[VIENNA, AUSTRIA] [Day 3]: Musikeverin, Karlplatz, St. Charles Church, Naschmarket, cafe Phil, cafe Sperl

Sometimes I like to take a slow stroll in the city, capturing things in black a white. It is a somewhat frightening experience, thinking all that you will have in file will be colorless, but the result is more than rewarding, seeing things by its nature, proportion and motion.

Removing the color aspect, makes the emotions more intense.

Today I headed off to the buzzing Naschmarket where all the action taking place. Not many people were out yet, but the early birds are already sniffing around for the freshest produces.

Vienna is such a walkable city with every turn and corner with a new surprise. I was in awe with the Stadtbahn Pavillions with its elaborate gilded ornaments and marble slabs. Designed by Otto Wagner, a pioneer in Art Nouveau movement in Vienna.

Walking ahead you see the beautiful Karlskirche, commissioned by the Emperor Karl VI in 1713 to the end of a plague epidemic. Although the architecture is designed by a famous Baroque architect, Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach, the church itself draws inspiration from contrasting architectural elements. The front view resembles one of a Greek temple portico with Roman influenced Trojan columns.

The Seccession

Cafe Sperl - where "Before Sunrise" was shot. I didn't walk in here, since it was enough just window shopping. Each window played like a moving display of art.
