"... it must be saidthat the Viennese coffeehouse
is a particular institutionwhich is not comparable to any other
in the world.
As a matter of fact,it is a democratic club
to which admissioncosts the small price
of a cup of coffee.
Upon payment of this miteevery guest can sit for hours on end,
discuss, write, play cards,receive his mail, and,
above all, can go throughan unlimited number
of newspapers and magazines."

I understand that the coffee houses of Europe played huge roles in the history of most countries.
ReplyDeleteNo one makes a cup of coffee look as enchanting as you do with your camera.

ReplyDeleteBRAVO
Though they can't compete with Viennese coffeehouses, I love walking by the coffee places in our college town and seeing the students, armed with cappuccinos, studying and talking!
ReplyDeleteI love the coffee houses of Vienna and recall sunny September mornings, starting the "tourist day" in this relaxed scene. Your photos are beautiful with the play of light and focus on the details.
