Schloss Schönbrunn Wien - Castle Schoenbrunn Vienna 2

"There is one spectacle grander than the sea, that is the sky; there is one spectacle grander than the sky, that is the interior of the soul."

- Victor Hugo

These photos show Castle Schoenbrunn, Vienna - Austria. We've spent a long weekend in Vienna and it was absolutely wonderful in late Autumn. Especially the sky was breathtakingly, isn't it.  It has looked like a film set.

Herbst in Wien - Autumn at Vienna

 

Wenn die Welt einmal untergehen sollte, ziehe ich nach Wien,

denn dort passiert alles fünfzig Jahre später.

Gustav Mahler (1860 - 1911), österreichischer Dirigent und Komponist

Urlaub in Wien ist immer wie eine Zeitreise und ich finde im Herbst ist diese Stadt besonders wundervoll, weil es alles etwas gelassener, nicht ganz so überfüllt wirkt. Die Farben sind reine Poesie, die Cafés besonders charmant und man kann die einzigartige Atmosphäre Wiens so recht genießen.

Ich muß den Ästheten eine niederschmetternde Mitteilung machen:
Alt-Wien war einmal neu.

Karl Kraus, 1874 - 1936

My North - the winter view from our garden over the fields.

Study the past, if you would divine the future.

Dwarf Iris (Iris reticulata) are always the first blooms in our Cottage Garden, which shows winters' power is broken.

Good Morning Hamburg! I enjoyed the visit to our old great love, Hamburg, very much. The hotel was brilliant and the view out of our room amazing.

This guy discovered our really tiny pond. Only a flower pot with a small fountain, but no real space for such a big frog. Nevertheless, he liked it at his new home for the whole summer.

Best time for a further visit to my favorite park nearby, Royal Garden of Herrenhausen, Hannover. One of the most famous Baroque Garden in the World. Here you can find more posts about my visits: Herrenhäuser Gärten

No, not a journey to Korea, this is taken during a visit to our International Windmill Museum, Gifhorn. And yes, it is an original Watermill from the mountain region Sobaek, in Korea.

Another highlight was our short trip to Vienna! Here you can see Castle Schoenbrunn.

We found time for a journey into our past and visited the Christmas Market Lunenburg (Lüneburg), Lower Saxony - North Germany. Long ago we had a wonderful time there for a few years.

Schloss Schönbrunn - Wien - Castle Schoenbrunn - Vienna

.

Aus weissen Wolken

baut sich ein Schloss.

Spiegelnde Seen, selige Wiesen,

singende Brunnen aus tiefstem Smaragd!

In seinen schimmernden Hallen

wohnen

die alten Götter.

Noch immer,

abends,

wenn die Sonne purpurn sinkt,

glühn seine Gärten,

vor ihren Wundern bebt mein Herz

und lange . . . steh ich.

Sehnsüchtig!

Dann naht die Nacht,

die Luft verlischt,

wie zitterndes Silber blinkt das Meer,

und über die ganze Welt hin

weht ein Duft

wie von Rosen.

Arno Holz, 1863 - 1929
