20 feet

still








we checked into our Vienna hotel, a turn-of the last century, but updated luxury place. All décor is art deco. This was our waiting “fruit basket” (black wooden tray) , untouched and not moved. I just waited for the right light.

Yellow










Inner sanctum: I return to the medieval castle in Buda as often as I can, with my camera. Somehow on this day I was lucky to go through a door (well, I tried the handle and it wasn’t locked!) and found a plain, undecorated stone circular stairway. I went as high as I could until reaching this door at the top. It was yellow with age; not with paint.










Fireside tulip: I call it that because it warmed me to get so close to its pure yellow center.







Pest: ice cream …. Flowers are my favorite photo subject, but this is to show that I like other things too!














Narcissus center: This was growing next to the banks of the Lake Balaton in Hungary.


Sunflowers! The fields are everywhere.
