Would you really want to live in this house?
A bat whith wide spread wings
(can you see it?)
is the emblem of Vienna's famous "Fledermaus".
The "Fledermaus" is a night bar with about 200 seats and a piano on the stage, where young cabaret artists and chansonniers start their careers.
The place, well known and appreciated among intellectuals, offers the best Single-Malt in town.

My last winged creature:
Nike, the goddess of strength, speed, and victory in ancient Greek mythology.
You can see her also in Louvre, but without a head.
In Vienna she is protected by a brave lion so that she can keep her head on!
So long!
So long!

I just love Vienna. I visited Vienna few years ago and i adored everything. Very romantic city. By the way, my daughter had the same injury with your nephew.
Hehe. Your comments are very witty. I enjoyed the Wings show. I love the golden statue of Nike. Thanks.
Hello ! Je pense à Toi Pour Scönbrunn...
very interesting, thx maria....
Beautiful Maria, though I must say bats are not my favourite...hope they dont have real ones there. Oh..now i know her name, Nike..so cool. Happy weekend :D
Very pretty photos, but I really love the commentary. The lion guarding Nike is humorous!
Great photos for the challenge. I believe that gargoyle actually protect your house from evil spirits, so that first ugly fellow may be creepy but he's a good thing to have.

Nice pics. I like your post from Vienna from 2. September. Never been to this city, but I'd really like to go there sometime. Beautiful
What great photos!
Nike is especially wonderful.
My God you live in a beautiful city . . I love the gargoyley thingamebob. Angels and demons are represented everywhere. I was overwhelmed when I was there with the sculpture and history of the place. I love the juxtaposition of the Hapsburg legacy and Russian monuments (and you can take your doggywogg into coffee shops!) Tres cool . . and your chockies and cakes are superb) Oh and there's the music. The city is full of it.
Love your winged greatures. the Gargoyle is the best. MB

ps I was a little slow with my Winged challenge!
loved your "wings" post and pictures. You got some unique shots.
I'm glad Nike is protected by the lion!
hello, we do two photo challenges together! Your winged photos are very good and creative. It's so wonderful seeing things from another part of the world. The first one..I think if I lived there I would feel he was a protector.
I would like to live in a house protected by a gargoyle.
Wings remind me of soaring birds and angels.
Lovely photos of Vienna which brought memories of my long ago visit.
What beautiful pictures you have on your blog. So easy to travel to other countries without leaving my living room. Thanks for sharing.
