A Taste of Vienna

I have recently got back from a trip to Vienna, the elegant capital city of Austria.  Surrounded by fascinating architecture, history and art, I was very excited to use my new camera to create some beautiful images. It is the first time I have had the opportunity to use my camera abroad and it was especially interesting to experiment with it in different lighting situations.  I took many photographs but here are some of my favourites which I think give a flavour of Vienna.  To taste the real flavour you have to go and try the schnitzel and strudels for yourself!

Prater - an old fashioned amusement park



The Giant Ferris Wheel
