Prague & Vienna (Vienna)

If you might remember our camera was baptized in Cesky Krumlov so we have many pictures of Vienna that look like this one of St Stephens Cathedral
We have no pictures of the Winter and Summer palaces (camera sigh!)  but the Summer palace was great, nice gardens and just the right ratio of commentary to rooms. It focuses on just two rulers, Maria Theresa and Franz Josef, so it is comprehensible.
 The view from St Stephens
KunstHausWein a museum devoted to an artist who believed the straight line is an abomination

Here we are atop a hundred year old ferris wheel, expensive, but you can arrange a romantic dinner with a new course every time the wheel goes around

The future Lipizzaners, the show horses were on vacation, but we got to watch these younger horses frolic
