In the center of the city,
this mysterious path
leads you
into a veritable fairytale land
filled with
red-hatted gnomes
and fairies
in rose-coloured garb
ready to dance
and stand on their heads
and a faun,
napping.
Beware,
this is all
you'll see
when you fall
out of your dream!

Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteA beatiful day like that is enough to make anyone want to stand on their head for joy!
ReplyDeleteFaries and fauns? Perhaps, but I see magic in all your work, Merisi.
ReplyDeleteMagical escapism is all around us if only we look. Beautiful photos, Merisi.
ReplyDeleteThose autumn colours are beautiful, Merisi!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great little story. Like a flash fiction in poetry and pics.
ReplyDeleteI just love the park at the moment and make sure I go there every day to see the Ducks.
ReplyDeleteLove the gnome and fairies...precious!
ReplyDeleteMerisi, I know that it will not surprise you to read that ... when I saw some of these photos, I wondered if you might be walking in Central Park today. The pathways, and trees, and even some of the lamps and benches, make be take a very long look.
ReplyDeleteGrand to share this response. How I wish that I would feel the same when my eyes are fixed on those pastries and melanges at Demel's.

A magical afternoon indeed!
ReplyDelete...soooo lovely!!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful as always, Merisi. Looks like the weather is still quite lovely in your part of the world!
ReplyDeletefaeries in the city... your eye and vision is comforting.
ReplyDeleteI've seen that gnome with a red hat before:-)
ReplyDeleteNow I am really missing autumn. Here it is green green green all the year through. Thanks for the walk through Viennese wonderlands.
Gorgeous. It does look like a fairyland.

The first photo makes me think of the jungle and I'm staying with that thought...Yummy
ReplyDeleteI do love your whimsical mind, Merisi. These are glorious, golden images.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous autumn photos. You have such a beautiful view of the world.
