  1. I have a gem of a blog post I instagrametly fell in love with, here the link:
    The Prater through a different Lens, by "Well, that was different".

    Enjoy,

  3. The majestic entrance is emphasized in comparison to the contrast of a single person in black... (yes, I know that there is another just walking out, but I am blanking him out of my vision, hehehe) Love this perspective.

    Also, the potting shed in your last post is divine!

    Bises,

    1. While I was trying to step far enough back to capture the scene (I had only my 50mm lens), the gentleman started entering the scene. I waited for several minutes afterwards, with no luck: people continued to pour out through the gate.

      I 'd like to know who decided to put such an ugly bench there! ;-)

  6. I would never have guessed just how enormous those sculptures are if not for the girl on the bench! Quite a comparison.

    1. Sara,
      even though I walk by and through that gate so often, I am in awe each and every time I do. I don't remember ever seeing a bench there. I can't wait to go and check if it still is! ;-)
