We are staying in Kaisermuhlen, which is an area squeezed between the Donau (River Danube) and what we Australians would call a billabong that used to be part of the Danube, the Alte Donau.

| The ugliest modern belltower ever, for a lovely 19th century parish church |
 |
| Kaisermuhlen in the snow... |
 |
| Part of the front of Stefansdom (Cathedral)in the main square |
 |
| Enlarged portion (it was snowing...) |
 |
| I feel so sorry for this lion, trapped forever behind the anti-bird wire... |
 |
| One statue is Samson fighting a griffon. Not sure if it's this one. |
 |
| Here's the Graben fountain in the snow... |
 |
| ...with snow on the lion's nose |
 |
| No, the lion is not smoking.That's the waterpipe. |
 |
| Snow on umbrellas, a Fiaker and the Stubentor bus. I really am back in Vienna. |

That's not snow, more like flurries.
Nice to be back? First time in 20 years I gather. Never did make it to Austria.
Lovely! I wish it was snowing in my corner of Sweden, but no. Instead we get incessant rain.
He can break out of that wire any time he likes!
