On the Streets of Vienna for World Wide Wednesday

“Österreich ist eine kleine Welt, in der die große ihre Probe hält.”
Friedrich Hebbel

On the Streets of Vienna

Vienna, Oh Vienna
We’re always glad to see ‘ya

You may not be as pretty as Sienna
Or even as hot as High Sierra
But we still love ‘ya
We really really love ‘ya

Vienna, Oh Vienna
We’re always glad to see ‘ya

Your old town feel
Some of it real
The others can’t steal
Don’t worry,
We made that deal

Vienna, Oh Vienna
We’re always glad to see ‘ya

Writing on the Asphalt

Can you decode this message?
Directions to follow?
Someone’s motto?
Or just some drunken Otto,
Trying to score some tacos?

Writing on the Wall

Mysterious graffiti on the wall..
The artistic views of street dwellers under influence of alcohol
Or possibly an alien message; someone who just wanted to make a home call

“The shortest distance between two points is a straight line” Archimedes

Straight Lines With a Twist (Daily Photo)

As the road narrows
Taller grow the midday shadows
Following the straight lines
Until an unexpected surprise

In the midst of the hike
A parked vintage bike
A smile on the face will strike

A Trip To Helsinki City (Sightseeing and Walkabout) One

Helsinki, the little town in the middle of nowhere, called Finland. You may have heard of it?

The place where all Finns dress in jumpsuits all year long and polar bears roam the streets. Penguins and other arctic dwellers are as familiar house pets as a cat or a dog. These Finns talk in funny accents and drink lots of coffee. They drive like nuts, because rally is in their bloods. They sit naked in the middle of freezing cold in a lake or a pond. In return, they have this dark small lodge, called the Sauna, where they sit naked in a hundred degree heat. Then later in July, when the sun comes out once a year, the complain about a twenty degree heat.

Yes, you know who they are! Welcome to Hell-sinki!
