Vienna had a very warm winter so far but there was at least one morning with a tiny bit of snow. And we tried to make the most of it! Lena dreamt of a photoshoot in the snow with her trusty companion Catchi.
An early morning in Sulz, near Vienna.

Arrivederci Venezia!
It was about time to say goodbye to La Serenissima! This was the only day I bought myself a day-ticket for the Vaporetto and after having walked about 25 km the day before (this just happens when in Venice) I decided to spend my last hours cruising around the Canale Grande.
Ciao Venezia! I´ll be back in May (or even earlier if you want me to!)

Palazzo Grassi
It´s time for the second part of the Damien Hirst exhibition in Venice at Palazzo Grassi, right in the heart of Venice. Built between 1748 and 1772 Palazzo Grassi is located on the Canale Grande. It was kind of a latecomer among the other Palazzi on the Canale Grande and has a more academic classical style than the surrounding Byzantine, Romanesque and Baroque Venetian Palazzi.
The Grassi family sold their Palazzo in 1840 and after changing ownerships today it is “owned by the French entrepreneur François Pinault who exhibits his personal art collection there. It was also where Pinault’s son Francois-Henri met actress Salma Hayek and it served as the location for their wedding vow renewal.” (Palazzo Grassi)
Entering the Palazzo one was greeted by a huge statue filling the whole atrium from bottom to top: “Demon with a bowl”
