Viennese Mélange
A perfect cup of coffee, served on a silvern tray,
with a spoon-topped glass of water and sugar cubes

ReplyDeleteSandi McBride,
ReplyDeleteI drink tea in the morning, my table is Shaker style, and I stare out the window, first cup of Early Grey with milk in hand. Don't ask me how the weather is, though, I am too lost in thoughts the first cup or so .... ;-)
Sam,
there is something magical about being presented a perfect cup of coffee the Viennese way, isn't it?
When I travel elsewhere, and they serve coffee in "here's your cup and basta" style, I sigh and dream of being back in Vienna, soon. ;-)
Colores,
thank you,
I enjoyed taking this little snapshot:-)
great moment!
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of an early 1960s style ad. It was meant to be black and white. Great shot.
ReplyDeleteFrancesca,
ReplyDeleteI have such fond memories of Café Greco -
the last time I was in Rome, the place was too busy, unfortunately.
I'm not accustomed to that kind of decadence.
ReplyDeleteHow I'd love to sit there today!
ReplyDeleteIt wouldn't be Vienna without the coffeehouses would it?
ReplyDeleteHilary,
ReplyDeletethank you! :-)
SK Waller,
me too! ;-)
Charles Gramlich,
here, it is the standard,
even in bakeries, imagine,
balsam for the soul!
Loree,
I wholeheartedly agree! :-)
No one does coffee better than you, Merisi ;)
ReplyDeleteThe little Lumix does a good job!
ReplyDeleteThe Wanderer's Daughter,
ReplyDeletemerci beaucoup! :-)
Vicki Lane,

This is one of those photos that tells a story - I just love it! It would be a great book cover or prompt for a writer's group! And, from some one who's lived in Europe, it takes me right back there! Thanks for linking up!
