Fashion Show 2012-08-07 Not my usual metier, but my wife wanted to attend this fashion show. It was a public show, put on by the Natural History Museum, using only historically accurate designs and amateur models. It was a bright, hot hot day - everyone else in shorts. I found a higher spot and clicked a few (hundred) shots. The theme was 'from prehistoric times to 1800'.
A summer day, nature, relaxation, and ... 2012-07-31 Some people can't leave technology at home. Many thanks for the comments on the jumper. There was an inflatable trampoline just outside the picture that he was using to jump into the water.
Look out below! 2012-07-28 I have no idea who this is, but he was enjoying himself. This was taken at the same place as yesterday's picture - and I thank you kindly for the comments (the swimmer did not get hit by the rower)
Look Behind! Look! A Head! 2012-07-27 As seen on the 'Alte Donau', a recreational area in Vienna. On hot summer days, all kinds of people are around, in, and on the water (just no boats with motors, except electro) Many thanks for the overwhelming response to my 'hesitation' picture. Much appreciated. [And the 'guest' comment "it's red" was from my wife, who often does not know what to say about my pictures]
Die Studlhofstiege 2012-07-23 The Studlhof Steps are a famous Jugendstil architectural feature of Vienna's ninth district. BUilt around 1910, they became well known as a symbol of autumn after the publication of the eponymous melancholy novel in 1951. "Wenn die Blätter auf den Stufen liegen herbstlich atmet aus den alten Stiegen was vor Zeiten über sie gegangen... Viel ist hingesunken uns zur Trauer und das Schöne zeigt die kleinste Dauer." (rough translation of poetic German) "When old leaves line the steps, memories of that which travelled over them arise like exhalations. We mourn the passing of much, and beauty seems to last the least" And on another note - why does the picture look like September instead of July? Because of the rain and because of the chestnut blight. On a sunnier note - it is a beautiful day, so I should go take more pictures.
Marble column 2010-05-15 One more from the Jesuit Church. A few different styles of columns have been holding up the balconies for the last three centuries. Have a wonderful day.
Altar very Empor 2012-05-14 Another shot from the Jesuit Church in Vienna, showing the trinity above the high altar (i.e. 180 degrees from yesterday's shot). Many thanks for yesterday's comments.
French Romantic in Vienna 2012-05-12 The beautiful organ (2004) in the Jesuitenkirche (Jesuits Church, aka Old University Church) in Vienna. It is a faithful reproduction of a French romantic organ - even down to the slightly narrower keys and narrower gaps between pedals. The fresco is "the adoration by the shepherds" by Andrea Pozzo (1702). Many thanks for the comments on my butterfly.
Voices 2012-05-04 Organ pipes at the St. Francis of Assisi church. I like the way there are curves and rectangles. Many thanks for the comments on the cherry grove.
