Austria – Vienna

 

 

The Hofburg Palace.

 

 

Entrance.

Ceiling above where the carriages drove in.

Status all around the inside sure to impress the guests.

as well as the outside.

This is the home of the Lippizaner Stallions which we got to watch doing their daily exercises,  but the shows were sold out.

These horse actually preformed at the Jim Light Memorial arena in Whitehorse. I took  Miscal she was a baby.

I got a few photos in before they said no photos allowed.

John is not a horse lover so did not stay the entire time.  I was rewarded with seeing them practice these moves when back feet actually come off the ground.

 

 

 

 

The light on the buildings is striking.

 

Leaving the castle area.

Remnant of the old city wall.

 

Back to the opera house.

A much needed rest.

A sign in a toilet on the way back, couldn’t resist a photo.

This is not the Easter Bunny but an advertisement for the art gallery that features the drawing by Durer.  Apparently the most expensive they own.
