The city rose in rather subdued mood,
as if gilded finery were reserved
for the great artist born
150 years ago that day
Somebody forgot to focus -
early mornings run better on automatic,
I learned
still jump when I ask them to,
even at dawn's early light

The sphinx seems bemused by the jumping fairy. Beautiful, as always, Merisi!
ReplyDeleteWith the city in the background, the fairy seems to be flying above the buildings - it's all about perspective.
ReplyDeleteMarvelous captures as always, Merisi! Love that jumping fairy!! Hope you've had a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful & magical!
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a lot to learn so early in the morning. You must have had some delicious coffee to brighten your day.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Sunday, though I guess your's is practically over now.

Whoever that is jumping got pretty high
ReplyDeleteKlimt's life seems the very archetype of what an artist's should be
ReplyDeletefor good and bad
His birthday is certainly something to celebrate.
your convincing power is strong ... to make someone jump like this at such an hour of the day (night) :)
ReplyDeleteI have to come back to Vienna...
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your kind comments and the smiles!
ReplyDeleteYours,
Merisi
I adore the final image :)
ReplyDeleteThe same girl climbed up our cherry trees as a three year old already. Neighbors ringing my doorbell, worried up her up there. She's born an athlete.
DeleteIf it were not for bloggers I would never get to see the world. Thanks for taking me only on this adventure and being such a great tour guide.
