ReplyDeletetessa~
Such amazing statuary
ReplyDeleteMerisi, I always try to look up at the clouds (trying to name any images that might be recognizable...last one was Geo. Washington, viewed over West Broadway last weekend...a ringer for the image on the currency.)
ReplyDeleteI loved your photo of the statue of the Sphinx against the sky. So many questions to ask that Sphinx. Yet, I seem to recall that the answers were subject to interpretation.
Thank you, Merisi, for setting my imagination and stream of consciousness aloft. xo
Amazing views, and I love those statues.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful clouds just frame beauty all about.
ReplyDeleteamazing places...beautiful photos..
ReplyDeleteI agree with Marilyn... amazing location, and you photograph it so well!
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely shots.
ReplyDeleteSaw The Kiss here... it was SPECTACULAR! I remember the first time I saw the Mona Lisa in Paris and it was somewhat disappointing. Not the case for this Klimmt. The painting is much larger than I imagined it. Loved the gardens too, although it was too cold for more than a quick stroll through.
ReplyDeleteClouds, yes, and the fabulous ligth on the city and the gardens...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful day dear Merisi !!!!
Those are beautiful images!
ReplyDeleteIt seems that you will never run out of beautiful places to photograph! The clouds add another layer of beauty!
ReplyDeleteVienna is an amazing city, so much to see and photograph.
ReplyDeletea big exhale ... such a glorious sky
ReplyDeleteThank you, thank you, thank you! :-)
ReplyDeleteThat first shot is breath taking!
