I love this image. Ted and I took the escalator up to the terrace of Albertina, Vienna’s most important collection of Graphical Art. I saw the reflection in the window and reflexively took the image. You can’t call that a well planned shot. Not really.
But look at it: Everything’s there!
-
Behind the glass a menu with Wiener Schnitzel and lots of other typically viennese meals.
-
Three horse carts, in Vienna called “Fiaker”.
-
To the left in the background Alfred Hrdlicka’s Monument against Fascism.
-
To the right in the windows on the far side we see posters of Egon Schiele and Siegmund Freud.
Any cliché missing?
Now that I think of it, the escalator didn’t move, we had to climb. The glass was very dark and I had to use 1/6 s. Had it moved, the shot would have been impossible.
Oh, and, one more thing: Today is this blog’s 12th birthday! Cheers 🍻
