Angels
Burggarten
Formerly the emperor's private garden,
next to the imperial palace's palm house and the library building
More angels, and in the background the palm house,
a steel and glass orangery, designed by the Viennese architect Friedrich Ohman,
constructed in the years 1901 to 1906
Walking into the Sunset
The Burggarten was opened to the public in 1918
In the background, beyond the Ringstraße, the MuseumsQuarter
and, to the right, the Museum of Natural History

I don't often comment on your blog, but it is one of my little pleasures in life. I will most likely never get to visit Vienna but through your blog I feel just a bit like I have been there. Thank You An Arkie's Musings

ReplyDeleteIn my childhood, I used to jump in the leaf-mounds in the Burggarten, much to the dismay of the gardeners. Thank you for bringing back such a joyous memory!
