Vienna (May 22) - Part 1

An enormous memorial to the plague, in a street called Graben.

Narrow streets

and wide, wide streets

A mosaic and some surprises on building facades.

An Anna Torte at Demel - one of THE coffee houses.

It's truly from another era.

You have a view into the kitchen

 and the precise work that's done.

Tourists check out the front window that changes regularly.

At the end of the street that Demel is on - Kohlmarkt - is the hofburg.  I like the lacy entry,

and the guard shelters.

Scars of use.

Don't you just love agglutinative languages?

The Secession Building - possibly one of the most beautiful buildings I've ever seen.
