Graben near St. Stephen's Cathedral
Earnest photographers at work -
better make sure to capture the cathedral,
who knows, it may be gone by afternoon

Graben Square has turned into
one giant Christmas tree lot -
wait, have I just spotted Santa Claus?

ReplyDeleteThe first picture with the reflection is fabulous! You've done a great job capturing the cold -- brrrrr!!! How cold is it in Vienna now?
ReplyDeleteIt is not too cold, actually (says someone who looks at the weather report and sees that south of the Mason-Dixon Line there's a whole lot of snow - none here.
