As mentioned in my post from yesterday, I got 22 postcards on Friday and these 2 are among them. My sensei (former professor and thesis advisor at the Graduate School) traveled to Austria and Germany recently and sent me 5 postcards from Vienna and 2 from Braunschweig. It's really cool cause I've only got 2 official postcards from Austria so far. I've got a lot from Germany but the two he sent me are the only ones I have from Braunschweig.
These cards features the spire of the St. Stephen's Cathedral. According to Uncle Wiki, it is the mother church of the Roman Archdiocese of Vienna and the seat of Archbishop of Vienna. It's of Gothic and Romanesque architecture and one of the most recognizable symbols of Wien (Vienna).
On the second card, it's seen from the palace complex of Belvedere, which means 'beautiful view'.
I am dreamy right now of walking on the streets of Vienna under a clear blue sky. Hopefully, in the future!

Wonderful postcards. Hope your dream comes true.
ReplyDeleteAh, yes, I can enjoy walking with you. The blue skies are lovely.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday, Maria!
Those are amazing scenes! I'm so happy for you and hope you get to see the city for yourself soon!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous postcards Maria ;D
ReplyDeleteI've not been to Vienna (yet) but I hope to one day so it's going on my wish-list.
Have a great day!
