Wien Part 1

At the end of last September I got to spend a few days in Vienna. Wonderful city, clean, safe (except for transsexual prostitutes near westbanof), reliable transport, plenty to see although I never saw any museums, before I left I think I squeezed one in.
The above shot is the first photo I made when I got off the plane.
With any neg scanners that I seem to touch, lately end up just plain not working, I got some 5x7 prints made, and did a flat bed scan of the images.
This reminds me of the riddle of the Sphinx, in the story of Oedipus, how we start our lives on four legs, then two, and finally three.
At the Museum Quater.
Everywhere you go in that city is parks, I mean you look on a map and every district has it's own beautifully preserved park.


I was so lucky when I arrived there was an unseasonal Indian summer. I left Ireland and the pissing rain and cold, to lovely sunny temperate days. I couldn't believe that as soon as I landed, off went the wool sweater to walking around in a t-shirt.
Next installment will be some Black and white from the trip.
