Lady in Red
The door of a building undergoing renovation
had caught my eye, when this elegant lady
walked right by my viewfinder. Click!

Deck the halls and the entrance, too!

Pretty Bad Picture
of St Stephen's Square at twilight -
we are not in a photography competition anyway,
we just want to be jolly -
Fa la la la la, la la la la!

It's a lovely picture! St Stephen's?
ReplyDeleteIs the Graben changed into a Christmas market?
And yes, the lady in red is an example to us all.
Elizabeth,
DeleteI took the picture (with a 70s wideangle lens I need to learn to handle) from were Graben ends (right into Stock-im-Eisen-Platz, to the right, and St. Stephen's Square towards the cathedral).
Yes, there is a Christmas market going on. I walked past there on Sunday afternoon with my friends from London and they loved it. I have not had a look at what they sell, being distracted by a church flea market going on right inside a building opoosite the cathedral. Got the nicest crotcheted white Christmas trees (me who says she's not willing to succumb to the buying frenzy … falala la la lala …) ;-)
Lovely shots, Merisi!
ReplyDeleteSt. Stephens Square is magnificent!
Thank you, William! :-)
DeleteI thought that image of the square was pretty spectacular.
ReplyDeleteThat's why I published it, even though I am aware anyone with a tripod could get way better shot. ;-) That square, an intersection of three squares (if you count Graben as a square) and several streets, is fascinating any time of the day and season of the year.
DeleteAwesome pictures. How funny! Those legs crack me up.
ReplyDeleteThat final image is downright dreamy.
Sometimes we get the best shots when someone walks right into the picture. Viennese ladies have always been particularly chick.
ReplyDeleteLoved that the Lady in Red photo-bombed your picture! As for St Stephen's Square, I think it is a gorgeous shot, and wish I could be in the middle of it right now!
ReplyDeleteCertainly a lady in red. The square gives an interesting picture.
ReplyDeletePretty "bad" picture? As if ANY of your pictures are bad!
ReplyDeleteThis one is awesome!
