Vienna JosefstadtIn the blue evening sky,
A few dainty clouds move about,
taking on a faint hue of pink
from the setting sun.
At the corner ofMaria-Treu- and Piaristengasse
pediment and frame of a window
shimmer in the western light.
Josefstädter Strasseresplendent in the Golden Hour's
glow.
One last generous shaft of sunlight illuminates
the outdoor tables
at Café der Provinz.
After this last rebellion,the golden light concedes
its brush to the Blue Hour.
Twilight rushes in,painting everything in blue light,
before darkness sets in.
I sit down,with one last cup of coffee,
and listen to the churchbells'
Evensong.

Absolutely stunning photos and narrative. Such beautiful architecture against the sky!
ReplyDeleteThese are very, very nice. I especially like that shaft of light over the cafe.
ReplyDeleteThere is something quite special about Italian light...or perhaps it is that there is something special about Italian evenings? Whatever the case, this is just lovely.
ReplyDeleteExtraordinary how in Vienna the sky is almost always visible through the web of wires and tram lines... as if a net has been cast over the entire city. Lovely images, as ever.
ReplyDeleteAnother extraordinary day out culminating in a cup of coffee to end the day. How perfect!
