Summer in Vienna, part two
The Riesenrad is a wonderful example for 19th century engineering. People sometimes compare it unfavorably to the London Eye, which is twice its height. But think of it this way: It's only a few years younger than the Eiffel Tower, and it moves.In front of Schloss Schönbrunn. I was not allowed to take photos inside the castle, even after I paid half a king's ransom in admission.I just stood there and thought how I envied that najad.The so-called Roman Ruin isn't actually Roman. It was built in the 18th century.Ugh! A baroque garden. What a cruel way to treat mother nature!The parks behind the castle are quite extensive, and beautiful, once you get past the baroque rosebeds and trees aligned with military precision.
Spent another day as a tourist at home. Pictures: http://blog.soher.at/2009/07/31/summer-i…
