Austrian facades - number 28
Made by pixel_unikat
District Heating Plant Spittelau in Vienna's 9th district, 1988-1992 Friedensreich Hundertwasser, (real name: Friedrich Stowasser), born in Vienna 1928, died 2000 (on board the Queen Elizabeth II on a trip from New Zealand to Europe, buried in New Zealand). He was one of the most famous Austrian painters, lived in Vienna, New Zealand, Venice and Normandy. In his sometimes spectacular manner (nudist speeches etc.) Hundertwasser has advocated peace, ecology and a form of architecture which takes into account human needs and natural phenomena; has stood up against the destruction of villages, whaling and Austria's entry into the European Union. Hundertwasser was not only a painter, but has also worked as a designer of buildings (view my pic), books (Brockhaus-Enzyklopädie, 1989; Bible, 1995), stamps, posters etc.


Wish you were here (28/52)
Made by traumlichtfabrik
So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, blue skies from pain. Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell? And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change? And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage? How I wish, how I wish you were here. We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year, Running over the same old ground. What have you found? The same old fears. WISH YOU WERE HERE This is my contribution to the Group. Would love if you would like to participate as well! Wish you a fantastic sunday!!

First of all I have to say I'm not satisfied with this shot! I used a way too large Aperture and didn't have my Sigma 10-20 with me either. But as I spent so many hours editing this shot again and again I am still uploading it. Will repeat the shot the next time I'm in Vienna :-) Music: James Blunt - High Shot: Pentax K200D, Tamron 18-250, 18mm (35mm equivalent: 27mm), 9 Shots -2EV; 0EV +2EV, hand-held Software used for this image: Photomatix Pro 3 (Details Enhancer), Autopano Pro, Adobe Photoshop CS3 Criticism is welcome and appreciated!


Votivkirche Wien
Made by Raphs
Votivkirche Wien in der späten Dämmerung. Errichtet wurde diese im neugotischen Stil erbaute Kirche zum Dank, dass ein Attentat auf Kaiser Franz Joseph I. im Jahre 1853 scheiterte (!). Dies ist auch im Inneren deutlich erkennbar, dort ist der Hang zum Militarismus und Patriotismus nicht zu übersehen. - - - - - - - - - - Votiv-Church Vienna in late dusk. This church in Neo-Gothic style was built after a failed assassination attempt on Emperor Franz Joseph I (!) in 1853 to thank God for the rescue of the Emperor. This also can be seen in the interrior of the church which is full of patriotistic and militaristic symbols.


The world is a scrawl of our dreams
Made by cctrilla
Caminando… Por todas los rincones sucios, de todas las sucias calles, de las viejas ciudades de Europa. En las que puedes sentir a cada paso siglos y siglos de tristeza… Sólo se me ocurre que el mundo es una realidad mal dibujada de nuestros sueños. --- (Literal translation) Walking… Around all the dirty corners, of all the dirty streets, of all the ancient European cities. In which you can feel in every step centuries and centuries of sadness… The only thing comes to my mind is that the world is a scrawl of our dreams.


Flatbread with Prosciutto, Ricotta, Rucola, Parmigiano
Made by Michaeeel
Stiegl's Ambulanz at the Campus of the University of Vienna really serves delicious meals. This one looks like a pizza, but isn't. It is a hot Flade (similar to flatbread) with ricotta, rucola and prosciutto as well as parmigiano on it. Delicious, mega-yummy! Try if you can! (Can this be called the Austrian version of a Pizza?) what happened to this dish three months later...

Sebastian asked me to take some shots of himself. For this assigenment I scouted a decent location and used his shiny Mamiya RZ67. Too bad that both of us fucked up the other rolls… Oh, Sebastian is now on flickr too!


Archangel Michael and St Joseph

Archangel Michael and St Joseph panel from the Emperor stained glass window in The Votive Church Vienna. The Dragon is allegorical, representing the threat to the life of the Emperor Francis Joseph I. This window is the only one in the church re-made to it's original design after all the windows were destroyed in WWII.
