Magnificent building, and absolutely gorgeous photos! Well caught in the beautiful light.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Hilda! x
DeleteNeat shots -- in the last one, looks like he would like to commune with the statuary. How nice to be able to walk past such a building! Oops -- those are corinthian columns, not ionic.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the correction, Stanley!
DeleteWhat was I thinking, the Roman in me should have known better. ;-)
What an awesome place to spend some time with a book!

Up so high on a mighty building! ;-)
DeleteGorgeous building! The top composition is brilliant.
ReplyDeleteThank you! x
DeleteI hope he was reading something epic in that setting.
ReplyDeleteI have a suspicion. ;-)
DeleteA fantastic place to be able to spend time with a book indeed!! I'm envious!! Terrific captures, Merisi, and your composition is superb! Enjoy your weekend!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sylvia!
DeleteI am seriously contemplating wether doing a bit of reading up there myself, on Sunday morning. ;-)
Reading a book in public is becoming rarer and rarer.
ReplyDeleteDaisy,
Deletenot so uncommon yet here in Vienna. In fact, I see people reading books all the time.
He sure found a nice spot for his reading.
ReplyDeleteThe marble still carrying the night's cool temperature, quite nice on a summer morning. ;-)
DeleteStrange and spectacular place, but he seems comfortable with it!
ReplyDeleteIt really feels as if being on top of the world, great views!
DeleteWhat a great sight - the small and the mighty - a nice combination.
ReplyDeleteTrue, thank you! :-)
DeleteWhat a cool place.
ReplyDeleteOh Merisi, I just love these shots.
ReplyDeleteYou are such a story-teller through your camera.
You have a fantastic eye and see so much in the everyday.
Thank you, Sue, very kind of you! xxx
DeletePerfect shot in every way. Lucky chap to have the time to read in such a historic spot.
ReplyDeleteHe was up way earlier than most of us! ;-)
DeleteLove this and yes it is a perfect shot.
ReplyDeletePerfect shot, but oh to be the one sitting in that fascinating spot...I'm afraid I would be too busy investigating to read.
ReplyDeleteIt seems that all was already said!
ReplyDeleteWe agree completly ;)
Gorgeous photos, Merisi!
ReplyDeleteNice place for a reading :-)
How do you know he's reading about the parliament?
ReplyDeleteIs it any good?
wow this awesome and beautiful.www.unn.edu.ng
ReplyDeleteI thought that such a sumptuous decor would have crushed the reader but it rather enhances him ... as our eye zooms in on him ... Amazing !
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that series of shots !
Marie-Noëlle
