While all look right as they should, my heart goes with Galatea. I know this sculpture, as I have seen it among the first things when I first visited Greenwich, and I noticed how Rubensian she looked. Those were the times when Cutty Sark was still untouched by the later flames, and the Admiralty...

Not sure, Rob...it could be anything. Phone booth? Most probably, but out of use now. Modern life, as you said...

My first thought was to name the photograph "Wrong finger". But then again I noticed the King pointing thus, and I changed my mind :)

Where eagles dare, sort of thing... :)

No buses there nowadays, Peter, it's all pedestrian zone. At times, one may feel one is the only resident of this old place, as the square is empty most mornings. Times change, I guess...

Questions indeed, which may get answers, if they're asked that is :) The statues are actually a couple of ladies, and separate, the gentleman reading his newspaper; they're located in the middle of Koloman-Wallisch-Platz, Bruck an der Mur. Both (or rather all three of them statues) are the...

Somewhat true. The communities of the 80s are no longer that, they had been heavily diluted and lost the cohesion which made them resist against anything nature and wars threw at them. Those dangers are still present to a certain extent, but the main danger come from elsewhere nowadays. I am...

Rob, morning thoughts are the best many times :). They're fresh, unaffected yet by the daily events, I guess. I do agree with you, not my usual territory, but I took it as it presented itself to me. I was more attracted to the similarities than say, differences, mainly because those are the...

A day in a different community than mine. A great distance between mine and this here, but life flow is the same: people are about their daily routine. Different places, different language. The human element remains the same, because deep down, when all is said and done, we're the same...

Had the same feeling looking at the thing.

Thank you, Gary; the building is located right behind the public offices at 8/2 Thomas Klestil Platz, in Vienna that is. Easy to see this on Google Street, I guess :)

Always been amazed and in awe of the very tall buildings I see wherever I travel. Very daring this one here, especially it's a bit angled forward. Nikkormat FT3, Rollei 80s.
