Winter Shoots (Vienna)

[cumi]

Some shoots from few weeks ago.

Heavy snowing in Schönbrunn (my favorite place/park in Vienna) and next day in Belvedere Palast:

1. At "Gloriette"

2. The Gloriette

3.

4. He let me get very close (about 1m, @140mm).

5. I built it with my friend. It is the main palast in the background. This photo actually belongs to portait section. I liked his expression .

6. A side entry to Belvedere Palast.

7. Her breasts are darker, because everybody is touching her. City in the backround...

8. Another moment in the park...

9. There are more of them. All with the same problem (mentioned at #7)

10. The palast.

Thanks for looking.

these make me cold and shivery. Im an american and I froze in the movie theater when I saw Dr Zhevago (sp). Some how European cold seems so much worse to us Americans I have no idea why, unless it is the horror stories of whole armies freezing to death in Russia. Anyway you sure know how to capture a mood.

Vienna is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. I've been there a few times myself, although never in the snow.

Great series Cumi,

Are you Austrian yourself ?

I love number 3. I think it would make a great poster.

@mysteryscribe

Yes, maybe you're right and I don't know why. The "european" winter seem much colder than the "american"... Fortunatly, I am far from cold russian cities. I heard this year, sometimes it was even below -40 C (like Irkutsk, Novosibirsk).

@Lensmeister

Aggree, Vienna is beautiful! Especially in spring, when about 1'000'000 flowers are seeded everywhere in the town...

I'm not an Austrian. I'm Hungarian (born in Vojvodina - Serbia & Montenegro), working & living with my family in Vienna...

@Raindrops

I also like the #3, the rest is "so-so" I think.
