All the other images
found a few blocks down
at Porzellangasse in the windows of
Zweigstelle
The flower shop that chases
away grey winter doldrums!
The shop's name is meant to be tongue in cheek:
Zweigstelle means "branch",
like in "branch of a bank",
while a Zweig alone is a "twig".

Lovely! Love the colors. I don't remember the 9th District ... I'll have to look back through pictures to see if I ever visited. I lived in the 19th District ... Grinzing ... though, I don't believe it's called that anymore?!
ReplyDeletePink elephants -ok - but pink bulldogs? Help!
ReplyDeleteKelly,
ReplyDeleteGrinzing is still Grinzing and I am sure it will always be Grinzing! ;-)
Do you remember the Volksoper at Währinger Gürtel is? Drive towards the First District on Währinger Strasse and all that is to your left is the 9th (Alsergrund). The Strudlhof Steps are there, the Liechtenstein Museum and Park, Servitenkirche (put Alsergrund or any of the names above in the search window of my blog, you should find images to jog your memory).
Jinksy,
Quite fantastic, aren't they?
Candles, I think. Not for the dog lover. ;-)
Every day I check out your photographs, and every day I'm amazed anew.
ReplyDeleteLove the spires and the beautiful blue horse!
ReplyDeleteI love this sequence Merisi. There's an anticipation, just now, that the return of colour is just around the corner.
ReplyDeleteHello Merisi,
ReplyDeleteFound you through Tongue in Cheek. Enjoyed your blog. Will keep reading.
...DELIGHTFUL colour-cominations...and subject matter...; pink and blue...no grey....so lovely and joyful...so pleasant!!!!!!

I sympathize with the longing for color -- but those are some lovely shades of grey in your first photo.
ReplyDeleteYou painted it! Joyful
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and fantastic post !! Amazing shots !! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThank you Merisi for brightening up the day...fantastic to see so much colour.
ReplyDeleteIt snowed here again today,and now wet and very miserable :-(
This is a great collection of colourful finds! Very cool post!
ReplyDeletewe humans are such funny creatures...always wanting the opposite of what we have. Some are craving snow... others cant wait for heat again. We're never happy...
ReplyDeleteI remeber a sign around the clock in my old classroom that said "time will pass...will you?"
Winter too will pass... ;-)
You certainly found some colour amongst the white out and grey Merisi. Interesting to see your profile photo, as is always the case you look different to what I imagined.
ReplyDeleteDelightful Merisi. the picture of the orange hands reaching towards the neon green is spectacular. A real prize winner.
