Snowing in Vienna

It's snowing in Vienna.

The ground is still too warm for any accumulation, but just seeing falling snow in front of the backdrop of the historic Imperial buildings is quite awe inspiring really. Wandering the Viennese Christkindelmarkts sipping steaming glu-wein rot (red mulled wine) and watching the snow flitting through the bright lights is a scene straight out of the European winter holiday text book. But that does not in any way diminish the enjoyment of the experience.

Aidan and David spent several hours today wandering the Natural History Museum. It is spectacular building (the domed building featured in several previous images), and the image here is the inside of that dome. We were thinking of a similar style of finish for our lounge room at home, but yet to find a suitable contractor...
