Ladies in Café Schwarzenberg in downtown Vienna. Café Schwarzenberg is a beautiful Secessionist café. They have an old Rowenta coffee machine inside (not in use though), huge marble walls and secessionist tile ceiling.
But their coffee is horrible. The cappuccino comes not with milk foam but with whipped cream and it tastes awful. The cakes are only OK (although good looking).
The ÖMV oil company’s refinery is located by the motorway to Budapest. It looks very cool in the sunset and illuminated.
Looks like a Ukrainian circus show in Vienna.

I ran into the qualification trainings yesterday on my way back home from work. I stopped to take some pictures and I captured the last turns of the pilots.Â
Parliament on the left, castle in the background and increased security after the disastrous events on the national day celebrations 3(?) years ago, then several people died during one of the largest storms of the past decades.Â
Andrássy is by far the most beautiful large avenue of Budapest. Every visitor should walk through it from one end to another. You’ll find nice shops, Cafés, restaurants (don’t miss Klassz!) but above all, architecture.
Ladder in the cellar.
Spices and dried herbs hanging on the roof.
Waiting to be filled with Gönci Barack Pálinka.
Ironically this more and more bohemian neighborhood still has elements of its not so glorious past.
Rooftop of Prague’s cool contemporary museum.
The wonder.
The museum.
Prague’s secessionist face. It’s a pub actually in the basement. Quite a tourist trap if you ask me but still, I went back there.
Early morning in Prague.
It’s a bit moody in the morning fog, taken from the famous Charles bridge.

Homeless man at Budapest’s Gloria Jean’s Coffee house. Now the coffeehouse’s gone, poverty remains.
Candles.
Andrássy út in Xmas lights.
April still life at Kopaszi-gát.
Tenderness.
Strange boats.
The old factory buildings provide an excellent contrast to the lively garden which is Kopaszi-gát today and its XIst century buildings. I can only hope that both will remain intact for a long time.
This picture was taken at the Kopaszi-gát in south Buda. After a tricky privatisation, sale to a Portuguese investor and a rental contract this area’s now promenade through a nice garden n a perfectly thin, long peninsula filled with abandoned new buildings, like this one on the photo.
The entrance of the secret passage.
Hasn’t been opened for a long time.
