Vienna - Chocolate, crystal, silver, gold, and scary statues

We strolled a little down Kohlmarkt. I stopped in Demel to buy some chocolates. It was so hard to decide.  K went to buy some postcards, so while I was waiting I window shopped at a cute little gold and silver shop.

Der Demel - great stop for Chocolates

An expensive gold and silver shop.
Take a look in the window...below.





A very calm woman...

A slightly irritated man

And one scared out of his mind!  What is this?

The full wall fountain with statue group.
This is opposite the "Mastery of the Land"
at the Hofburg Palace Michaelerplatz entrance.
'Mastery of the Sea'.
It was sculpted in 1895 by Rudolf Weyr and
symbolizes the Austrian naval power.
Eggs, in a little shop along the way. Thought that they
were interesting.

    The store is just beautiful.

    I like the map orientation. Cool idea.
