Morning Light
reflected off the windows
on narrow Naglergasse lane
A family on a Sunday outing
stops under a fountain
of the Imperial Palace
covered by construction cloth
painted with a likeness
of the fountain statue
Michaelerplatz
Where to now?
A bicycle rider
ponders his next move
under posters of a Frida Kahlo
exhibition at the Kunstforum
Freyung
Two white sun umbrellas
stand sentinel while a gaggle of
café tables and chairs
play being invisible
at Freyung Square
Was that you
walking from Michaelerplatz
to Habsburgergasse?

I love the reflection :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love the fact that the likeness of the statue was painted on the tarp while it is under construction. I love Austria! Can't wait to go back.

Not only do your share splendid images, but your writing is always a stroke of delight as well, fun stuff~
ReplyDeleteI am so appreciative of this blog. Coffee and Architecture are two of my favorite things, and then there's bicycling.
ReplyDeleteI am in love with Vienna and I enjoy the work you are doing on the blog.
Thanks a lot.

Oh, those doors!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind comments!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful day to all of you,
Merisi
What an amazing eye you have, Merisi. It is always a pleasure to see your lovely Vienna through your lens. I especially love those old blue doors and the painting of the fountain statue. Love the blue dress and white peonies, too!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing such loveliness with us.
Oh I love that door!
ReplyDeleteI wonder what becomes of all those carefully painted/designed construction clothes when the construction is finished? They would make a wonderful exhibit...somewhere....with a lot of empty space...
ReplyDeleteOui, yes it was me!
ReplyDeleteI walked from Paris to check on the whipped cream you're always going on about...wanted to do a taste comparison, even though I don't normally eat whipped cream..
Yr photos make me dream :)
Your photos, as always, continue to inspire in me a sense of [what is the word?].... almost ANTISEPTIC beauty. A pristine world.
ReplyDeleteA place where walls, and doors, facades, windows -- all is poetry.
Looks like someone needed to get in that door badly. The scuffs do add character though.
ReplyDeleteThe artwork on the workcloth is quite amazing. At first glance I thought it was the real thing. Great series of pictures.
You always capture on the picturess so great and so simple momements of life
