actually be having some "weather" here in SoCal and have beautiful clouds, not just fog! So I have been busy with my camera. Your shots are truly enviable Merisi.
