Welcome to Vienna!

A street in Vienna. The neo-classical architecture is beautiful!	The Hundertwasserhaus. An apartment complex designed by a freaky artist. He believed that space is important to being happy.
I thought this was a beautiful scene. This was taken from the Belevedere Palace.	Mozart The city of music must have a statue of Mozart! They also have a golden statue of Strauss.
Belvedere Palace We didn't go inside this palace but the grounds were spectacular. I love the reflecting pool.	Belvedere Palace Gardens The gardens of the palace. Unfortunately the fountains were not in operation that day.
St. Stephen's Cathedral A lovely gothic cathedral made of limestone. The cathedral is constantly under repair -- thus the scaffolding in the next picture.
	I don't know if the picture can convey how cool this thing is. I'm not sure what it is -- looked like a pulpit -- but it has a spiral staircase and is intricately carved. The faces are not carved into the stone but carved out of the stone.
Rathaus (City Hall) We had lunch here on the second day of our visit to Vienna. Believe it or not they have a very popular restaurant in the basement of city hall. We ran into quite a problem here though. The waiters were very upset at some of our group because they left without paying for their drinks. No one realized we had to pay for our drinks. You gotta love a $3 bottle of soda!	Shonbrunn This was the summer palace for the Hapsburgs. Maria Teresa and her 16 children lived here. Her youngest daughter was Marie Antoinette. Shonbrunn means beautiful fountain.
Back Gate of Violence (The Monument against War and Fascism)   The sculpture on the left is a reminder of the mass murder of Jews, Poles, Gypsies, disabled and the freedom fighters who lost their lives. The right-hand portion is dedicated to the memory of all World War II dead.	Front The figure (barely visible in this picture) is the figure of a kneeling Jew...there to remind us of the acts of humiliation when Jews were force out of their homes and into the streets to clean away political slogans. The large object in the back contains the policy statement and the men who signed it when the Republic of Austria was restored in April 1945.
