I’ve been negligent in posting updates from Europe. To atone, here are some christmassy (is that a word?) pictures from the last weeks.

A business trip brought me to Linz a few days later. This is an impression from the Landstraße with a view of the Ursulinen church.

There is a huge Christmas market at the cathedral. It it usually full of tourists and hard to pass through. So I just snapped this picture from the outside.

Salzburg
We had our company Christmas dinner in Salzburg this year (we’re split between Salzburg and Vienna), this is from my walk towards the venue.
The picture shows the Kajetanerkirche, it was built around 1690 and is currently part of a hospital (run by the order of the “Barmherzige Brüder”).

@otmar: It’s kind of fun to try to figure out which caption goes with which picture. Is that real snow under the trees for sale or fake? Love all the old buildings preserved. Here in California we haven’t been good at that, though the earthquakes don’t help.

The c@Mary G: the captions are over the correct pictures. The intended order is 4,3,2,1.
And the snow is for real.

I’ve always wanted to do one of those tours of the Christmas markets. Beautiful pictures.

Great pictures of lovely old buildings. I shopped at the Vienna Christmas market back in ’68 whilst thumbing my way from one town to another. These recovered dusty memories, thank you.
