In the late afternoon
the sun finally broke through,
revealing a sky so beautiful
Tiepolo could have painted it
The leaves of the Linden trees and the rose bushes
sparkled in the late afternoon light
The Garden Pavilion's mullioned doors
were wide open, beckoning to come inside
Photographed 26 June 2013
in the baroque gardens of
Melk Abbey, an hour's drive west of Vienna
Lower Austria
