Last night, my final night in Vienna this trip, I had a chance to walk by Stephansdom (St. Stephen’s Cathedral), an incredible building in the center of the city.
The beauty of Vienna is magnified at this time of the year by wonderful decorations and lights everywhere.

Looks like you picked a good time to visit/work!
Thanks, Eliza. There is an annual meeting that I have attended in Vienna at the same time each of the last six years and the pre-Christmas period never fails to delight and enchant me.
WOW!!!! Beautiful!
That’s beautiful, Mike. Set against the dark sky, it’s really stunning.
Thanks, Dan. The dark sky made for a great backdrop, though shooting the image without a tripod meant finding something against which to lean to steady myself.
I was wondering if you used a tripod. Great shot!
Wow!
An awe inspiring place to visit! Hopefully you had an opportunity to check out the interior.
I visited the interior a couple of the times in the past, though I was not able to do so during this trip. I especially love the patterned roof of the church.
