650.000 came to celebrate the New Year in Vienna!They followed the "Silvesterpath"
leading from St. Stephen's Square to the Riesenrad,
with lots of music, dancing, eating and drinking,
and , of course, fireworks everywhere.
When all the broken glasses and firecrackers had been removed from the streets,
the visitors returned next day to carry on with celebrating the New Year :)
Where Stephansplatz meets Graben,
thousands danced a midnight waltz!

Glad you only shoot the beautiful thing! LOL
It would be too unpleasant a view of Stephensplatz and Graben at 5 o'clock in the morning covered with broken gass up to your ancles...
It sounds like a great big party! When I was young I celebrated Silvester Abend twice in Berwang! There was not much broken glass then. It was so beautiful with all the snow!

Hello Maria :)
GREETINGS!
The amazing enthusiasm of the Vienese people to come together in such large numbers in the biting cold and celebrate with such gay abandon should have been a great spectacle to behold and a memory to treasure.
I am sure you thoroughly enjoyed youself.
Many thanks for giving us a glimpse of the celebrations and the lovely decorations for us to envy and enjoy.
I have already turned green for sure :)
I take this opportunity to wish you and your husband a wonderful new year filled with peace, happiness, health and prosperity.
My hugs to your lovely dog for entertaining me throughout the
last year and I am sure he will come up with more antics in the new year.
Three cheers :)
