Just came back from a five-day-trip to Vienna, Austria, which was quite snowy while I was there.
A walk across Schönbrunn park in the snow
A beautiful city, certainly worth going back to.

A beautiful photo, too, and it reminds me of Paris (even though it wasn’t snowing when I was there).

Now photos like this make me tempted to get out of my recliner and go see the world.
Beautiful

That is a lovely photo. Vienna is one of my favorite cities — I hope you enjoyed the trip.

I certainly did and am planning to go back there when I can

I find myself missing the snow….it’s very humid and warm in Hong Kong right now.
Love all your pics…Vienna is beautiful…show us more!
Thanks for sharing.

Glad you enjoyed it

How many steps did you walk while you were there ?
I imagine Vienna as a huge city where you can walk miles from a palace to another. Am I right ?
Comment by Ed — February 28, 2009 @ 10:34 am |
Lots of steps, Ed! Although not as many as we would have liked because of the weather
Comment by Claude — March 12, 2009 @ 12:48 am |
Superb picture!
As for reading (previous post) I’ve been doing lots more than usual lately!

Your ‘boots were certainly made for walking’.
Do y ou have ‘two crowns’ its said the child with ‘two crowns’ will wander afar.
Vienna + Sacher torte + coffee – yummy.

Not crazy about Sacher Torte. I sort of like sausages better!

Weird…last week someone said to me, “Let’s go to Vienna!” and I thought she was nuts. Austria? in the winter?? Now I’ll know better if someone asks again.
Lovely photographs, as always…

Beautiful! How I envy your travels!!! Thanks for taking us along!!!!!
Something that piqued my interest is that the first settlement in Ohio was Schoenbrunn — founded by Moravian missionaries in 1772. It’s been restored and has long been a favorite place of mine to visit as it’s only about a half hour away from me. I can see that the Austrian version is just as pretty as ours — just as snowy, too! lol

How interesting!
Comment by Claude — March 12, 2009 @ 12:45 am |
Snow and cameras. Doesn’t that combination seem to shout out for pictures like yours? And paths, another favorite of mine too. Been watching the snow here in New York from inside today (and not enough steps on the pedometer). But tomorrow…I’ll be out there and have your reminder.

I sent your photostream to my daughter and her partner, who met in Vienna in the late 90’s. They will surely feel very nostalgic. And it’s nice that you have videos, too.
Lovely work.

Merci pour Vienne…j’ai pense immediatement a Barbara en vous lisant et j’avais un peu de nostalgie derriere mes lunettes embuees!

Merci Yveline, j’ai mis un peu de temps à répondre mais j’adore la chanson de Barbara que j’avais un peu oubliée

This is an excellent picture. It has wonderful symmetry to it.

Hello, Claude,
I’ve been reading and following you for quite some time, and it’s high time I made contact. Lovely photographs. I really wish I could have swung by Vienna on our chorus tour last summer–Budapest, Bratislava, Prague, we were all around it, but never got to it. Oh, well, perhaps on my daughter’s/my 35/65 birthday week in Prague we can spend a few days there.
Nice to finally “meet” you!
Best,
Claudia
Comment by Claudia — March 7, 2009 @ 12:22 am |
Thanks for the kind comment and for making contact. Delighted to “meet” you

Hallo Claude! Nice picture but dreadful weather.
One of my friends is photo-blogging from Vienna. It may give you ideas for your next weekend in the imperial city.

Thanks Maline. I’ll certainly go back to Vienna, hopefully in fair weather
Comment by Claude — March 12, 2009 @ 12:43 am |
What a beautiful photo! I will definitely check out your photostream on Flickr. Enjoying your blog very much!
