    I just love these old doors in Wien. A world of baroque and modern, what tales of history, what characters have walked through them.

    Looks like a chilly morning to walk around, I think I would go in for a semmel,wurst and kaffee.

    Thanks Merisi!

    Yes, I am very much drawn to the windows ;) So enjoy visiting your Vienna. Thank you for sharing (and for the reference to Hughes' poem, which I am now going to attempt to find)!
