St. Marx Cemetery, Vienna 20121-11-03 Another shot from the old cemetery, still lovingly lit with candles on the graves.
All Saints' Day 2011-11-02 On the first of November, Viennese (and Europeans in general) remember the dead, lighting candles on graves. This shot is from the St. Marx cemetery in Vienna's third district. It hasn't been used in about 150 years, and has been damaged several times (wars, vandalism, etc), but people still come to light candles. Not a bad thing to do. Thanks for your comments on yesterday's display of my garden work.
Spires 2011-09-12 Looking slightly south of east with the sun behind Vienna's first mosque, dedicated in 1979 with a 32m high minaret. Behind it is the "Danube Tower", with an observation deck and restaurant 152m above ground. Yesterday's shot of stairs didn't meet with much approval (or with some hearty disapproval by a few). Oh well. Another day, another shot.
