Sky Watch Friday - Imperial Sky

My theme for this week's SWF picture is: Imperial sky!
The sky over the Imperial Palace,
Michaelerplatz, Vienna.
Wonderful! What's more thrilling than a relaxing stroll through the city, sightseeing...


But what's that?
There are so many dark spots over the imperial roofs!




Right! The Russian crows, Vienna's winter guests, are looking for a sleeping place,
which they usually find in the woods of the Vienna Prater!


Watch the sky all over the world and see if there is a place where it is roughly as exciting as it is in Vienna... ;)

A nice sunset after the rain

This week I took an evening walk through the city.
I started at Hofburg, the light looked promising.


Sepia tones in der Burg!


A mauve sky over Heldenplatz and Rathaus.


The rain had left little lakes on the lawn.


Victorious Archduke Charles and the Neue Burg make nice reflections in the puddles.


My doggy poses in front of the Leopold Wing of Hofburg :)


The colours of the sky deepen.


The ducks are swimming in their sky-coloured pool!


Empress Sissi's monument looks unreal in the twilight.


But in the nearby Rosegarden,
the evening light caresses Sissi's roses after the rain.
