Spring certainly feels close there. The shade of blue on the amphoras really stands out beautifully.
ReplyDeleteWe were experiencing torrents of spring lately, but temperature's rising!
DeleteThe amphoras are a sight to behold, all through the year.
I count every sign of Spring that I see. Glad to hear it has arrived to Vienn
ReplyDeleteEven here in Vienna it is still more a strong feeling of anticipation in the air than actual sightings.
DeleteVery nice shot !
ReplyDeleteTomás.
Thank you, Tomás!
DeleteIf you spy it there, please send some of that to our area. It has been just miserable for much of the USA, and if the weather did not take one down, illnesses have. I head to FL soon and that shall make me happy~
ReplyDeleteThere are times when one wants to believe that mind moves matter!
DeleteWishing you a wonderful time in Florida,

Beautiful!!! We're getting 8 more inches while I type. The schools let out at noon and I think our evening plans are cancelled...
ReplyDeleteThe weather along the East Coast beats every record, methinks!
DeleteLove the blue in the top image. I've never been to Vienna, but hopefully some day. Been to Salzburg and its environs though.
ReplyDeleteFriedrich Ohmann's Art Nouveau amphoras are a sight to behold.
DeleteI hope you may see them soon here in Vienna!
I too spied spring coming in Vienna, especially in the last shot.. However, I moved south to avoid snow and cold weather and today we have the deepest snow in Virginia since I moved here 14 years ago. I think it is time for another latte!
ReplyDeleteWinter's not been kind all along the East Coast. I hope that changes soon!
DeleteMerisi, I think that we are going to have to peek around quite a few more corners around here to get a glimpse of spring. Thank you for raising my hopes and spirits! xo
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome, Frances! I truly hope winter takes a leave asap and spring comes to the fore everywhere!
Deleteamphoras are great but I like the statue of the woman :)
ReplyDeleteThe blue amphoras really stand out in a very pleasant way. An exciting time of year with new beginnings just around the corner.
