Snow in the VineyardsNear Lake Neusiedl
Burgenland
"... for a tranquil hour
The lengthening bluish shadows on the snow
Stole down the orchard slope ..."

Photographed on
20 December 2010
when I drove about
40 miles south of Vienna
for a school project.
I did not find what I was looking for,
but at found scenes like this instead.

ReplyDeleteWhat you found is very serene and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYou find such marvellous watercolours in your pictures, Merisi. This is so lovely.
ReplyDeletePerfect match of words to photograph! All of the world (in our little corner) is heading off to ski next week, but I'm hellbent on spring.
ReplyDeleteMerisi, have you heard of The Hare with Amber Eyes by Edmund de Waal? Some interesting descriptions of Viennese life; I think you would find it fascinating.
Thank you all! :-)
ReplyDeleteBee,
"The Hare with Amber Eyes" is on my wish list, thanks to you!
Wow, this looks more like a precious painting than an actual photograph - what a talent you have, Merisi!
ReplyDeleteTo be framed and hung and gazed at daily. Lovely.
