I was a little jetlagged, but managed to take a short walk through part of the city this afternoon, the day of my arrival, and got these photos of some of the notable buildings in Vienna, Austria.
There are so many beautiful and interesting buildings in Vienna that you could easily spend weeks photographing them. I have been in this wonderful city quite a number of times, so many of these buildings are familiar to me. I realize, however, that is not the case for most of my readers, so I thought I would share some of that beauty in a few photos from the point-and-shoot Canon that I have with me during this business trip.

Looks like an amazing amount of detail and work that went into this buildings. Enjoy your trip.
Thanks. Many of the buildings here are really ornate (sometimes over the top a bit), but it is definitely interesting. I am so used to looking for nature/wildlife shots that it is a real challenge to focus on man-made objects.
Enjoy. I hope you get to some of the Museums they re great!. Take time for a beer, not bad either.
Thanks. I’m not sure I will have time to visit a museum, but I have already had a beer.
It must be great to be surrounded by so much history. They’d have to drag me away from there.
Remarkably well preserved and clean-looking for as old as they are. How do they keep them free of pigeon droppings I wonder? Maybe there are resident peregrines around that take care of that?
That’s a great question, Sue. There are pigeons around, though not in the huge flocks that I see in some cities.
