glorieta-001.jpg

The Schönbrunn Palace was the summer residence of the Habsburg emperors of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire. Its gardens are magnificent, and they are among my favorite places of Vienna. A very important architectural element of the gardens is the Gloriette.
In the photo that I share a show a detail of the the Gloriette (you can see the imperial symbols on the roof) and its view is surrounded with the trees in early autumn. It was captured from one of the small paths that leads to the top of the hill where the glorieta is located.

  • Congrats, @xaviduran, you are the Honorable Mention! :)

Happy to join with my photo of the Long-eared Owl.

Owls are renowned masters of disguise and they blend perfectly at daytime with the trees. If you are unaware about the presence of the owl, most likely you won't see the bird. We, hubby and I know about the whole family of owls living in the park and although the two owlets are moving around and not staying at the same place, they still are in a small area, where we can find them. This is but one of the parents, who I think is the father, as the mother is whiter. The sun rays penetrate through the branches and yet, the owl is well hidden.
