Phespirit goes to Austria
Vienna     November 2001

FROM STEPHANSDOM TO PRATER

This is the city .....

..... taken from the Pummerin bell tower of Stephendom, looking across the cathedral roof in direction of the Prater park .....

..... on a grey day.

SCHÖNBRUNN PALACE POSE

On a rushed visit to the summer residence of the old imperial family, Phespirit paused long enough to be photographed thus.

Keep moving .....

WEINER RIESENRAD

Phespirit ended his stay in Vienna with a ride on the ferris wheel in the Prater park. Turning at the civilised rate of 2½ feet per second it takes 10 minutes to complete a revolution - ample time to enjoy the view.

Built by an English engineer, so they say, name of Walter Basset (1896).
