Advent 2011 in Wien
Das Wiener Rathaus erstrahlt wieder im vorweihnachtlichen Lichterglanz, doch leider ist von Schnee heuer weit und breit nichts zu sehen, was ich sehr schade finde, da ein verschneiter Christkindlmarkt noch viel schöner anzusehen ist.
Der Wiener Wurstelprater ist einstweilen in einen Winterschlaf verfallen. Man muss bis zum Frühling warten, bis die Attraktionen wieder geöffnet werden und wieder alles zu neuem Leben erwacht.
Am Karlsplatz vor der Karlskirche befindet sich wieder der alljährliche handwerkliche Christkindlmarkt, wo man wunderschöne hangefertigte Waren erstehen kann.

December 2011
It was a lovely day today, a nice change to the daily grey of the last few weeks. So I took my camera and wanted to take some photos of the autumn/winter landscape, but everything looked so boring to me, the bare trees, the brown hedges, no flowers, it was really unexcting, that's why we went to Tramore again, I love the sea! It has so many faces, it can be wild, stormy, powerful and threatening or soft, gentle and calming.
It was about 3 o'clock, when the sky started to get darker already, you would have thought it is much later in the evening. I don't like it in winter, when the darkness dominates most times of our days.
Some last sun rays forced their way through the dark clouds and made the area around the Metal Man appear in a bright light, as if God was looking down there.
