Life above a Viennese Portal
Grumpiest angel ever, notice his pout.
The Atlantes look not much happier, do they?
The one to the right seems short of a celestial lute.
All three of them look as if they got back
up there barely in time, after a night of debauchery around town

Merisi,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your AMAZING photographs.
Visited Vienna twice, cant wait to be back and explore it again and again.
Had delicious coffee at Havelkas but no buchtys. We were told they only serve them in the evening between 8 and 9 pm. It was amusing, just a year ago I had them there in the morning and I think the gentleman waiter was "sick" of tourists.
Ha ha.
Thank you for sharing your love for this beautiful city with us.
Hi, Alena,
Deletethank you for your kind words!
You were one lucky duck to get buchteln in the morning because usually they only serve them late in the evening. They always sell out quickly.
Merisi, i wonder how the architect, or sculptor, decided on those facial expressions for the trio. Perhaps that was his signature look?

Who knows? ;-)
DeleteOh dear. I wonder what makes an angel grumpy!
ReplyDeleteBeing forced to hang out there with those two dudes? ;-)
DeletePerhaps the angel got up on the wring side of the cloud this morning.
ReplyDeleteLosing his friend along the way! ;-)
DeleteGrumpy angel, had to smile, I cannot imagine and yes, it is possible I am sure ;) I awaken lots of ways, but never grumpy...have a great day~
ReplyDelete*smile*
DeleteThey are probably cold.
ReplyDeleteThere could well be some truth in there! ;-)
DeleteI don't know about you, but my neck hurts just looking at the position they're in! How would you feel, with a ridged corbel up against the back of your head forever? I'd be grumpy too!
ReplyDeleteI agree! And that's why I think they had to position themselves there in quiet the hurry! ;-)
DeleteBlogger refuses to upload pictures this morning.
ReplyDeleteI hope this problem can be overcome.
WERE THEY BAD BOYS?!!!
ReplyDeletefun to imagine what the angels get up to whilst we sleep ...
ReplyDeleteNever trust a grumpy angel if you need some divine intervention.....
