in the streets of lecco, italy, in the lake como area. saw this and i was instantly attracted by the lines and textures that i saw.

a walk in the castle

the view from the fisherman's bastion is quite spectacular if i may say. here we see part of the forest in the hills.

taken in salzburg during our day tour.

ok, so which one of you again is mozart???

around the opera house in vienna you might feel you are back in them time of mozart. you see a lot of these gentlemen dressed in medieval garbs - they are actually trying to sell tickets to watch an opera or a musical inside. my friends decided to get tickets to la traviata, even if the seats available costs 200 euros each!

That is what they call the Underground in Vienna. The U. I can't remember what this stop is though, shame on me! I love shooting the subway and when I saw the red lines I just had to take a shot! Hope you like it too!

road to the past (of horses and naked horsemen)

the entrance path to the national library in vienna. too bad i did not have time to enter as i was on my way to the sisi museum at that time, but i can imagine the vast knowledge of the past that this place has. the library grounds and garden is quite a spectacular work of art too, as you see with the sculpture of a man and his raging horse that adorns the entrance to the walk. i see a lot of scultures of naked men and horses and made me wonder: did they actually ride the horses with no clothes on? that must have been quite a task! lol!

it has been a while since i posted something pink...now i can't believe i posted two in one week!

just a small plant that i tripped on while on the way to slazburg ha ha! i thought it looked like pink wormy flowers with those elongated stems studded with those delicate forettes...
