 we're in Vienna for a few days before the start of our drive... |
 ...and it's lovely! |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 at the Museums Quartier |
 inside the art complex |
 a sand sculpture taking shape |
 on to the Leopold, home to many Schiele paintings |
 two of Jay's favorite works of art |
 an interesting re-worked Klimt |
 and some colorful paintings by Moser |
 a small collection of furnishings by the Wiener Werkstatte |
 back out in the city... |
 ...and onto the streets |
 |
 |
 |
 a memorial to university professors killed after the Anschluss... |
 ...and one to Beethoven |
 at the large and beautiful Stadt Park |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 jackdaws are the top of the pecking order here |
 |
 |
 at St. Stephen's cathedral |
 |
 |
 with Herb and Lucille on Kahlenberg above the city |
 a view over the city and Danube river |
 |
 in the suburban village of Grinzing |
 Rauchers permitted here! |
 back in Vienna, in Herb's boyhood neighborhood |
 Bleichergasse, with the Volksoper behind |
 a nice neighborhood passage |
 Herb's old school... |
 ...and the building where he lived with his parents until 1938 |
 |
 the door to Herb's former flat |
 an elevated section of the historic U6 line |
 next day, outside the Stadttempel... |
 ...the only synagogue to survive the war |
 in the archives of the adjacent IKG; Herb saw his original birth record in their books |
 heading for Judenplatz... |
 ...to see the memorial to deported Viennese Jews... |
 ...in the form of a library facing inwards |
 back on the streets for a zig-zag through the city |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 Otto Wagner's 1906 Secession postal savings bank building |
 |
 continuing on... |
 ...past the Bourse... |
 ...and another university building |
 the old buildings are seeing quite a bit of work now... |
 |
 ...and some interesting modifications |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 at the Belvedere: more Klimt and Schiele... |
 |
 ...in elegant gardens |
 Vienna gets the laurel! |
