My favorite was the one from Wollzeile. I could see curling up here with coffee and good book.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous -- that first picture and that beautiful color -- and the second with the mysterious sheer curtain -- and the leas with the snow - - and - - and --
ReplyDeletesuch an IMAGINATIVE (and lovely) collection of images.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images, beautiful words. Pessoa keeps appearing here in blogworld. I will have to find his work. Thank you, Merisi! (love that first door--or is it a window?)
ReplyDelete@ ds:
ReplyDelete"The Book of Disquiet" is available as a Penguin Classics paperback. Good to have on hand, not only in moments of disquiet. ;-)

@ lakeviewer,
ReplyDeleteyou are welcome,
and thank you!
@ Gypsy Purple,
good to have you back! :-)
@ Sandi McBride,
I was going to answer that it's a lovely sleepy hollow, but that could be misunderstood. ;-)
Just past that house I drove right into the clouds, or fog. I had an eerie feeling, I confess. ;-)
@ Hexe,
ReplyDeleteI'll show you the place during your next visit to Vienna.
You'd sit a floor above the pavement, looking down. *grin*
@ Vicki Lane,
ReplyDeleteyes, that first picture,
the beloved Strudlhof Steps:
Any way you turn, beauty.
@ Tash,
ReplyDeletethank you!
Sometimes I feel bad about images "left on the cutting floor" - this post was an exercise in finding a connection among just such images. ;-)
