I hope all is well. The third post from this mini-series is one I took in Vienna a couple of years ago. The best thing about Vienna is how easy it can be to be right in the city centre and hardly see any people. Regardless of the season, whether it be Summer or Winter, you could easily just take a camera find a nice quiet road and take some photos. The advantage of this is that the really nice alleyways, you may find, are more often than not deserted. This means that you don't get annoying people walking into your shot just when your about to take the photo.
There are various things which I like about this photo. Firstly, I like the way the bicycles are just placed against this rising wall that keeps on going vertically up. Whenever I go back to the spot where I took the picture, I still see the same bicycles resting against the side of the building (as if they have stayed there the whole time). Secondly the lighting of the street. There are no intense, blinding street lights, they create this certain ambience (perhaps sleepy?) Lastly the signs for the restaurant and gallery. The restaurant sign is one of many old-fashioned signs that typify the traditional Viennese restaurant/pub. While the modern gallery sign reflects the growing number in modern art/photography galleries - not the large, spacious type, but more the small, personal galleries.
