    Whenever I see the first chocolate “sweet chestnut hearts” in the confectionery shop I know autumn is really here. One of my favourite sweets!

  • Fleischmarkt 1

    This was the first building I visited at the Open House Weekend in Vienna. I have a “special” relationship with Fleischmarkt 1 as its attic conversion is blocking my view! It´s more or less everything I see, when I take a look out of my windows. And to be honest sometimes in the last two years I was pretty annoyed with their ongoing renovation works. Therefore it was about time for a fresh start!fleischmarkt 1, vienna, ohw14, open house vienna, architecture

    Fleischmarkt used to be the meat market and a well known hot spot for taverns. In 1909 the “Residenzpalast” was erected according to the plans of the Jugendstil architect Arthur Baron. It was Austrias very first reinforced concrete steel building with glazed facades and floor-to-ceiling windows.

    I absolutely love strawberries and eat them from morning to evening when they are in season (and from local fields).

    But I just had to buy those white one when I spotted them today at the market. So far I´ve only seen them in pictures and haven´t been quite convinced if it´s photoshop or not. But they are white and it´s kind of creepy!.
