Vienna Daily

One Viennese photo a day.

I have been skipping many days as usual. December went with only one post in it. :( And here comes the first theme day for this year. I pick the above photo but shown differently on a post from May 12...please click here.

The caption goes "If you carry your childhood with you, you never become older."

Seems to be a fitting reminder year by year, day by day.

highway vienna Vienna's high rises may not be as notable as Seattle's, New York's or San Francisco's but, its engineers had perhaps the best plans laid out for the city being convenient not just for motorists but for daily commuters as well. Hand in hand with its architects, Vienna's landscape seem like an urban jungle that is not so chaotic. ^_^ 

Photo above seen looking out from the Rotating Danube Tower. Click here for a view of some architecture and here for a view of an unripe sunset (Last month's theme day for "heights" entry too.

Below, a leopard at Vienna's Schönbrunn Tiergarten seem to be lost in thought. It is always anyway looking out, as if longing for its release.

Happy Theme Day!

Took this shot while walking around the city with my son 2 weeks ago - when the weather was still ok. When it was summer.....these days, summer seems to be hiding away, lol. We got 18-23° which is also fine...as long as it won't rain.

The Do&Co Hotel and resto is one of the finest in the city. Situated opposite St.Stephen's cathedral, it would always reflect the tower and parts of the church.

Alfred Hrdlicka's Mahnmal gegen Krieg und Faschismus, 1986
(MEMORIAL AGAINST WAR AND FASCISM)

A monument by Alfred Hrdlicka for the victims of the Second World War and the Nazi regime in Austria (1938-45) Situated in the square behind the State Opera and in front of the Albertina.

Hrdlicka was an Austrian sculptor, draughtsman, painter and artist. He was originally a dental technician student from 1943 to 1945, he studied painting until 1952 at the Akademie der bildenden Künste under Albert Paris Gütersloh and Josef Dobrowsky. Afterwards he studied sculpture until 1957 under Fritz Wotruba. In 1960 he had his first exhibition in Vienna; in 1964 he attained international recognition as a representative of Austria in the architecture Biennale in Venice, Italy. He died recently, on 5 December 2009 due to a prolonged illness at age 81.

The split white monument, The Gates of Violence, remembers victims of all wars and violence, including the 1938–1945 Nazi rule of Austria. Standing directly in front of it, you're at the gates of a concentration camp...step into a montage of wartime images: soldiers, blood, slave laborers, bombings and ruins everywhere.

The hunched-over figure on the ground behind is a representation of Jews during the era. This piece caused an uproar sometime after the installation was presented prompting the government to commission another memorial, that of British Rachel Whiteread's Holocaust Memorial at the Judenplatz (2000).

The installation seem a common statue when you look at it but the impact will hit you when you realize this monument stands on the very same spot where several hundred people hiding in a cellar got buried alive when it was demolished in a WWII bombing attack.

About Me


(^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
