Votivkirche and Snow Reflections
Vienna, Austria (Cafe window reflections)
People must have been wondering why I was taking a picture of this window when there was such a beautiful church behind me.
While I was in Vienna I used Votiv Church as a landmark when I needed to find my way back to the apartment. It was near our apartment but believe it or not we never went inside of the church even though we walked by it everyday. I kept thinking there was plenty of time to see it tomorrow.
This post is for Weekend Reflections and The Weekend in Black and White.

Marvelous, snowy reflections, James, and a terrific capture as always! It does look cold!!!
ReplyDeleteIf I saw you doing this I would probably pick my camera up and take some pictures too! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThat sure is a lot of snow. The lettering looks like it should be moving like titles for an old movie. Which is so appropriate. I often look at your images and immediately start concocting stories in my head, especially with the black and whites. I love the dark mysterious figure... "Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!"
ReplyDeleteS'il n'y avait pas les voitures, on se serait crus au XIXè siècle avec l'effet de la neige sur la fenêtre. Superbes !
ReplyDeleteThe "coffee" warms up this snowy scene.
ReplyDeleteYou'll just have to go back someday and visit the Votivkirche.
The writing is in the right position, but the photo is made by the blurred figure.
ReplyDeleteI love the first photo. The coffee sign makes it more appealing as we wonder if it's a montage or else. Nice one!
ReplyDeleteQue de neige, c'est beau! J'espère que toi et Vic etiez bien équipés!
ReplyDeleteJ'adore les angles de vue des deux photos!
Brrrr!
ReplyDeletethe last one is so interested :)
ReplyDeleteA lot of snow there, better sit in the cafe with some "Sachertorte"
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see you were on the right side of the window. Brrrrr!
ReplyDeleteEh bé, toute cette neige ! Ca a dû te changer du Texas, en effet ! Les images sont superbes.
ReplyDeleteYou got everything in one bild !
ReplyDeleteCold, warm coffe wet snow and a the mystery man.. Great reflection!
wow... really love that second image especially!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely prefer the 2nd image with the pedestrian. I love when people wonder what the hell I'm doing. It's like knowing you're absolutely brilliant and they don't have a clue. Happy weekend James.
ReplyDeleteA great B&W post. So much snow in Vienna now?
ReplyDeleteThere always seems to be plenty of time - until there isn't!
ReplyDeleteI love these photos, particularly the second. That poor man could probable do with a 'coffee to go'
Your first pic transports me to a fairy tale's place: Vienna -I've never seen it in snow!
ReplyDeleteVery nice shots.
ReplyDeleteCertainly conveys warmth and cold and the pleasure of being inside in winter and sitting quietly while the world walks by.
ReplyDeleteAmazing scenes drowning in snow! The church spires seem to be trying to puncture the white drifts and the coffee sign is like a brand of escape from the cold! Great photos!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a view! I bet the inside is pretty spectacular too!
ReplyDeletegreat reflection, love the 2nd with the man walking by.
ReplyDeleteLindo demais, há tanta neve...a primeira é minha preferida. Um abraço!
ReplyDeleteWonderful reflections, but very cold. I have had enough of winter for the time being!
ReplyDeleteToo bad that tomorrow never came...
Blessings!
I love the window!!! And the church looks very impressionistic with the snow flakes!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful composition!
ReplyDeleteAh, the sacrament of coffee! :-)
ReplyDeleteAnyone who knows you wouldn't have wondered for a second!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot - probably worth more than what was inside the church anyway.
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling of being stared at when I take a photo of a window reflection. I'm sure they think I'm bonkers. :) How sad you never did go inside the church but I guess that means you'll have to go back, eh?
ReplyDeleteAmazing snow and fabulous reflections!Impressive winter, don't you think?Better stay inside and take a delicious cappuccino! :D

Hello, James.
ReplyDeleteCoffee may let snow melt.
However, is it too much?
Warm greetings.
Cela me ferait (presque) regretter l'hiver!!!!
ReplyDeleteSuperbes tes photos!
