Hello Merisi, Ingrid here from the Travelling tea pot blog. Thanks for touching base. Priscilla is not back to the USA. BTW, I love Vienna. Try to stay at least 1 night on stop overs with a friend every time I travel in Europe. Not this year, but next year for sure. So liebe Gruesse von Kanada, von einer ex Kaertnerin aus Villach, Ingrid
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ingrid!
DeleteAs I made my way to Prince Eugene's Schloss Hof
ReplyDeleteI had to give a quick cough.
No matter that I gave my hat a doff.
She thought I was a complete toff.
She even began to lauf
Hahahahahahahaha
I scoffed
And ran off
In a huff.
Never more will I venture to Prince Eugene's Schloss Hof.
ROLF
Poor Rolf!
DeleteOh cyrstaline skies
ReplyDeleteSo blue...so bleu
N'ere darken I pray you
Till it is time for mouton stew.
A slew of clouds cover the perfect pedestals.
Oooooooooooo
*smile* Thank you! :-)
DeleteWhat a beautiful place and heavenly skies for a backdrop! Terrific composition and superb captures for the day, Merisi!! Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sylvia! I'll have more pictures of the gardens. ;-)
DeleteThose photos are gorgeous! I'm especially fond of the second one; the composition is just right.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much! :-)
DeleteI so enjoy traveling with you. Lovely architecture and clouds.
ReplyDeleteYou would love going out to see the countryside and Prince Eugene's summer estate!
DeleteThis is an amazing place! Gorgeous skies!
ReplyDeleteHope you can stop by and say hello at my blog, and if you have not already done so, "Like" Hood Photography on Facebook! Thanks!
Wonderful tour of a beautiful place. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, Merisi. When we were there last spring it was so cold and uncomfortable. Would like to go back and see it the way you did.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sunny day, and wonderful blue sky!
ReplyDeleteYes, no doubt you've managed to capture the beauty of these beautiful places in your beautiful photos are impressive. Happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful blue skies over beautiful views! So love the romantic white statue!
ReplyDeletebeautiful skies even in Vienna. :)
ReplyDeleteClouds like this makes me wish I could fly :-)
ReplyDeleteThe blue of your sky is so beautiful and it is set off so nicely by the railings.
ReplyDeleteAmazing!
ReplyDeleteThank you for showing me such a beautiful part of the world and thank you for sharing your high altitude experience on my blog :D
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome, and thanks for stopping by! :-)
DeleteWow, I'm not sure which is more beautiful, that sky or what lies beneath it! They go beautifully together, that's for sure. I love these photos! My favorites are the second one of the statue with Slovakia beyond (that is just a perfect photograph!) and the last one, with the stunning contrast between the white marble (?) and intricate black metal railings. So eye-catching!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you enjoyed a gorgeous day for strolling Prince Eugene's gardens; the only thing missing was fully ripened plums. :-)
All wonderful photos, but I especially enjoyed "On the Horizon" with its beckoning creature and fluffy clouds.
ReplyDeleteSchloss Hof has been on my to-do-list for years. I´m wondering if I ever will go there...
