Like a tourist, I walk through the city I live in.
I search for a castle with a golden dome.
As usual, I start my tour at St. Stephen's.
No dome on top of St. Stephen's.
Fin de siècle - no domes.
The fin de siècle-girl is most beautiful.
But no dome!
But no dome!
It's Prague, not Vienna.
I see a reflection of a dome in a glass facade!
I walk along Graben - only copper!
I don't forget about the birds.
The doves in Vienna are no less impertinent than anywhere else around the globe!
Next dome - copper.
St. Peter's.
St. Peter's.
Ah, St. Stephen's again.
If I were on top of the tower like these visitors,I'd have a better overview to find my golden dome...
I walk down Rotenturmstraße to Donaukanal.
Of course, it's copper again,but this time with a nice guy on top!
This is the Greek church in Vienna, reminding me of a golden castle.
I cross the Donaukanal and look back to the heart of the city.
The Donaukanal was rediscovered shortly
and so we have sand there - Adria style - and all kinds of ships with restaurants and beach pubs, you see?
But very nice! And lots of graffiti! Mega cool!
Could not find the golden dome this time,but I keep searching! ;-)

Great post! Lots to see!
Aah, I was so anxious to find the golden dome. What a grand tour Maria, most impressive city. So classic. Thanks for the thrill.
HAHAHHAA!!!!!!!!! FANTASTIC!
I have fond memories of Kohlmarkt :) The Golden Dome was on the opposite side of the water from Vienna City. You had to climb through a bit of forest to get there ;) I'll be back to look more at your photographs later! Hhehhee :)
Could it be the hillside at Steinhof hospital area in the 14th district of Vienna? Is that near the Donaukanal? Hhehe!!
oh man, i got tired from just looking, were you not exhausted from all that walking?
what a delightful post, thanks for the tour of your wonderful city! I love how being a city daily blogger makes you look at your own city through the eyes of a tourist, it all seems fresh and exciting!
