Vienna is a great city for street walkers!
*
There is street beach volleyball. Yup. “Called Sand in the city.”
My new wheels. Charged it. Hope Jim won’t mind……
They even named a street after Paris Hilton!
Statues get in the way of traffic signs.
and birds……..
And then there is of course the truth. Vienna streets are incredibly beautiful and full of art wherever you look.

Cheers to you from stunning Vienna!
Those Hohenzollerens knew how to party…as it seems their descendentas do. Loved the Paris Hilton Blvd. Amazing world around there, where artwork and ancient stonework lies around like litter in some cities. When I lived in Italy I hung out with a guy from Graz, where the Lippizaners are from, and was hoping he, my girlfriend, and I would go there…but he was going in the military and the beaches of Italy were more important. Great photos…and I’m so jealous.
Later…
WOW!
Love everything you wrote, “Where artwork and ancient stonework lies around like litter….”
Exactly.
So amazing.
And the Lippizaners who are so incredibly alive….
Thank you for getting this post.
Thank you for posting these beautiful pictures,Cindy.

Ah, thank you Ranu for appreciating them!
Cindy, Your photos are amazing! You have to publish a coffee table picture books in volumes. One on birds, world cities, wilderness, and so on, with all categories you capture on your new and fantastic camera. I don’t write much so I wouldn’t take much of your time while you are travelling.Thank you for taking time from your valuable relaxing time to give us the ride too! Muah! 😀
You Fae are such a wonderful internet friend. You words are very appreciated. Cheers & hugs!
Wow, they really know how to sell those Ferraris. I have my credit card out right now. Too bad my credit limit only allows me to buy a t-shirt. haha. {{{hugs}}} Kozo
That ferrari lives in a nicer home than most people, which, when you think about it is kind of gross. Still I wouldn’t hesitate taking it for a very hard test drive around Vienna……Hey, I have insurance…….it may even cover me for any mishaps that occur while test driving a ferrari hard in Vienna……Do you think I should go ask tomorrow to test drive it????? LOL!
I would only get as far as first gear. After I grinded into second gear, they would revoke my test drive. Would be nice to just sit in it. Italian leather and all that. Good luck on the test drive. haha.
Okay. deal. I’ll drive and you can be the passenger…….We can try and drive it across the border and I can easily out run them on the autobahn.
Amazing photos-I’ve never been there, but now you make me wish I had. Thanks for sharing these
Thank you for appreciating them!
Hi Cindy,
The pics are amazing. We were headed for Austria about 4 years ago this coming June, but my heart transplant cancelled that. Now I see what we missed and still want to do it (after we settle down from the move). You have great taste in automobiles. Is that a Testa Rosa? The Paris Hilton sign was a hoot ! I’m still chuckling about that one. And the positioning of some the signs and statues is comically interesting. Keep the pics coming…, and keep on enjoying the journey.
Paul
p.s. Jim probably won’t notice until the shipment arrives at the Holler and/or he gets the bill ! 🙂 Ha !
I’m hoping the car comes before the bill so Jim will be distracted! Will email you to hear more of your move. I’m excited for you. Having to cancel Vienna is disappointing, getting a new heart and lease on life is incredible and I am so grateful you were able to do the latter, because of course the people who have the pleasure of knowing you want you around. Cheers to you my friend and cousin!
I like how you viewed these. Love the dogs, the horses, your new wheels, the statue with trafic sign and the bird flying over the statue.
I couldn’t just do Vienna because it is probably one of the most photographed cities in the world next to Rome, for good reason! The camera directed me towards what to take…..Nice camera. Cheers to you my friend and thank you!!
Would love to go there. Your pictures are the next best thing! http://ohtheplaceswesee.com
So glad!! Hope you do go. You will be enchanted!
Vienna seen as only Cindy could see it; you give us a whole new take on the city and it is delightful.
I was puzzled at first…..how to do Vienna in a new way…..and the photos showed me the way!! Cheers to you my friend & thank you!
I love these photos. What an amazing trip it must have been. Love the horses and the Lippazaner too! 😉
It is an amazing trip and I am still on it thankfully! I am still in Vienna. And yes the horses in Vienna are superb!! Cheers to you!
Did you play volleyball?
No!!! I’m too old!!! I played it on a beach though growing up. Generally I lack coordination with any sport requiring a ball, except for ping pong!
Ahh Cindy fabulous Vienna the beautiful and you have captured it. I hope you went to see Straus waltzes and the horses performing. Any more horse photos coming? Fantastic photos
Aren’t they the most incredibly beautiful horses! Yes I have more photos (How could I not???) LOL! I try to catch them at exercise rather than performing as they seem more natural. I saw they perform as a child and will never forget it! I hopefullly will catch some more photos tomorrow of them in their stables and exercise yeard. Yes opera, classical music, a library that knocked my socks off, museums, schnitzel…….Viennna has it all!!
One of my most memorable moments in Vienna was watching those incredible horses performing. They float over the ground, and of course I adore horses of all kind
Agree with you on this. They are so beautiful! Cheers to you in Tassie~
Hi Cindy, looks like you’re having fun in Vienna!! Thanks so much for finding the time to read my latest post, and enjoy the rest of your stay!!
Thank you and cheers to you!!!
It IS stunning! Your pictures are beautiful, and it looks like a lot of creative people have lived there!
Thanks Becky! It is a city filled with art and music! Cheers to you my friend. Love your recent photos!
I love vuenva. Walk under the arch of fortune. It’s beautiful. XO
Thank you for the tip and heads up & cheers!
In England the phrase ‘street walkers’ is sometimes used to refer to prostitutes… it took me a moment to understand what you meant! Or did you mean that and were being funny by showing the dogs instead? They were very cute.
Yes, I was engaging in the pun! I got this hilarious email from my mom entitled, “I was worried you were photographing street walkers in Vienna…..So glad you meant dogs and horses.”
LOL!!! I guess I lacked clarity.
Cheers to you. Hope your honeymoon went well/or is coming soon.
Cheers!
You meet the nicest friends along the way!!!!
You, know, it’s true!! Like you……
“Stunning” is the absolute appropriate word. And your photos are tantamount to being there.
I would beam you here in a nano-second.
Love Dumbass Strasse…Amazing collection. It looks like a lot of fun to go there! 🙂
It is and I highly recommend! Cheers to you & thank you!
Heh heh, loved the bit about the Ferrari Cindy. But what a beautiful place! James 🙂
Oh thank you. I still wish I took that ferrari for a test drive, across the border into the Czech Republic……..
Fabulous photos, Cindy. What a stunning city. 🙂
It is indeed. Thank you~
