| They parked us
Here
before we got on the boat. Very gloppy baroque. Although they
did do a good job of hiding the fact that it was
Starwood. I'm glad I did not find out until afterward - it
would have totally ruined the experience had I known it was part of
some American hotel chain. I think this was across from the St.
Stephens Church. |

The St. Stephen's church. The tile roof
reminded me of
Beaune. |

Saw many headache-inspiring facade
ornamentations in Vienna. |

| |
| This is a serious cantilever.
It's the new entrance for the
Albertina
Museum. It has a delightful architectural &
engineering arrogance. "I can create an enormous cantilever
because I am smart and capable of great things." |
|
 |
| Interesting
commentary on the museum's renovation.

|
Fun fish motif for the
Austrian Film Museum.
The Austrians seemed to have more of a sense of
playfulness and bon vivant than the Germans.
 |
| |
|
Interesting treatment of building
corners that I noticed through the region.
 |
|
The fact that this statue is supported by
just three of the horse's four legs is supposed to be an
achievement. |

"you bitches just sit around &
listen to music all day while I do all the work!" |

"GET OUT OF MY WAY!!! Macy's is having a
sale on shoes!" |

|
"I smell fish." |
|
 |
| "Top o' da food chain!" |
 |
| "Sit boo-boo, sit." |
 |

This reasonably restrained building
immediately faces.... |

 |
|
this gloppy old thing. King whoever
got all bent out of shape over the bank, above. I guess he
wanted bling-bling everywhere. notice the statues at the base. |
|
 |
|
nice shaft. |
|
 |
|
Central Vienna had lots of these
tree-lined boulevards. Very Nice. |
