Dawn of the Dead (actually, afternoon)

Although I don’t usually honor national holidays the way good citizens of Austria tend to do, that is, by going to church and wondering if that’ll still be possible once those darn immigrants have installed their own churches, mosques and whatnot, I did today do what most other Austrians probably did: I went to the cemetery. My main motivation was the fact that the Jewish cemetery of the Vienna central cemetery is rather picturesque, and the fact that we had planned the whole thing more or less as foreplay to the visit of one of Vienna’s best Schnitzel places, the famous “Schloss Concordia” (which conveniently happens to be just opposite the central cemetary). Well, here are the pictures. Click the image to see the gallery.

    how I remember the googd old times - how on earth did you manage the enormous portion without a cigarette?

    speaking of gravestones I have rather funny coincidence just happening in the first of november - the day we mourn all the dead. Our dear Critter had been dug out of his place of eternal peace by a fox and carried away into the woods to be part of the ecologic circle earlier than anticipated. what a coincidence - to make sure that our dear cat never will be forgotten.

    yeah it is fantastic I thought as well - yesterday our father went out with a shovel in order to cover up the traces - and he’ll live on and on and on - it is a form of resurrection
