Photos from Vienna.



Photos from Budapest.The ethics of Photoshop. Posted by james Email post author, 2009-08-03 14:46:41

The next installment of our trip to Europe is a short one. After Prague we were beat and I didn't really feel like taking pictures. The picture below, which also links directly to the gallery, pretty much sums it up.

Though we did some of the coolest stuff in Vienna, such as seeing Tosca at the Vienna State Opera House, watching The Third Man in an old cinema house, drinking wine and eating well at the heuriger, seeing countless Succession works (Klimt, Schiele) and learning of the Hapsburg Empire, all while having every coffee served with water on a silver platter, the city itself did not capture me. Maybe it was because we had too much to do and we were unable to stop and enjoy it. It just seemed frustrating and we were always at odds with it, fighting to get somewhere or find some place.

The few photographs I took I like. The one above and the one of the kids sunning themselves and drinking under the triumphant statue at Hapsburg Palace are among my favorite of the whole trip.

I really like the empty train stations.
