Empty seats in Vienna

May 6, 2014 by Mike Powell

Vienna can be a crowded city, overflowing with people much of the time, but early morning in the Volksgarten, I had my choice of seats—both the chairs and the benches were completely empty.

You must be racking up the frequent flyer miles with your travels, Mike. But it’s time to start flying to the tropics for some wildlife photography, isn’t it?

  I’ve been here quite a few times and always find the city to be charming. Still, you have a point, Sue. I could find more interesting and colorful wildlife in the tropics.

I wonder where everyone went.

  It was about 7:00 a.m. and it seems like the folks here are not early risers. Later in the day, almost all of the seats were full when I passed through the park again in the afternoon.

This reminds me of a photo my daughter took at the Promenade in Brooklyn – https://flic.kr/p/4btG3D It’s always interesting to see places and things without people. Great shot.

  Thanks. This is a kind of photo that is a little unusual for me, but every now and them I like to try something a little different.

  Thanks, Cindy, Every now and then I venture outside of my normal subject matter, as was the case here.
