The Opera is pretty impressive by daylight too:
Greenery all around the Ringstrasse:
The Rathaus, or City Hall, is Neo-Gothic in recognition of the fact that local governments began in the Middle Ages with the burghers:
The Austrian Parliament, in a Neo-Classical design to pay homage to the historical beginnings of democracy in Athens:

Ahhh I love Vienna.
Did you get a chance to check out the Hundertwasserhaus?
No, unfortunately we didn't make it over there. There's so much to see in Vienna, and there's a lot that I missed! Good excuse to go back, right?
Great photos as well! I would love to visit Vienna one day! You seemed to have a great vacation!
I'm crossing my fingers for you as well about the job situation. hopefully we'll hear back soon!
The opera does look cool!
The Parliament makes me think of - obviously - Greek architecture, but also of the Parliament in Buenos Aires. Same inspiration I guess!
The weather looks great too.
Katie - you should definitely visit Vienna! I loved it! Thanks for the good wishes about the job hunt.
Zhu - very neat that the Parliament in Buenos Aires resembles that in Vienna. The weather was amazing while we were away! Only one day of clouds. Very different from Picardie!
