Sky Watch Friday

Watching the clouds, catching the moon,
visiting St. Stephen's Cathedral and Millennium Tower,
greeting the gargoyles -
that's what's up in Vienna's sky today.

Sky Watch Friday - Urban or rural ?

Would you prefer to watch the sky in the countryside or in a town?

St. Stephen's Cathedral,Vienna,
throwing its shadow on a foggy background....
(with a new gilded top
and the scaffloding being gradually removed)

...or the pastel winter sunset over sleepy Pfaffstetten, Lower Austria?

I love both, urban and rural,
but I need to leave the city from time to time to see the horizon.

Looking for a golden dome

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!

A golden dome!
It's Prague, not Vienna.

I see a reflection of a dome in a glass facade!

Copper-green.
Michaelertor, Kohlmarkt.

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.

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! ;-)
