Hello!
Tonight the air was so warm, people rested on benches, took their time to hold still and take look. En plein air. At night. Mid december.
I joined them and, once again, I behaved
like a tourist in my home-city.
Can you sense the mild air?
One of the quiet corners, where no busses from Italy, Hungary and Croatia are lining up.
'tis the season!
I am embarrassed. I find myself actually enjoying Hans Hollein's later works at the Albertina's entrance. Which proves: The 35mm 1,8 lens does turn EVERYTHING she sees into a piece of art. Even Hans Hollein's later works.
In the back, to the left, the wing is peeking, so to say a statement piece.
One of the rare quiet corners in the city tonight.
Cliffs in the city.
This balustrade can be found at the entrance level of the Albertina, opposite the Vienna State Opera. As teenagers, we came here after our dancing class and kissed. That was long before the redesign of the Albertina, long before the illumination of the State Opera vis à vis. Less light, more intimacy, ... cooler nights.
And today we look down ...
... the shore is calm
I know I bore you no end with my complaints about the lack of snow. I am missing snow so badly, I see it everywhere, even in the bowl of my kitchen processor. But in the end its nothing but wishful thinking ...
... and only leads to pizza and brioche. The first already landed in my tummy, while the second sits in the fridge and waits to turn into golden delight by tomorrow noon.
Jen, tonight Mr Paula so approved my home-made pizza, after a few first rounds, that were "so-so". Because tonight it was served with garlic on top, after baking.
Not pictured: the fabulous Riedl red wine glass, which really makes a difference. To be featured soon on this blog.
Happy お月見 (otsukimi) full moon viewing!*
*Or maybe not so full at all, since there is going to be a total lunar Eclipse in the southern hemisphere.
