Tuesday in Vienna

On my way to the market I passed so many interesting buildings.

Sezessionhaus, the Secession Building was built in 1897 by Joseph Maria Olbrich for 

exhibitions of the secession group, a movement towards the existing art that lead to the origin of 

Jugend style (Art Noveau)

While the Professor worked, I visited the

The Vienna Naschmarkt

Fruit and Vegetables

Canned and packaged products

So that I can grind up my own herbs

Spices

Olives

Since I read no German at all, your guess is as good as mine.

Sauces of some kind.

Dried fruit

Make a belt that fits correctly

Russian Pirogi

More spices and dried herbs

One of the staff at the US embassy recommended this  restaurant.  

It was a fun choice.  The restaurant was full so we had to wait for a table,

but by the time we finished eating hardly anyone was there.

We sat next to the window which was open on a hot day.

This news clipping along with many others was hanging on the wall.

This looks exactly like the salad that the professor and I shared.  Every time we took a forkful of 

salad we discovered another type of salad.  Cucumber, delicious potato, cabbage, carrot topped with 

leaf lettuce and half a cherry tomato. 

The Professor suggested that I look at the schnitzel being served on my right.  It was thin and it overlapped on the dinner plate.  I decided that I would go for something smaller and more conservative...Chicken Cordon Bleu.  It was delicious and with two pieces really more than I needed.

The Professor stuck with the schnitzel which comes with no sauce in Austria.  Only a wedge of lemon.

We could not resist taking a picture of this business:  Freywille

After just a few days in Vienna, I decided that if you were a MAN and had accomplished

something in your lifetime, someone put up a bust of you in a park.  No idea who this is.

Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller

I was attracted to this statue of a well known Austrian write and painter

because he is sharing not just a book but a pedestal with a woman and a child.

Magnolia in bloom.  I just missed catching a shot of one of these girls hanging 

from a bough of the tree.

Technische Universität Wien and, its library (Vienna Technical University

The postmodern Technische Universität (Technical University) building.

As you can see in the two pictures of the church from online, this is not really a place

to sit and read or to play.  It is a water feature.  I did not get to see it with water in it.

Karlskirche (St. Charles's Church)

I am reasonably sure that it will not come as a surprise that I did not pay the 8 Euros 

to go see the interior.  

The entrance is flanked by angels from the Old and New Testaments. 

Two columns with bas relief

 The neighboring two columns, crafted by Lorenzo Mattielli, found a model in Trajan's Column in Rome.

One of the unique qualities of this church is that its dome is not circular.  Instead it is an

elongated ellipsoid.  You cannot see this feature in photographs or standing in front of the building. 

Thanks to this Shutterstock shot from the interior you can get the idea.

A visitor's view of the dome from inside

 Resselpark, is named after the inventor Josef Ressel

Although the two of us are noted for never going out after the sun sets, we did walk back

to our "suite" in the dark following the Professor's program at America House.
