Anemoia (Weekend Street/Reflections # 249)

 

Vienna, Austria

Sometimes, as I meander the cobblestone alleys of Vienna or the grand boulevards of Paris, a peculiar feeling stirs.

Anemoia — the wistful ache for a time you’ve never known — echoes from another era that somehow feels like home.

                                                Happy Halloween! 🎃👻🐈‍⬛

Moses Fountain (Mosesbrunnen) Weekend Street/Reflections # 181

 Vienna, Austria

A man walking his dog near the Moses Fountain on a cold night in February 2013.

I've recently re-watched The Third Man (1949) and The Ten Commandments (1956). I guess you could call this my photographic interpretation of the two films.😄 The man's dog started running when I took this picture, so it looks like a blur.

                                              Have a great weekend!

Social Distortion (Weekend Reflections # 542)

Vienna, Austria

I was trying to think of a title for this reflection but the only thing that came to mind was the name of my favorite band when I was in Jr. High School.   :-)

Happy Valentine's Day!

I'll be back for Weekend Reflections on Feb 28 but the link is scheduled during my absence.

Golden Wien (Weekend Reflections # 346)

Vienna, Austria                                                      Franziskanerplatz          

I was walking around Vienna one snowy evening when I happened to notice this reflection on a gold nameplate. You only see a little part of the engraved  calligraphy at the bottom of the picture.
The gold plate says "Michael Wolfgang Fischer Juwelen".  I think Juwelen is German for jewelry or jeweler. Who needs jewelry when you can have reflections, right? 
 No, I'm not going to ask my wife that question. ;-)

Have a great weekend!

Trachtensalon Witzky (Weekend Reflections # 238)

Vienna, Austria

In case you are wondering, "Trachtensalon Witzky" is the name of the clothing store where I found this window display. It's not my style, but if you want a dirndl or lederhosen, it's the place to go.

Happy Easter!

Taking Time to Dream (Weekend Reflections # 210)

Vienna, Austria

This man seemed to be dreaming of different times and far away places. 
The man on the bench and the paintings next to him were reflected on a room divider made of polished stone in The Kunsthistorisches Museum. I left the wood moulding and a slice of an actual(not reflected) painting on the right side to give a little perspective.

I wont be around very much for the next three or four weeks but Weekend Reflections will still be here, so please continue to enjoy it. :-)

Beware of Falling Snow and Clicking Cameras (Weekend Reflections # 205)

Vienna, Austria

This is my wife Vicki trying her best to get out of my photo.
She didn't realize that she was the star of the picture. :-)

Have a great weekend!

Parfumerie J.B. Filz (Weekend Reflections # 201)

Vienna, Austria

The doorway was made of mirrors, sort of like a giant reflective horseshoe, so I was too busy taking pictures to go inside.  ;-)

I hope you all are having good summer or winter depending where you are.

Ich wünsche euch ein schönes wochenende!

Pulloveria (Weekend Reflections # 197)

Vienna, Austria

I take thousands of pictures when I travel and usually I remember taking them even years later, but I don't remember taking this one. It took some time for me to read the upside-down/backwards sign but after a little research I discovered it's a clothing shop sign in Vienna. (Pulloveria)

I hope you all had a nice week (Canada Day July 1st and Independence Day July 4th)!

Have a great weekend!
