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 |
