Viennese Encounters
Golden Moments


Golden Girl

and ....

Fenstergucker *
Looking out the window
somewhere in the 7th District

Ceiling Painting
Theater Museum
Lobkowitzplatz

Mirror, Mirror

how many reflections
are there all?

Kohlmarkt

Ausfahrt im Fiaker
Evening ride past

* Vienna's famous "Fenstergucker"
refers to a relief sculpture of a man looking out a window
at the base of the pulpit in St. Stephen's Cathedral,
said to be the (self)portrait of Meister Anton Pilgram,
an early 16th Century architect and sculptor

    Elvira,
    I would love a ride in a fiaker because it would give me interesting photo opportunities. ;-)

    The "Golden Girl" is a real prize winner. Such mystery.
    I love your peaks into Life. I almost felt I really shouldn't be looking.

    I'm fascinated wondering about that first image. Is the person part of a production or just dressed like that and it kind of looks like a man to me :)

    A Brush with Color,
    love that! ;-)

    Photowannabe,
    I confess, there are times when I wished I was less timid about photographing people. I find street photography fascinating.

    Jeannette of Everton Terrace,
    the story of the Lady in Gold will probably forever remain a mystery. I spotted her at the last moment, with only a chance at one quick shot. I captured this image in the summer of 2009.

    Lorre,
    and he was such a kind gentleman, offering to open the door for me, to see and photograph the magical courtyard.

    Mary,
    she must have been either an actress/actor or one of those incredibly creative baskers-performers who come through here.
