Vienna Daily

One Viennese photo a day.

I was with my daughter's class today. If you remember I often go with them during classes outside the classroom. Not just to support the teacher and assist the kids when walking on the sidestreets or across the zebra or when getting in the train, tram or bus but also as photographer.

Today we went aroung the Ringstrasse. It's the street that most visitors of the city tour because left and right you'd see the historical buildings and architectures as well as modern day installation where known political figures reside.

It was the perfect day to be out. The sky was so blue and the wind was cool enough. We went from park to park, palaces to palaces, museums to museums and from one monument to the other.


I was nostalgic when we reached the Theseus Temple. Obviously of greek origin. It is the replica of Theseion in Athens and was built to house Theseus and the Minotaur by Antonio Canova. Why was I nostalgic? Well, it has to do with my dad. His 2nd year death anniversary will be this week and I can't help but think of him.  I could have printed this and send to him as a postcard because Athens is one of his favorite cities.

When I was an 11-year-old student he sent me photograph of him with the Parthenon behind him. I could clearly remember that at the back of it was written:

Dear Gizelle,

This is the Parthenon, made by the Greeks thousands of years ago...this is older than Jesus Christ.

Love, Daddy

I would love to see Athens soon. I would love to have sent my dad a postcard too.

Early morning spells rain, gray and brown I'd say is gloomy. From inside the vehicle I thought of not getting out, wouldn't want to get wet. 

It's like this everyday. Cold mornings, gloomy sky, strong winds....you dress appropriately. Better carry a big bag with you coz later the sun comes out from hiding, the sky turns blue, your jacket would be too much then. It's pretty but it spells headache too. 


Happy Skywatch Friday!

Who would have thought rain passed by that day? The sky was really blue and clear but it was gray and raining a few minutes earlier.

This season is best for all the lawn daisies to grow...I always see to it that I take a photo of them even though they were shot from the hip.

I introduced this gallery over at my other blog. The painting by the window is one of a fellow Filipino's works on display at the Gallery M. The Gallery is also owned by a Filipina artist. She and a partner opened the Gallery to asian artists to give them recognition in the European scene.


Ronald Salazar is hubby's classmate back in highschool. We came to know about the exhibit through him. (More of him and his works soon.)

Thanks to him, I was again given the chance to be lost in my imagination and interpretation of colors. You see, back in the days I enjoy covering photo and painting exhibits, painting contests and galleries of Filipino artists, taking photos and interviewing them. I like seeing a bit of those artists from the windows of their canvases to the bottom of their hearts, I would know if they are genuine or plain.

My son has this hobby of picking stones...and these are some of the moments I captured when he was looking for some by the lake at the Waterpark.

 


For Watery Wednesday.

1 Kings 8:27 But will God indeed dwell with men on the earth? Behold, the heavens and heaven of heavens [in its most extended compass] cannot contain You; how much less this house that I have built?

Vast as the sky is, it is only a fraction of the God almighty.

Have a lovely weekend!

(^By Notting Hill Gate)

I enjoy both travel and photography. Although I haven’t been all-over the world, I try to document my journey and share it around. Here, my current hometown Vienna, a city I come to love not just for its intrinsic beauty but its overall aura of good vibes, I share bits and pieces of what to see and enjoy. -Marie Gizelle
