Vienna–April 10, 2019

A statue near the hotel:

White stone statue of woman in kneeling position, touching her hair.

I saw these somewhat kitsch-y tapestries in a shop window:

Tapestry image of little girl with two husky dogs

Tapestry of woman in pre-18th century dress

A clock and some children’s art at the Franz Joseph train station:

Old-style clock with cherubim at Franz Joseph train station

Children of various cultures holding hands around a globe.

Text: “Do you really want that?”

Drawing of clock with trees and rivers on the face

These pictures while wandering towards the Art History Museum (Kunsthistorisches Museum) and Natural History Museum (Naturhistorisches Museum):

Roman-style statue of woman holding snake drinking from bowl

Top of building with statue of person on winged horse

Building with curved glass half-dome window

This is the butterfly house (I didn’t visit it.)

Flowers forming treble clef symbol in lawn

Large monument to Mozart; sculpture of him standing

Sculpture of Erwin Ringl pointing with right hand

This pink rabbit is in front of the opera house. It apparently has quite a history.

A couple of pictures from Stephansdom (St. Stepehen’s Church). Part of it is being restored, and the scaffolding screen is being sold for advertisement. It seems very out of place to me.

Large church with geometric pattern of diamonds and angled lines on roof

Back of church with black, weathered stone

Large advert for cell phone on side of screen covering restoration scaffolding

Stickers

I saw these stickers all over the place:

	We are consuming even more things. We are also consuming each other. Even more we are things.
	The person who sleeps doesn’t know they’re sleeping. So also is wakefulness a stranger to them.
	Blow up all prisons!

Graffiti

Click any picture to see it at a larger size.

After lunch today, I decided to take a long walk, and ended up at a canal near the Danube. It has an absolutely amazing display of graffiti, some of which I am posting here. (The street is Donaukanalradweg, Franz Josefs-Kai in case you are interested in doing a search for more examples.)

I think this one was my favorite.
