Pretty much covered up to the ankles in slush as the days are warming up at 2 C after last week’s blizzards. Hope you’ve enjoyed your trip.

Isn’t it such a beautiful place? We visited friends there for the first time, so we had our own personal guides. I took photos of everything.

I feel like shooting a historical drama after seeing those photos.Something with ladies in brightly colored dresses–big dresses, big hair.

Ultravox did that in the 80s and their pop video did wonders for their album sales.

I am going to look up that video–hopefully it is on Youtube.

Just checked, not on YouTube, but a grainy version is on here: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1av7r_ultravox-vienna_music

Very 80’s. Wish it had been in color. Reminds of the guy who did Amadeus–he died in the Dominican Republic–I cannot remeber his name.

I thought you meant the film first of all (one of my favourites) but I realise that you mean Johann Holzel (aka Falco) – More famous in Austria than the UK

Now I understand Karl Kraus’ quote:
The streets of Vienna are paved with culture, the streets of other cities with asphalt.
Magical and stunning photos! I envy your adventures but am so happy you share them.
