old ladies in vienna

comment on this photo

• This composition with a perspective and point of escape completed, represents the spirit of the photography while it disciplines - an almost tangible reality. A great work!

old ladies in vienna

Continuing with stuff shot in Vienna last year, this one is way out of focus but it was too "perfect" Vienna in my mind to not include. Elderly women walking in the Hofburg Palace gardens, Vienna, Austria. They are everywhere and charming... we almost got trampled by a stampede of them exiting a matinee one afternoon. And yes, everyone really does wear fur in Vienna. Even men. Even men on bikes.

News: As of this posting I've increased the default size presented by this photo-blog... you can still access the full-size uploaded using the fullsize link in the menu, but probably requires javascript. Still constantly tweaking my templates and adding subtle features, should have more meta-info on new photos going up starting soon.
