Vienna Scenes

 An assortment of further scenes from a beautiful and historically important city, still thriving...

Haas House, a contemporary structure opposite the
cathedral, which is reflected in its glass


A curvy street here and there

Christmas decorations ready for the season

Construction and renovation everywhere

Near the Albertina, the Monument against War and Fascism, with
a still pertinent, even urgent, message
Lobmeyer building, 1830s

Church of the Knights of Malta

All in German, we guessed

Prince Eugene's town house

Among many pretty portals

Many contemporary buildings

Sofien Sale, an 18th century building with a long
history, updated to an art nouveau facade in the
early 1900s 


Some ugly buildings too

The studio of

Ernst Fuchs

Painter, designer, sculptor, composer, architect; died just in 2015

Colorful block

Part of the Vienna we didn't see

Russian Orthodox church


Across from the Russian Embassy, construction workers have
flown the Ukrainian flag

The Albertina Museum...maybe next time

Burial crypt for the Habsburgs

Another beauty


The first Bauhaus construction; Loos built it right across from the
Hofburg: note its lack of "eyebrows" on the windows
