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 |
