Autumn Park

To those who have been to Vienna (or would like to), have a look over at my writer's page today, where I'm doing a movie review today. Is this a film you've seen? And a reminder to members of City Daily Photo, the theme day for December 1st is Shop Window.

These photographs are from Major's Hill Park; the first two are early in the fall season. Colonel By stands proudly over the flowerbed.


These are later in the season. The National Gallery, the American embassy, and Parliament Hill can be seen in the background of these shots. I should have been more clear in yesterday's post- I haven't been inside the American embassy!

  19. The trees look lovely William but that staue is a classic, a wonderful piece of work. It's the pose that makes it with one foot on the rock, it jussi outs 'follow me' I'll conquer the world'...

  22. If only all our soldiers only had to stand watch over a bed of flowers!
    Lovely shots. I rather prefer the embassy's look from behind some autumn trees.

  27. Wonderful Takes. I so enjoy Fall.

  28. Major's Hill Park is wearing a wonderful autumn dress.

  29. @Revrunner: he does have that sort of pose.

    @Geoff: I agree.

    @Tex: they are!

    @Jackie: it is.

    @Denise: I've walked through that park many times now.

    @Mari: that it is.

    @Kay: the embassy is different in each season. It's taken quite a long while, but I've actually gotten used to the place, as severe as it initially looks.

    @Janis: they do indeed!

    @Whisk: wind will do that.

    @EG: thank you!

    @Grace: it does indeed.

    @Carolann: I do as well.

    @Jan: it is, yes.
