My very private Vienna

Beautiful statues...


... and their adorers



Now we have left the Belvedere Garden and are out at near "Rennweg", a street with many phantastic buildings and many, many cars:



"Garde Church" - the church of the Polish people in Vienna.
The Pope and his shadow



Hair!
Walking from Belvedere to Schwarzenberg Place.



Reaching Schwarzenbergplatz. The Russian Monument.



The End for so far.
Hope to find time again soon to be with you!

Thank you all for liking and many thanks for your kind words, dears Jane, George, Christos and Christi! Lovely to read your nice Welcome!

I'll try to do a look back at this special year, beginning with...

I have much more of January 2020 (hopefully not shown already here before) - the only thing that always lacks is time...

Here I am again, Paul. Thank you and Jane for your nice words, and thank you all for liking!

JANUARY 2020 (Part 4)

Christmas Market at Maria Theresien Platz.
Vienna still is in a hard lock-down at the moment (ending with today), and this year we have no Christmas Markets. I've never experienced such a boring and sad Christmas time in this beautiful city, it makes me very sad. Covid-19 has stolen us so much in this this year...

Near Minorites Church:



People in beautiful light:



A few steps further I met this Fiaker:



Lively Ringstrasse between the Boerse building and Ringturm tower:

Thank you, Paul!
