Since I was visiting Schoenbrunn today, the biggest castle in Vienna, I thought I take a few shots. Hope you enjoy!
The Castle:

'Schoenbrunn' means beautiful fountains:

More of the garden:

The garden also houses the oldest zoo in the world:

You're right, it's a cheetah. I love wildcats. Got lucky too since normally they are not as willing to be photographed and their area is quite large.

was there anything between you and that cheetah besides that fence? Maybe a moat or something?
-
Nice photos, WL! :)

What, you think I can't take a cheetah? ;D
I really can't remember, but I'm sure it was safe. No moat though and I was pretty close.

If you can't take it I'm sure you can out run it.

yes very cool pics

That would be so cool running alongside the fastest beast in the world.

Schoenbrunn was only the summer residence of the emperors, here are some shots of their main residence in the inner city, called 'Hofburg' (clicking on the image titles provides higher resolution):
-
Some statues at one of the entrances, somewhat bodybuilding related ;D :
-
When did you take these pics of my guest house? How did you get past security? ;D
-
That is impressive 8)

Thanks, the high living standard kinda makes one lazy to travel though ;D
It's also funny how tourists always know more about your place than yourself.

This was the third main imperial residence in Vienna: Schloss Belvedere
Front of upper castle:

i presume those statues depict hercules during his 12 tasks. Last one looks like him wrestling with Cerebus.
Thanks for sharing. I plan to visit Vienna someday

I honestly don't know, but as I said, tourists often now more about your place than yourself. ;D

Diese Bilder bieten ueberaus beeindruckende Schoenheit. Nach Korea werde ich nie wieder soetwas als selbstverstaendlich annehmen, Sachen wie den blauen Himmel, die ehrfurchtvolle Architektur, die Geschichtlichkeit, die reine, unvergleichbare Schoenheit; es ist wahr: man wird erst dessen bewusst, was man mal hatte, nachdem man es verloren hat; Korea hat mir diese harte Lektion erteilt. Wenn ich wieder ich Bonn bin, besuche ich das Geburtshaus von Beethoven und mache einen Ausflug nach Koeln, um mir die Wunder der Stadt anzusehen...vor allem den Koelnerdom...
Europa sei gesegnet! Sollte ich das Lottospiel gewinnen, bin ich mir sicher, dass ich mir eine schoene Wohnung in Wien erstehe; Budapest, Berlin, Rekjavik, Kopenhagen, New York auch...vielleicht Paris...weiss net... ;D

Very nicely put!
Koeln has a nice inner city and the Koelnerdom is really beautiful, especially when you're on top. If you were a beer drinker I would say don't drink too much Koelsch ;D

Speaking of huge cathedrals, here's a few shots of Vienna's largest, the Stephansdom:

Auch der ist sehr beeindruckend; wenn mir eine Arbeitsstelle in Wien angeboten werden wuerde, wuerde ich das Angebot nicht ablehnen.
Du koenntest mich tagein, tagaus mit deinem Pseudotheismus vollquatschen! ;D

Tempting, yet not very promising, I'm afraid. The ego will do anything to maintain its position.
Ridicule and dodging logic being just two feats in its repertoire; quod erat demonstrandum. ;D
I would rather let you teach me a few languages, an endeavor of much greater prospect. :)

And finally, Nordic's and Deicide's ancestors ;D
Could you ask my cousin in the topic photo if he is still OK coming for poker night on Thursday instead of Wednesday?
Cheers!

Longitudo Undae, nunquam quidquid demonstravisti. Te cum logica argumenta demonstrare dicis, sed non solus sum qui logicam tuam non intellexit. Puto ut argumenta tua magis 'De Gustibus Non Disputandum Est' sint quam 'Quod Erat demonstrandum'. Cur credes ut conscientia humana satis ratio pro differentia inter animalia et homines sit? Hanc logicam non possunt omnes intelligere; Cur?

I learned English, yes? So there goes that theory. ;D
PS.: I never learned Latin, just know a few catch phrases. But I should have known that you're perfect in that one too. :)

Yes, it's a sad state of affairs, but at least I know how his mind works when we are playing poker 8)

Morning, Noon, and Night in Vienna

Where are the pictures of Korlsplotz?
For those who don't know Korlsplotz - it's a place where bodybuilders openly discuss drugs in the highest scientific lingo ... simply pure heaven for people trying to stay fit and healthy.
