The first snowfall is always marvellous!
In January we think the December snow was puny,
and in February we curse it!
Today we have the first snow flurries in Vienna!
Just in time for Christmas!
Search the sky all around the world for more snow clouds :)

Great shots, Maria! And it is that time, isn't it? Don't know if we'll get snow here this year -- we got enough last year -- more than enough! But it's beautiful and it is beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
Enjoy your weekend!

Wonderful captures! Happy Holidays.
I especially love the 1st and 3rd photos, great stuff!
a happy thursday evening maria.
love those shots...and the golden glow off the lights.
we've snow in the forecast for the upcoming weekend.
take care.
Your photos are simply lovely. So with the first appearance of snow, you think there is a chance of snow this Christmas?
Lovely captures of the light on the snow.
It's true, snow seems so wonderful in December, but it does get a little old in February when we're hoping for spring!
Yes, I can see how, over time, it could get the better of you. However, that third photograph - the narrow street with cobblestones covered in snow - is incredibly beautiful.
Have a wonderful snowy Christmas.
Very beautiful, Maria! And it's so true that by February (or March here in Ontario, Canada) we'll be cursing it. :)
Really nice, the snow arrived just in time for christmas even here were I live.
The second images with all the flakes in the snow is a really nice capture.

Great pictures of the snow! The first snowfall is always wonderful, isn't it?
I'd love to see all that snow blowing around - What shots you've captured!
I'm anxious to see if we'll have a white Christmas! (we usually only get ice tho, so show as many snowy pics as you want, I welcome it!)
Wonderful winter shots.
Good capture
It looks gorgeous on those old city streets!
Great shots, are you enjoying the snow.
Hi Maria!
How beautiful your city is!
I really like the third picture.
Have a merry Christmas!
Beautiful snowy pictures Maria. We have snow too.
Beautiful Xmas pictures. Love especially the first one, it is mysterious, great shot.
Wuensche dir ein frohes Weihnachtsfest und ein glueckliches Neues Jahr.
Merry Christmas! :)
You will truly have a White Christmas. Merry Christmas to you and yours. Peace
Hi Maria:)
Lovely photos. Very fascinating.
I WISH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Maria, thanks for alerting me to your Pummerin bell. (I love it, bells having names!) What a fascinating story!! Especially about the first one, the OLD Pummerin:
"The Old Pummerin was originally cast in 1705 from 208 of the 300 cannon captured from the Muslim invaders in the Second Turkish Siege of Vienna." A shame that it met its end tragically in later war time.
The new one looks great too.
