Innsbruck, Austria Two

Art treasures are tucked away all around the old town area of Innsbruck, Austria.
These are just a few that caught my eye which I was able to capture with my
camera.

Above is a water fountain we discovered in a quiet little corner.
There were several tables set outdoors in this area where
folks could sit and drink a glass of wine or beer
or order up a meal ~ all while listening to the soothing
sounds of water cascading on this little fountain.


















One narrow side street has artwork posted along the walls.
It appears to be painted on wooden boards, but perhaps
these are posters applied to boards.
Can you tell that the picture with
multiple scenes are Advent calendars?






I was especially enthralled by "living" art at work.
Invisible men reading their daily newspaper.
To most, they were just another person
outdoors enjoying the beautiful
weather......not too remarkable until you
notice that they don't have a face/head!

Innsbruck, Austria Part One

Lovely Innsbruck, Austria
(too bad about the lamp post...)

CG and I drove down to visit today. It was a lovely, sunny
day. Innsbruck is less than 40 miles from us. Located in
a deep valley. The drive was pretty spectacular.

This is a lovely blue and white building.

But wait. There is something odd going on next door....









It looks like someone is trying to hide ......

or escape!

Not sure how well you can see the designs on this building.

I would love to live on the second or third floor, wouldn't you? Lovely in pink and white.
Emily, you could decorate the entire apartment like your dream house.
Very feminine.

This is one of the wider streets in
the old town area.

As you can see, there
are plenty of places to eat and engage in the sport of people watching.




The "golden roof" is really lots of small copper tiles covered in gold. The roof is over the balcony where the Emperor would stand to view parades as they wound their way along that wide street you saw above. ~M
