Sasun Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 Nice pictures, but aren't we supposed to post pictures that we have taken personally? and places that we have been personally? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anileve Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 Nice pictures, but aren't we supposed to post pictures that we have taken personally? and places that we have been personally? That would limit me to 4 pictures. I've read about places and seen many pictures, so you can say that I traveled through books. Does that kind of traveling count?

Nakharar Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 You are brilliant Anileve! Notwithstanding the little hints I gave you did solve it!!! Excellent investigative work!! Hundertwasser also reminds me of Gaudi, the latter being one of my favorite architects of all time. I love all the other Art Nouveau style architects as well. I was born in Vienna and lived there for five years before we moved to the States. It's such a picturesque and friendly city. I left my heart there when we moved to LA. I have been living in Germany for the past 4 years now but I definitely prefer any country except Germany. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's great to know that I can trust you with confidential information. Sasun, it's all lies, lies I tell you!!!!!!! I love Sri Chimnoy.

You don't understand, I became obsessed with the structure, all day and night I was researching trying to find out the architect, and to no avail. I've browsed through at least 6 books, and found nothing, at least now I know what architecture books not to buy. I am so glad that I've learned about him. The photos of Vienna I saw are breathtaking, I thought that the architecture was demolished and the city is dominated by architecture lacking character, but to my great surprise I found it otherwise. I did hear from stories that people there are very friendly and the majority speak English (unlike Spain). Why the negative feelings towards Germany?

Nakharar Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 I live in Frankfurt, which is relatively speaking a nice, comfortable city. Despite the skyscrapers, it's not a pretentious city. They are not unfriendly at all and I speak the language perfectly, but I can't warm up to them somehow. I work in an international bank where most of the employees are rather a cosmopolitan lot so I associate with other foreigners more frequently. You should visit Vienna. Unlike most northern German cities, Vienna and Austria escaped relatively unscathed from the war. It's more compact and cozier than Germany and the people are genuinely more friendlier. It's definitely worth the trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I envy you for being able to relocate so often, one day, one day....  Fadyush, an eye for an eye. Edited July 30, 2004 by anileve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sasun Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 Sasun, it's all lies, lies I tell you!!!!!!! I love Sri Chimnoy. Although those who understand russian would find the name quite hilarious..."Sri". It is good to see your positive stance (I won't go any further on this question ) FYI, "Sri" is pronounced "shree" (it's not a name, rather a title).

Stormig Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 Is this surprising for some reason? No, it's just a nice shot, giving both statue and cathedral - and also where on the base Constantine's name is written. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
