Vienna - 2014 - A Lookback in Pictures - by Nigel A JAMES

There is an ice-rink in front of the town hall every winter.  I took this last February

This is one of my favourite little places to eat in Vienna.  It's  in Hietzing, a district in the west of town. This inn is actually part of a sausage stand that has been extended. It's owned by Helana Seidel and the food is very, very good. It's basic Viennese.

This is Vienna's famous Kärtnerstrasse, one of the best places to shop in town.  On the right is the opera house, and straight ahead is the Ring.  Of  course, this group of Hari-Krishnas could be every where!

The year started cold.  This is the Belvedere, Prinz Eugen's summer palace.  I took this shot in January-

Vienna's Ringstrasse - in the background is the Natural History Museum.



The Brunnenmarkt is the world.  Last February, there was snow, too!

Once a month, Hansi gives a piano and jokes concert for friends.  I took this picture last July.

Vienna is a city of coffee houses.  Here is a school class celebrating the finishing of their final year.  All, by the way, passed their final exams!  Summer 2014.

Corpus Christi is still a very important day in Austria.  The start of a Corpus Christi parade.  Vienna, 2014.

Maxi B. ACS, an Altar Boy is bearing the banner! 

Still the best way of getting around town!  A break to make a call.

There's a new part of town going up.  It's called Seestadt.  It looks and feels exciting!
