A 1986 reproduction of a 1896 Violinopan barrel organ - Two sets of pipes, one sounding (somewhat) like violins. The musicians rotate while the music is playing. As seen at an Advent market in Vienna. Many thanks for your kind comments on my recent shots - much appreciated.
These guys just finished baking their own cookies at an advent market in Vienna. They were posing for a shot taken by their teacher. This advent market has activities for children inside as well as the stands outside. Many thanks for the comments on yesterday's shot. Much appreciated.
Christkindl 2012 Her name is (supposedly) Amanda. She likes swimming, rugby and baking. She is 17 years old and the City of Vienna's official Christkindl 2012. The Christkindl is the traditional gift-bringer in German-speaking countries, an angel or sprite. It seems I hadn't taken any pictures for exactly one month. I've been busy with my other 'jobs'. So yesterday I went to an Advent market in Vienna. The official job of the Christkindl is to be at holiday markets, greeting the children.
