TODAY'S FLOWERS


The first outdoor flowers in the snow
make me dream of warmer seasons,


of summer roses,


the summer sun


and autums leaves...


... the promise of spring!

One more cloud


The sky in spring is so diverse and always good for a spectacular show.
The events depicted in Cloud Wars take place in a fictional sky...

Painted Sky












The sky was so dramatic this evening!
I could not believe what I saw.
I was fascinated and wanted to share this beauty with everyone.
Camera at hand, blogger - no problem :)
By the way:
Those nice clouds brought a blizzard with them!

My World Tuesday


The Upper Belvedere hosts exhibitions of famous Austrian art, among them painters like Klimt, Schiele and Kokoschka (Visit Belvedere's Homepage - it's really great!)

The Lower Belvedere resembles Prinz Eugen's magnificent living quarters. Representational rooms like the Hall of Grotesques, Marble Gallery and Golden Room, offer a fascinating insight into Baroque interior design - JUST WONDERFUL!!!

Prince Eugene of Savoy (picture: Wikipedia)
is the man behind Schloss Belvedere,
he built the Baroque juwel with the wonderful view over Vienna!

Prinz Eugen von Savoyen (1663 – 1736),
one of the most prominent and successful military commanders in European history,
born in Paris,
but fighting for the Habsburg Monarchy against the Ottomans and many others - read more about his life at Wikipedia.

After that,
walk through the Prince's splendid gardens,
caress the Sphinxes :)
look back over the city of Vienna,
ascending the hill!













































Thank's for joining!
