Arriving at Melk Abbey
High above the Danube river
Soon, the sky will clear
and the midsummer sun
will feast off the morning dew
served by Aurora on poppies and meadows
Photographed 13 June 2014
Melk Abbey
Lower Austria
Less than an hour's drive
west of Vienna, on the Danube river

ReplyDeleteNot only the photos themselves, but also your brief poem, about them.

ReplyDeleteSo lovely Merisi, The middle picture is framed perfectly. A frame within a frame. We share a devotion to photography with a mutual friend. Vicki Lane.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful abbey, and such amazing surroundings.
ReplyDeleteWonderful views
ReplyDeleteMelk Abbey is a place I've always wanted to see ever since it first came to my notice on a Rick Steves' travel program. Didn't know about all the gorgeous gardens around it though.
ReplyDeleteWe were just watching a show about Vienna, and there was a segment on Melk. Stunning photos, as always!
ReplyDeleteWunderschön eingefangen! Das Stift schaut so schön eingerahmt aus!
