My World Tuesday - Evening Hour

We enjoy a little breathing space with pleasant summerly temperatures around75°F.

I walked home from work this evening and took some pictures for you!


At Karlsplatz, the pleasant grey sky reflects in the pool,


and people enjoy the evening with"Kino unter Sternen",
open air cinema,
which has become very popular in Vienna in the last years.


Karlsplatz is also fun to sit in the Schanigardens and
have some refreshments.


There is a creative atmosphere around,
this billboard turns out to be a sort of collage upon a closer view.


I pass by Musikverein and smile at the roof garden nearby because it makes me think of Salvadore Dali's surrealistic paintings :)


After a last look back at Karlskirche I cross Ringstraße


and I take a rest in a lovely Schanigarden at Seilerstätte.
Here I eat the best pizza since ages!


Thank you for joining me on my evening walk!

My World Tuesday - Snowfall in Vienna







Some snowflakes in Vienna create a lovely atmosphere and inspire me to take some pictures of Karlskirche, one of the most interesting baroque churches.

HISTORY:
In 1713,
one year after the last great plague epidemic, Charles VI,
Empress Maria-Theresia's father, pledged to build a church.
Thus Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach, the most influential Austrian architect of the Baroque period, built Karlskirche,
one of the most interesting baroque churches north of the Alps.
